Texas Methane and Flaring Coalition said Wednesday in Austin it supports a goal of ending routine flaring by 2030. The coalition includes seven trade groups, including Permian Basin Petroleum Association, and more than 40 Texas operators. It was formed in 2019 “to develop industry-led solutions designed to mitigate and reduce methane emissions and flaring.” PBPA president Ben Shepperd said operators in Permian Basin are committed to and invested in reducing flaring. “We are proud to be part of this growing coalition focused on working together to promote environmental stewardship,” he said.
