The first IEEE Northern Canada Section Life Members Affinity Group (LMAG) -Edmonton Branch Canadian Society of Senior Engineers (CSSE) 2023-24 monthly noon zoom presentation has Bruce Peachey P.Eng FCIC\, FEIC \,FCSSE bringing us up to date on recent work in this area.\n\nThe ZOOM se ction starts at 12:45 PM MDT Wednesday Sept 20 and you can participate in this talk by letting Tom Madsen know you would like to tune in by contacti ng him before September 19 afternoon at tcmadsen@telus.net\n\nBruce is Pre sident of New Paradigm Engineering Ltd. and has over 45 years of experienc e in the Canadian oil and gas industry. He spent 16 years with Imperial Oi l\, in conventional and oil sands operations. New Paradigm was formed in 1 991 to engineer “new paradigms” or new ways of looking at energy syste ms. He was a founding director of the Petroleum Technology Alliance of Can ada (PTAC) in 1996. He has served as Chief Warden of Camp 6 of the Corpora tion of the Seven Wardens and is currently the Secretary-Treasurer of the CSSE.\n\nNew Paradigm has been working on methane reduction projects since 1998 (just after the Kyoto protocol was reached in December\, 1991). The decision to focus on methane was because it was a “low-hanging fruit” for GHG reductions and “no regrets” as these reductions would also pro vide other benefits beyond GHG reductions. With oil and gas shareholder in terest in achieving “net zero” targets in the last few years\, there h as been considerable progress in reducing emissions\, both through improve d regulations\, volumetric reporting\, incentives and collaborative action s by producers\, suppliers and governments. Results from the end of 2021 s how a 44% reduction in methane emissions from 2014 levels in Alberta vs. a target of a 45% reduction by 2025. These emissions in Alberta are now ~15 MtCO2e/yr vs. almost 50 MTCO2e/yr in 2006.\n\nThis presentation will take a high-level look the wide range of methane sources of methane emissions from oil and gas operations and some of the challenges which have been or are being overcome to further reduce them.\n\nCo-sponsored by: CSSE Edmont on Branch\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/373925 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/373925 ORGANIZER:stonyjones@ieee.org SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:Methane Mitigation  URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/373925 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="p1">Methane Mitigation is one sure fire way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
