This study measured methane emissions from liquid unloadings at 107 wells in natural gas production regions throughout the United States. Assuming the data is representative of regions throughout the United States, the study findings indicate that the estimate of methane emissions from liquid unloadings are within a few percentage points of emissions estimated in the U.S. EPA’s 2012 Greenhouse Gas National Emission Inventory released in 2014.
