Quantification of Methane Emissions from Marginal (Low Production Rate) Oil and Natural Gas Wells
- GSI Environmental Inc., Austin, TX (United States); GSI Environmental Inc.
The objective of this research was to measure methane emissions from marginal well sites at various basins across the United States. The goal was to collect and evaluate representative, defensible, and repeatable data and draw quantifiable conclusions on the extent of emissions from marginal wells across oil and gas producing regions of the U.S., and to compare these results to published data on the emissions from nonmarginal wells.
