Oil/Gas Emissions Workgroup: Phase III Inventory

Phase III Project
In Fall 2007, the Independent Petroleum Association of Mountain States (IPAMS) initiated the concept of funding a Phase III regional oil and gas emission inventory project for the Intermountain West, in conjunction with the WRAP, to build on, improve, and address inventory issues in the WRAP Phase I and Phase II projects. The result from Phase III will include all criteria pollutant emissions for all point and area sources associated with the exploration, production, and gathering operations of oil and gas in the major basins throughout the six-state (CO, MT, NM, ND, UT, and WY) study region for year 2006 as well as future projection years. IPAMS and WRAP will coordinate the data collection and analysis, review and discussion, and inventory data file preparation for each major basin – draft/final documents will appear below as they are prepared, and records of conference calls will be included.

Sample Phase III Survey Spreadsheets (10/08) ZIP (3MB)
The Phase III project relies on detailed data on equipment, processes, activity, emissions factor and usage that are obtained from surveys to the major oil and gas companies.  Click on the link above to download an example set of surveys, for the San Juan South Basin in Northwestern New Mexico.  The surveys are in spreadsheet form and the link provides a compressed file containing all of the spreadsheet-based surveys.  These surveys ask for information on all of the major oil and gas area source categories, as well as information on oil and gas point sources such as compressor stations and gas processing plants.
