Reducing methane emissions through operational discipline
Since 2019, ONEOK has reduced methane emissions by approximately 30%, while continuing to grow our operations, reflecting a sustained focus on operational discipline and emissions management across our system.
Our approach to reducing methane emissions is centered on:
Operational excellence
- Continuous monitoring and maintenance of gathering, processing and pipeline assets
- Early detection and repair of potential leaks
Targeted investments
- Deployment of improved technologies and equipment upgrades
- Prioritization of high-impact emissions reduction projects
Data-driven oversight
- Use of measurement and analytics to track performance
- Ongoing evaluation to identify additional reduction opportunities
Reducing methane emissions supports both environmental performance and operational efficiency. These efforts help strengthen system reliability, minimize product loss and align with our broader sustainability objectives.
We continue to evaluate new technologies and practices to further reduce emissions over time while maintaining safe, reliable operations.
