Meeting roles in:
A First Measurement-Based Oil and Gas Sector Methane Inventory for Colombia
Leveraging Aerial and Ground-based Insights to Produce Reconciled, Measurement-Based Methane Inventories
Dr. David R. Tyner is a Senior Research Associate in the Energy and Emissions Research Laboratory (EERL) at Carleton University with over a decade of experience working to quantify and provided insight into methane emissions from Upstream Oil and Gas production in Western Canada. Before joining EERL, Dr. Tyner completed a Ph.D. in Mathematics and Engineering at Queen’s University in Kingston Ontario in 2007. In collaboration with governmental and industry partners Dr. Tyner’s research has been focused on understanding methane emissions at the source-level through both ground level field studies and large national scale aerial measurement surveys of oil and gas facilities in Western Canada. This research has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed journal articles on creating a framework for hybrid bottom-up top-down measurement inventories, identifying key emission source profiles driving regional and provincial emissions, techno-economic methane mitigation, methane regulatory equivalency, and the development of laser-based measurement tools for liquid storage tanks and venting sources. Dr. Tyner’s work experience is directly applicable to emerging opportunities for measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) programs and partnerships with industry partners moving toward OGMP 2.0 certification.
