AJOT | March 11, 2021 | Energy

Natural gas flaring at US non-upstream onshore oil and gas facilities reached an 18-month high in February, at 180.9 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd), a Rystad Energy report shows, as frigid weather conditions in Texas forced oil refineries, gas plants and even LNG terminals to initiate the emergency release of gas as most facilities struggled to cope with the extreme weather. Flaring at oil refineries in particular rose to 64 MMcfd, the highest in our database, which dates back to January 2018.

Annual US coal exports drop 26% between 2019 and 2020

AJOT | March 11, 2021 | Energy

In 2020, U.S. coal exports declined to 69 million metric short tons (MMst), a 26% decrease from 93 MMst in 2019. Steam coal exports, which accounted for 40% of the total, declined by more than one-third, dropping 34% from the previous year to 27 MMst. Metallurgical coal had a smaller, but still significant, decrease of 20%. The COVID-19 pandemic slowed global demand for coal, and some U.S. coal mines were idled for extended periods to slow the spread of the virus. Coal exports decreased significantly in April 2020 as the United States and countries around the world responded to the pandemic.
