Jonah Energy is a leader in testing and implementing new technologies to detect emissions across our operations. Our Monitoring, Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MMRV) program is industry-leading and has gained us recognition as one of the first upstream producers to achieve the UNEP Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0’s Level 5 Gold Standard reporting. This is the highest level of reporting in OGMP 2.0 and is also the standard identified in the European Union’s Methane Rules. Our demonstrated accountability and sustainability also extends to the protection of land, water and wildlife. Our Responsibly Produced Gas (RPG) initiative is at the heart of the effort to reduce our impact, particularly as it relates to methane emissions. For the past decade we’ve taken steps to directly measure all emission sources and to use that understanding to deploy capital to reduce emissions. We’ve reduced our methane emissions per unit of natural gas produced 68% over the past three years, resulting in one of the lowest methane and carbon emission intensities of any operator in the United States.

As part of our ongoing Responsibly Produced Gas initiative, we partner with a variety of environmental and community groups to further enhance our environmental protections and actively engage with state and federal regulators and community partners across our operations.

Jonah Energy’s Responsibly Produced Gas initiative is based on proven environmental sustainability, including:

  • Methane and carbon emission reductions
  • Reduced surface disturbance and a world-class reclamation program
  • Leading water recycling and groundwater protection measures
  • Enhanced protection of wildlife
  • Community partnerships
  • Partnerships with environmental conservation organizations

What powers our Responsibly Produced Gas initiative:

Deploying cutting edge LongPath laser-based emissions detection technology to quickly detect and eliminate methane leaks

Utilizing Drone technology as part of our MMRV practices

Integrating LongPath and Konica Minolta Optical Gas Imaging cameras to move from a calendar-based Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) program to a data driven LDAR program to reduce leak cycle time

Solar power on over 4,000 field units generating over 1.73MW of energy, enough to power 397 homes

No sourcing of water from rivers or lakes and produced water from our production is either recycled for reuse or treated and injected in on-site facilities

"Jonah Energy’s past and present operations in the Jonah Field reflect the company’s commitment to gainful and responsible natural gas production, as well as environmental sustainability and protection."
