Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, EagleRidge Energy serves 16 counties in the area. EagleRidge Energy oversees over 100,000 acres containing over 1,800 natural gas wells while abiding by all relevant state and federal regulations. Domestic agencies and governments worldwide continue to shape the fossil fuel industry, driving more transparent reporting and efficient operations.
Compared to coal and crude oil, natural gas emits the least amount of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane. Per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated, natural gas produces 0.91 lbs of CO2, coal produces 2.23, and crude oil produces 2.13. However, over time, governments worldwide increasingly demanded natural gas drilling companies report their greenhouse gas emissions more transparently.
In France, in October 2020, for example, they prevented a deal between the companies Engie and NextDecade, in response to a prior, confidential deal made in June between Engie and Cheniere Energy because of the liquid natural gas (LNG) created by NexDecade emitted too many greenhouse gases. The area of west Texas, where NextDecade planned to drill, emits 1.4 metric tons of methane annually.
To help economies worldwide decrease greenhouse gas emissions, in January 2022, the EPA proposed stricter reporting protocols on natural gas drilling companies to address massive methane leaks. Alongside preexisting regulations for smaller pipelines carrying more natural gas than intended, these rules would reduce methane emissions, which cause more severe warming effects than carbon dioxide. This rule, enacted by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) in November 2021, extended established federal pipeline reporting guidelines to preexisting smaller ones.
