In recent years great strides have been made in satellite detection of methane emissions. There are now a variety of satellites with a variety of methane sensors and detection capabilities in orbit and several more planned in coming years. Today is public data with limited resolution, and high-resolution private data, in the future the new satellites will bring new levels of transparency to methane emissions in both public and private domains.
We have assembled a distinguished and expert panel working in this field to present and discuss what is possible and the impact this can have on the rapid mitigation of methane emissions.
Duration: 1.5 Hours
This series of webinars between thought leaders on climate change in the O&G industry and the broader O&G industry around the world will be undertaken in an effort to deepen understanding around issues of climate change and receive feedback from the wider oil and gas industry on the energy transition. A series of virtual dialogues will be held over 2020 with global scope, to discuss sustainability around key topics such as CCUS, reducing methane emissions, collaborative action, etc.
This webinar is categorized under the Health, Safety, Environment, and Sustainability SPE discipline
Stéphanie Saunier (Moderator)
Managing Director
Carbon Limits
Stéphanie Saunier is an expert on emission and mitigation potential for greenhouse gas emissions from the Oil and Gas sector. Over the past decade she has worked extensively on these matters on behalf of a number of institutions including the Norwegian and Canadian Ministries of Environment, EBRD, the EU commission, NOROG and EDF. Stephanie has been a key person and the project manager of dozen studies evaluating methane emissions mitigation and gas flare reduction projects in Europe, North America, central Asia and South America.

He has been a visiting fellow at Yale and Harvard Universities and earned both his M.F.S and Ph.D. from Yale University.
Eric Kort
Professor
University of Michigan
Eric Kort is an Associate Professor of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research group studies greenhouse gases and air pollutants through ground-based, airborne, and space-based observations. Kort’s group has done extensive airborne measurements of methane emissions from the oil and gas sector and conducted among the first space-based analyses of methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. Recipient of early career awards from NASA and NSF, Eric holds both an S.M. and Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Harvard University.
Antoine Rostand
President and Founder
Kayrros
Antoine Rostand began his career more than 20 years ago as a wireline field engineer. Since then, he has gained a strong expertise working with many of the world's largest oil companies, advising on growth strategies, human resources, organizational changes, mergers and acquisitions, and operational excellence.
