Description:

Natural gas production in the United States has increased rapidly over the past decade, along with concerns about methane (CH 4) fugitive emissions and its climate impacts. Quanti ﬁcation of CH 4 emissions from oil and natural gas (O&NG) operations is important for establishing scienti ﬁcally sound policies for mitigating greenhouse gases. We use the aircraft mass balance approach for three ﬂight experiments in August and September 2015 to estimate CH 4emissions from O&NG operations over the southwestern Marcellus Shale. We estimate a mean CH 4emission rate as 21.2 kg/s with 28% coming from O&NG operations. The mean CH 4emission rate from O&NG operations was estimated to be 1.1% of total
