Methane gas monitors will be installed on two Chesapeake Energy Corp. well pads in northern Pennsylvania as part of a pilot program aimed at eliminating direct greenhouse gas emissions by 2025.

The pads, one each in Bradford and Wyoming counties, have a total of nine wells, a Chesapeake spokesman said.

Chesapeake, the state’s third-largest natural gas producer, is partnering with Denver-based Project Canary, a climate tech start-up company, to install the monitoring technology on the wells in Pennsylvania and in the Haynesville shale in Louisiana.

The initiative is in response to environmental social governance expectations on oil and gas companies to have methane emissions minimized and gas produced in the most environmentally responsible manner, they say.

The monitors are part of its pledge to eliminate routine flaring on all new wells completed beginning this year and reduce methane intensity to .09 percent by 2025, Chesapeake says.

The partnership between Chesapeake and Project Canary could be expanded based on initial findings and market conditions, the two firms say.

Chesapeake has drilled 65 wells in the Marcellus Shale in northcentral and northeastern Pennsylvania and has three active rigs there.

A restructured Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February after cutting employees and shedding millions of dollars of debt.
