Event-based Site-level Emissions Simulation (ESES)
Reconciling the site-level emissions from top-down measurements and the source-level emission from bottom-up inventory in the oil and gas (O&G) sector is crucial for accurate environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance.
Objective
Develop an event-based methodology to estimate site-level emissions and uncertainties
Description
Reconciling the site-level emissions from top-down measurements and the source-level emission from bottom-up inventory in the oil and gas (O&G) sector is crucial for ensuring the accuracy of emission inventories, tracking emission mitigation progress, and aiding the development of regulatory policies. This study presents a new approach, which estimates site-level methane emissions using an emission event model developed based on the International Organization for Standardization/Open Geospatial Consortium sensor web standard. Our methodology employs the spatiotemporal correlation of emission observations (i.e., data indicating the occurrence of emissions from measurement technologies and O&G operations) to group multiple observations into a single event.
