Sentences with phrase «leakage rates well»

This is just the latest peer - reviewed study finding methane leakage rates well below the threshold for natural gas to maintain its climate benefits over other traditional fuel alternatives.

Not exact matches

Methane leakage rates can and probably will be lowered substantially in the future.One study found that 70 percent of total leakage from 250 wells in Fort Worth, Texas, was occurring at only 10 percent of the wells, suggesting significant potential for low - cost, high - impact intervention.

Why not investigate or opine on the troubling science featured in the film that the gas industry itself conducted, which points to huge and unpreventable rates of well leakage?

As a proportion of the total oil and gas produced at these fields, this represents a leakage rate of about 10 % for both fields, in good agreement with previous estimates for several other leaky formations around the United States.

UT's sampling of well sites estimates the national leakage rate associated with the production phase of natural gas extraction to be equivalent to less than half of one percent of total natural gas produced.

Multiple studies have indicated that natural gas is no better for the climate than coal when you consider the high rates of methane leakage in natural gas production and transport.

Although the study's estimated leakage rate for production operations was in line with EPA's estimate, several processes leaked more than previously thought, while another (well completions) emitted much less due to the effectiveness of recent EPA rules.

Recent standards from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will substantially reduce leakage from natural gas systems, but to help slow the rate of global warming and improve air quality, further action by states and EPA should directly address fugitive methane from new and existing wells and equipment.

Some of the research found lower rates of leakage — though the lowest estimates tended to come from estimates provided by industry, or from examinations of the best - performing wells.

As a comparison, 3 m ³ / hr / m ² is the best air leakage rate being proposed for dwellings in current consultations for changes to the Building Regulations, and this value is only proposed for 20013 / 14 in England & Wales.
