RE: Bloomberg and "Diversified Energy Company chief cheers 'important milestone'18 Dec 2023 18:14
"The Democratic Committee leaders concluded by demanding answers from Diversified Energy about the company’s activities, particularly as they relate to potential methane gas emissions. They are requesting documents and answers to their questions, including the following, by January 3:
How the company’s “Smarter Asset Management” program is implemented and how it differs from industry-standard practices;
Details surrounding who is tasked with conducting well visits, the number of employees dedicated to this task, and what procedures Diversified Energy uses to evaluate them;
Whether Diversified Energy uses continuous methane monitoring systems or devices to detect methane leaks from its wells, gathering lines, transportation infrastructure, compressor stations, or any other operations;
What standards Diversified Energy follows for plugging unproductive wells and cleaning up well sites;
Details surrounding how Diversified Energy is handling the approximately 9,800 wells that the company’s own survey found to have detectable methane emissions; and
What methodology the company uses to estimate the remediation costs of wells."
So much of this is old information being asked.
