Stop Treating Thief Hatches as Disposable. Saltwater disposal (SWD) wells and water midstream systems carry the heaviest load in the oil and gas value chain. They manage millions of barrels of hot, saline, often sour produced water every day and they’re doing it under growing regulatory and public scrutiny. Most operators focus on injection pressures,Read more

In October 2023[AE1] [JC2] [JC3] , we published our blog article Reducing Methane Emissions in the Oil and Gas Sector: The Super-Emitter Response Program previewing the major components of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Super Emitter Response Program included in the agency’s comprehensive update to 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOb, which focuses on standards of performance for crude oil and natural gas facilities. In this article we cover the final form of the Super-Emitter Response Program that was published in the Federal Register on March 8, 2024.

Encino Environmental CEO Scott McCurdy Featured in American Oil & Gas Reporter August 2025 Issue | Article: “Emissions Data Often Reveals Ways To Improve Other Metrics” What if your emissions data could do more than keep you in compliance? What if it could actually unlock operational savings, reveal upstream inefficiencies, and even reduce downtime? That’sRead more
