Methane Emissions in Oil and Natural Gas Supply Chains: A Practical Guide
Field-tested methods for measuring and mitigating oil and gas methane emissions
Oil and gas supply chains globally emit about 100 million tons of methane per year, yet accurate measurement and mitigation remain significant technical challenges. Methane Emissions in Oil and Natural Gas Supply Chains: A Practical Guide draws on over a decade of research to translate emissions data into actionable emission reporting and climate accountability frameworks for the energy sector.
The book provides field-tested tools for quantifying methane across production, processing, and transmission segments. It covers detection technologies, emissions modeling methodologies, and geospatial lifecycle assessment approaches. Problem sets for training make the content directly adaptable for workforce development programs and university classrooms alike.
Readers will also find: Practical methods for estimating and reporting methane emissions aligned with evolving regulatory and corporate reporting requirements Strategies for translating complex atmospheric chemistry data into operational decisions supporting both compliance and environmental stewardship goals Guidance tailored for international capacity-building programs addressing methane emission reporting across diverse regulatory and operational contexts worldwide Adaptable training content designed for engineers, policymakers, and researchers entering the methane emissions measurement and mitigation field
Designed for oil and gas technical professionals, management teams, and regulatory personnel overseeing methane-related policies, this book also serves emerging researchers in climate science, environmental engineering, and energy systems. It provides evidence-based methods needed to advance methane emission reporting across operational and policy domains.
