In this study, we analyzed 600 well measurements to assess the impact of well and reservoir attributes or contributing factors on methane emissions. All measurements are from well-heads at surface and the factors analyzed represent well or reservoir characteristics for each measured well. While trend analyses did not establish any clear correlation, our study identified well age and well density as influential. Notably, newer wells were associated with higher emissions. Expanding the analysis to a larger emissions dataset across different fields and reservoirs would improve the robustness and reliability of the findings, and bear more definitive conclusions.
