| Taylor & Francis Online
Abstract This study explores the effect of different phases of unconventional shale gas well-pad development on ambient air quality and the relationship between ambient concentrations of air pollutants and operator activity. The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory operated a mobile air-monitoring laboratory on two shale well pad sites in Pennsylvania and six shale well pad sites in West Virginia.

Oil and natural gas are primary sources of energy in the United States. Improved drilling and extracting techniques have led to a renewed interest in historic oil and gas fields, but limited records of legacy wells make new drilling efforts more difficult, as abandoned wells may provide conduits for liquids and gases to migrate into groundwater reservoirs or the atmosphere.

Beyond-the-Meter: Unaccounted Sources of Methane Emissions in the Natural Gas Distribution Sector

|
By Natalie J. Pekney
| American Chemical Society
The United States Environmental Protection Agency maintains an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Methane (CH4), a potent gas with a global warming potential 86–125× that of carbon dioxide (CO2) over a twenty-year period, is the main component of natural gas (NG). As NG becomes an increasingly larger percentage of the energy resources used in the United States, it is ever more important to evaluate the CH4 emissions inventory.
