Seeking to achieve independent certification of natural gas production, Northeast Natural Energy is the first U.S. natural gas producer to receive the EO100™ certification and the first company in the Appalachian region to achieve an "A" rating from MiQ for almost its entire production. An "A" rating signifies a methane intensity of 0.05% or less, along with the highest scores in company practices and the use of monitoring technology.
MiQ is a global leader in emissions certification, and offers a market-based approach to rapidly reduce methane emissions across the natural gas sector.
In this exclusive interview, B.J. Carney, Vice President Geoscience & Innovation at Northeast Natural Energy shares how reporting requirements for MiQ align with the US’s newly proposed methane regulation and offers best practice advice for other operators facing challenges similar to NNE in emissions data management and compliance.

For more than 100 years, millions of wells have been drilled across the United States to extract oil and gas. These wells have now led to an inordinate number of “abandoned” or “orphaned” wells, posing a significant risk to the environment and the health of neighbouring communities, while contributing uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere.
An orphaned well refers to a well that has no responsible operator, leaving the financial responsibility to plug and remediate the wells to local, state, or federal agencies. In response to the risks posed, President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has directed the Secretary of the Interior to establish programs to inventory and properly close orphaned wells, allocating a historic investment for the program’s effective implementation.
Ahead of her keynote presentation at the Methane Mitigation America Summit in Houston, from 5-7 December, on ‘Establishing the Orphaned Wells Program’, we sat down with Kimbra Davis, Director of the Orphaned Wells Program Office, Department of the Interior, for an exclusive interview. Acting as the driving force behind the program, Kimbra shares valuable insights into the program’s alignment with global environmental and energy policy goals, the funding allocation, and the challenges it may face.
In recent years, private equity is becoming an increasingly powerful change agent for driving progress on ESG, climate progress and sustainability.
