Reducing methane emissions across the oil and gas supply chain requires accurate quantification, effective detection, rapid response, and mitigation of leaks. Emissions occur across upstream production, midstream processing and transport, and downstream operations, often from unintended releases that pose environmental and safety risks. Advances in sensing technologies, monitoring strategies, and data integration are enabling more timely identification of emissions and improved operational decision-making.

This session highlights recent advances in technologies and approaches for detecting, characterizing, and mitigating methane emissions. We welcome studies using stationary, mobile, and continuous monitoring systems across spatial and temporal scales. Relevant topics include sensor performance under field conditions, innovations in leak detection and repair (LDAR), emission dynamics and persistence, and methods for prioritizing high-impact sources. We also seek studies comparing measurement platforms, integrating multi-scale datasets, and demonstrating how measurement-informed strategies reduce emissions while improving safety and risk management.
