Reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas supply chain is a key component of a comprehensive climate strategy. Emissions originate from upstream production, midstream processing and storage or transfer to downstream refining and distribution. Advances in measurement technologies continue to increase the quality of methane emissions data, and new frameworks for reconciling data.This session highlights innovative technologies for measuring methane across the oil and gas supply chain and frameworks for analyzing these data. We are broadly interested in measurements from stationary and mobile platforms at all spatial and temporal scales. Relevant studies may include methods for improving emissions inventories, evaluation of sensor field performance, assessments of leak detection and repair programs, insights into spatiotemporal emission characteristics, or reconciliation of methane inventories. We are also interested in studies that compare performance across measurement platforms and studies that demonstrate the practical application of methods to mitigate risk and climate impact.
