This research digest highlights new work on methane measurement, mitigation, and emissions intensity across the oil and gas sector. Studies examine top-down benchmarking of U.S. methane inventories, satellite observations of marginal wells and Algerian production, methane import standards, mitigation opportunities in Nigeria, controlled-release testing, offshore quantification challenges, and distribution-system measurements. Top-Down Benchmarking in the US […]

Research Digest 020

In this 20th milestone edition, we cover recent methane measurement research, including two recent review papers, and work involving quantification performance, methane intensity estimates, and new quantification methods.  New Review of Measurement and Modelling  The current status of models and measurements of methane emissions from oil and gas supply chain sources is reviewed. The authors state that no single measurement technique can accurately characterize the emissions from all sources. This work recommends integrating multiple approaches for an optimized […]
