Abstract
The objective of this document is to provide improved data for determining the inventory of VOC emissions from wellhead casing vents associated with thermally enhanced oil recovery (TEOR) in California. Both steam drive and cyclic steam wells are examined in terms of emissions and population. The study concentrates on Kern County. The details of a testing program conducted to determine the emissions from cyclic steam wells are presented, along with the results of a survey of the characteristics of the well, the producing field, and the steaming operation. The results of correlation studies are also presented. An emission factor for cyclic wells is developed. The data base presented consists of a survey of 358 wells of which 58 were quantitatively tested. Emission data for steam drive wells is presented in the form of compliance tests for vapor recovery systems associated with steam drive operations. This report presents a summary of the applicable test data which was found and an emission factor developed from that data.
