About Oilfield Witness

We are methane hunters and organizers. We use optical gas imaging technology to expose the dirty secrets of oil and gas. We leverage this intelligence to educate the public and policy makers to strengthen climate movements. If you could see oil and gas pollution with your bare eye, there would never have been a fracking boom. THE PROBLEM: CLIMATE DELAY The oil and gas industry has a new strategy to maintain their system of profiting from environmental destruction. They no longer deny that their actions cause climate change. The new strategy is to delay their inevitable end while expanding operations as fast as they can. Publicly they claim to embrace regulations while continuing to pay lobbyists millions to fight regulations and spending $500 to $700 million yearly on PR campaigns. They talk about commitments to net zero, carbon offsets, and technologies to cut methane, and about sucking carbon out of the air. But plans to reduce emissions while expanding operations lack credibility. They continue to fraudulently under-report emissions. Over seventy percent of Americans want action on climate change, but many believe the industry propaganda that “natural gas" is clean and that the methane emission problems can be easily solved. These dangerous lies appeal to some politicians and to corporate interests.
