米国ヘインズビル乾ガス盆地において、LiDARデータを用いた測定ベースのメタン排出インベントリと強度推定を実施。年間総排出量760Gg、強度0.79%と推定したが、方法論の選択により結果が2倍以上変動することを示した。
English
Using Bridger Photonics LiDAR data, this study estimates annual methane emissions (760 Gg) and intensity (0.79%) for the Haynesville dry-gas basin. It highlights that methodological choices can alter intensity estimates by more than a factor of two, stressing the need for standardized approaches.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Methane intensity, the emissions relative to production, has been a focus in global regulations on oil and gas production and imports, given the climate benefits of methane emission reductions. Methodological frameworks to create annual measurement-based emissions inventory estimates and calculate methane intensity using snapshot measurements have been developed. However, there are still multiple decision points within these frameworks whose impact may be underappreciated. These include uncertainty in the underlying facility population and associated production in purview. In this work, we discuss the development of a comprehensive measurement-based inventory for the dry gas Haynesville Basin located in the U.S. States of Texas and Louisiana using Bridger Photonics LiDAR data. From a measurement dataset covering 8% of all facilities, we estimate annual basin total methane emissions of 760 [610, 940] Gg/year and a methane intensity of 0.79% [0.63%, 0.98%] (95% confidence intervals), in agreement with previous measurement-based studies in the region. We then show that different methodological choices can result in a difference of more than a factor of two in the estimated methane intensity for the subset of choices considered in this work. As such, this work demonstrates the importance of considering all aspects of the methodology to produce comparable methane intensity estimates.
