Albertson, J., T. Harvey, G. Foderaro, P. Zhu, X. Zhou, S. Ferrari, S. Amin, M. Modrak, H. Brantley, AND E. Thoma. A Mobile Sensing Approach for Regional Surveillance of Fugitive Methane Emissions in Oil and Gas Production. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, 50(5):2487-2497, (2015).

Impact/Purpose:

This is a peer reviewed journal article submission that advances GMAP OTM 33 mobile measurement and fixed place fence line NGAM topics. This paper is focused on methods development and does not contain new or unpublished source emissions results regarding oil and gas.

Description:

This paper discusses plan-path and automated concepts for inspection to localize individual leaks and to quantify their source rates over regions with active oil and gas well pads and pipelines.
