Quantifying Regional Methane Emissions in the New Mexico Permian Basin with a Comprehensive Aerial Survey

Yuanlei Chen et al.

Summary: Limiting methane emissions from oil and gas activities presents a significant opportunity for immediate climate benefits. A basin-wide airborne survey in the New Mexico Permian Basin revealed that methane emissions accounted for 9.4% of total gas production, with 50% coming from large emission sources.

Methane emissions from US low production oil and natural gas well sites

Mark Omara et al.

Summary: Although low production well sites in the US account for only a small fraction of oil and natural gas output, they are a significant source of CH4 emissions, contributing to a substantial portion of the total emissions. Therefore, mitigating emissions from these low production well sites is crucial for reducing O&G CH4 emissions.

Methane remote sensing and emission quantification of offshore shallow water oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico

Alana K. Ayasse et al.

Summary: This study used imaging spectrometers and glint targeting to measure methane emissions from shallow water offshore oil and gas platforms. The findings show that the emissions from these platforms exhibit highly skewed super emitter behavior. The study also revealed that the persistence and loss rate of shallow water offshore infrastructure tend to be higher than typical onshore production.

Quantification and assessment of methane emissions from offshore oil and gas facilities on the Norwegian continental shelf

Amy Foulds et al.

Summary: The oil and gas sector is a significant source of methane emissions, and quantifying these emissions remains challenging. This study compares methane emission data collected from 21 offshore facilities with operator-reported emissions and a global inventory. The results show that operator-reported emissions are accurate, while the global inventory underestimates the emissions.

Life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of crude oil and natural gas from the Delaware Basin

Wally Contreras et al.

Summary: The development of the Permian Basin has disrupted global oil and gas trade, with the greatest growth coming from the Delaware Basin sub-play. A novel life cycle assessment shows that the greenhouse gas emissions associated with oil and gas products from the Delaware Basin are lower, especially when a 1% flaring rate is achieved.

Consistent Metrics Needed for Quantifying Methane Emissions from Upstream Oil and Gas Operations

David T. Allen et al.

Summary: The study explores the impact of different allocation methods for methane and other greenhouse gas emissions from production activities in the Eagle Ford Shale region in Texas. Variations in emission allocation methods can result in differences in estimated emissions of 50-110 g CO(2)e/MJ of natural gas, similar to the difference in combustion emissions between coal and natural gas.

A tale of two regions: methane emissions from oil and gas production in offshore/onshore Mexico

Daniel Zavala-Araiza et al.

Summary: This study used atmospheric observations, aircraft measurements, and satellite data to quantify methane emissions from Mexico's onshore and offshore oil and gas production regions. The findings revealed significantly higher methane emissions from onshore production areas compared to offshore, with a single gas processing complex emitting more than the largest offshore production region. The research highlights the need for local empirical characterization of emissions for effective mitigation strategies.

Carbon implications of marginal oils from market-derived demand shocks

Mohammad S. Masnadi et al.

Summary: The expanded use of novel oil extraction technologies has diversified the global oil supply's carbon footprint. Past life-cycle assessment studies have overlooked upstream emission heterogeneity and assumed that a decline in oil demand will displace average crude oil. The study reveals a non-linear relationship between carbon emissions reductions and oil demand reductions, depending on the magnitude of demand drop and the global oil market structure.

Declining methane emissions and steady, high leakage rates observed over multiple years in a western US oil/gas production basin

Summary: Research in Utah's Uinta Basin shows that methane emissions from oil and gas production have decreased in recent years, but as a percentage of gas production, emissions remain high.

Acting rapidly to deploy readily available methane mitigation measures by sector can immediately slow global warming

Ilissa B. Ocko et al.

Summary: This paper analyzes the climate benefits of fast action to reduce methane emissions compared to slower and delayed mitigation timelines. It finds that rapid implementation of available mitigation measures can significantly reduce near-term temperature rise and slow the global-mean rate of warming. Urgently scaling up efforts to implement methane mitigation measures is crucial to limiting climate damages in the near-term.

Methane emissions from upstream oil and gas production in Canada are underestimated

Katlyn MacKay et al.

Summary: Methane emissions were measured at 6650 sites across six major oil and gas producing regions in Canada, showing variations by fluid type and geographic region. The estimate for Canada's upstream oil and gas methane inventory is underestimated by a factor of 1.5, particularly in heavy oil regions and in emission intensities for natural gas production.

Unravelling a large methane emission discrepancy in Mexico using satellite observations

Lu Shen et al.

Summary: Using TROPOMI satellite observations, a study found significantly higher methane emissions from the oil and gas sector in eastern Mexico compared to previous estimates, particularly from the southern onshore basin. This suggests the need for stronger mitigation measures to reduce the anthropogenic methane emissions footprint, especially from the oil and gas industry in Mexico.
