John and I have a great talk about the new reports from Enverus on the "Upstream Emissions Starting the Decent to Net Zero" and "Say Goodbye to Flaring Uncertainty." With both of these extensive reports, we had a lot to cover.

John Gutentag [00:15:44] Yeah. Yeah. So ever since it peaked in 2019, I can't remember the exact month, but we've seen a very material drop. I believe via satellite; we saw a 67% drop. And then, when you look at the total U.S. reported to the EPA, flaring emissions are down 50% from 2019 to 2021. So that's huge. ..


Sometimes the sales line for gas would take a long time, so they'd bring the wells online, get the oil production because that was hooked up, and then flare the gas flaring by design. Now, most operators always wait to have the sales line put in place before they bring a well online. They obtain redundant connections.


Stuart Turley [00:17:24] When we talk also, I love the stories of the other Bitcoin miners and operators using stranded gas for power generation. I love that it turns the bitcoin mining into is, you know, ESG funding for bitcoin till bitcoin, I think, just totally wiped all that out.
