“Operators, particularly here in Utah and the basin, have taken a lot of initiative to get in front of this issue, and have made a lot of changes and investments in infrastructure and operational practices that are significantly reducing emissions as well,” said UPA President Rikki Hrenko-Browning. Check out the full article from the Deseret News about how methane emissions have declined in drilling basins despite an increase in production. https://lnkd.in/gQrJeWVi

Thrilled to share our industry’s support of the community through Trees for Charity yesterday in Vernal and last week at Enchanted Forest in Duchesne. Our producers showed up in great numbers and shared the holiday spirit. Check out some pics!

"Cushing has done it again! The all-important hub in central Oklahoma is once more broadening the range of crude oils it handles, this time by figuring out how to receive and blend the quirkiest of domestic oils: yellow wax crude from Utah’s Uinta Basin. Better still, the blending can create a fully compliant Domestic Sweet (DSW), the crude quality deliverable on the CME/NYMEX futures contract usually referenced as West Texas Intermediate (WTI). In today’s RBN blog, we discuss how it works and what it means for Uinta producers, waxy crude marketers, refiners and Cushing itself."

From all of us at Utah Petroleum Association, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! We especially want to say thank you to the oil & gas workers away from their families and working to provide the resources that keep our country and our world moving!
