Discussion of Issues that cross Activity Sectors

  • What are the sources, by activity?
    • Indirects
    • Mobile
    • Combustion
    • Venting
    • Flaring 2
    • Other fugitive emissions
  • For these sources, where is there existing guidance in other protocols?
  • What terms need to be defined?
  • What geographic questions need to be answered?
  • Other questions?
12:00 pm

Lunch

1:00

Please proceed directly to break-out discussion rooms in the Roundhouse

Break-out discussion groups, by industry sector:

  1. Exploration & Production
  2. Gathering & Processing

Each group should identify issues unique to these activities, including:

  • Further identification/definition of sources
  • Boundary definitions -
  • Emission factors – availability and quality
  • Ability to measure – direct measurement, calculations available, is there further research needed?
  • Are there appropriate metrics for this sector? (e.g., CO2/mmBTu extracted? CO2/BOE produced?)
  • Other sector-specific issues?
