New Study Measures Methane Emissions from Natural Gas Production and Offers Insights into Two Large Sources
David Allen‘s research team and environmental testing firm URS report that a small subset of natural gas wells are responsible for the majority of methane emissions from two major sources — liquid unloadings and pneumatic controller equipment — at natural gas production sites.
With natural gas production in the United States expected to continue … Read the rest »
Unprecedented Measurements Provide Better Understanding of Methane Emissions During Natural Gas Production
A new study led by David Allen, professor of chemical engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, reports on extensive measurements of methane emissions — including the first measurements for methane emissions taken directly at the well pad — during completion operations for hydraulically fractured wells. A team of researchers from UT Austin’s … Read the rest »
