Methane emissions reduction from compressors pilot project

The document described a pilot project aimed at reducing methane emissions from compressors at PEMEX. It examines the transition from wet to dry seal systems benefits and cost assessment. The study demonstrates significant environmental and economic benefits from adopting dry seal technology.

Reducing methane emissions: Transmission, storage, LNG terminals and distribution

This guide focuses on practices for reducing methane emissions from the natural gas transmission, storage, LNG terminals, and distribution segments of the supply chain. It specifically excludes mitigation measures for emissions downstream of the customer meter, as well as those related to LNG liquefaction and transportation. The guide outlines best practices for emission reduction within […]

Reducing methane emissions: Best practice guide – continual improvement

This best practice guide focuses on continual improvement in methane management within the oil and gas industry. To achieve “methane excellence,” companies must set ambitious targets to reduce emissions, enhance measurement techniques, adopt mitigation strategies, and improve reporting practices. The guide highlights the need for senior and asset management commitment, ensuring that methane management becomes […]

Reducing methane emissions: Best practice guide – venting

This guide provides strategies for identifying and reducing methane emissions from venting sources in the oil and gas industry. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining an inventory of emissions from venting and offers best practices for mitigation. Key recommendations include avoiding or reducing venting from sources such as hydrocarbon liquid storage tanks, compressor seals, glycol […]

Toward multi-scale measurement-informed methane inventories: reconciling bottom-up site-level inventories with top-down measurements using continuous monitoring systems

This work presents a real-world demonstration of how to reconcile CMS rate estimates and top-down snapshot measurements jointly with bottom-up inventories at the site level. More broadly, it demonstrates the importance of multiscale measurements when creating measurement-informed, site-level emission inventories, which is a critical aspect of recent regulatory requirements in the Inflation Reduction Act, voluntary […]

Reducing methane emissions: Best practice guide – operational repairs

This guide covers repairs to leaks discovered during leak detection and repair programs, as well as releases that may arise during routine maintenance and repairs of equipment. Guide highlights general strategies (mitigation strategies) to reduce emissions through operational repairs.

Reducing methane emissions: Best practice guide – equipment leaks

This guide focuses on identifying the sources of fugitive leaks and outlines effective strategies for their detection and repair. By implementing these mitigation measures, it provides actionable solutions to minimize emissions, improve operational efficiency, and enhance environmental compliance.

Reducing methane emissions: Best practice guide – engineering design and construction

This guide provides engineering and the design of systems options that can be used to reduce methane emissions before new facilities begin operations or when existing facilities are modified. The design phase provides the best opportunity to identify methane reductions.

Recommended practices for electrification of oil and gas facilities

This report provides recommendations for the electrification of oil and gas (and other petrochemical processing) facilities to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The use of electricity for shaft power (compression, pumping) and heat (fired heaters, boilers) allows the facility to use low carbon intensity power rather than burn hydrocarbons. Even in cases where connection […]

Origins of oil and gas sector methane emissions: on-site investigations of aerial measured sources

This study combines high-resolution, high-sensitivity aerial survey data with subsequent on-site investigations of detected sources to investigate sources driving emissions, associated options for mitigation, and the effectiveness of regulations in achieving intended outcomes. Measurements were performed in British Columbia, Canada, an active oil- and gas-producing province with modern methane regulations featuring mandatory three-times-per-year leak detection […]
