Reconciliation is the process of comparing source-level (Level 4) inventories with independent site-level measurements to produce Level 5 asset emissions estimates.

View

OGMP 2.0 Liquids Unloading TGD

In natural gas production wells, initial gas flow velocity is usually sufficient to entrain produced liquids as droplets and carry them up the well tubing and to a gas/liquid separator.

View

OGMP 2.0 General Principles TGD

This document presents general principles which apply to all Technical Guidance Documents (TGDs), unless stated otherwise in the TGDs.

View

OGMP 2.0 Incidents, emergency stops and malfunctions TGD

Incidents and emergency stops are unintended and unplanned events/venting which are not part of routine operations.

OGMP 2.0 Purging and Venting TGD

Venting is the intentional release of gas (or methane-containing vapors) to the atmosphere, typically required by the design, operation, construction and commissioning, or maintenance of the equipment.

View

OGMP 2.0 Oil Well Casinghead TGD

Casinghead gas is gas that evolves off of crude oil when it flows into a lower pressure through well casing perforations and collects in the annular space between the casing and tubing in an oil well.

View

OGMP 2.0 Gas Well Hydraulic Fracturing TGD

After initial drilling, all wells must undergo well completion to flush out drilling fluids and cuttings before commencing production.
