New Approaches to Methane Measurements from Oil and Gas Operations – Methods, Data, and Insights
New Approaches to Methane Measurements from Oil and Gas Operations – Methods, Data, and Insights
Session ID#: 82526
Session Description:
Federal and state governments increasingly recognize the importance of reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector as part of a comprehensive climate strategy. Recent advances in emissions detection technology have led scientists to gather spatially and temporally dense data on methane emissions from oil and gas operations using a variety of sensors and platforms.
This session will focus on new methane emissions data aggregated at the facility or basin-level using innovative detection and quantification approaches. These studies can focus on improved emissions inventories, demonstrate field performance of new technologies, analyze the effectiveness of leak detection and repair programs, develop insights on temporal characteristics, or identify limitations in existing practices.
We are also interested in studies that compare methane emissions detection and mitigation across different technology platforms. Finally, studies that integrate new technology models into existing operator practices or policy frameworks are also welcome.
