Regardless of the outcome of this November's election, the reduction of carbon and methane emissions is set to significantly reshape the operations of onshore well site facilities for the foreseeable future. Facility strategists and engineers must navigate rapidly evolving regulations at both federal and state levels, particularly in Texas, New Mexico, Montana, and North Dakota. Last year, there was much speculation about these regulations. In 2024, the regulations are clearer, though operators still need guidance on interpreting the new emission source categories and calculations. Precise guidance is essential, as the nuances often differ from the legislative vision.
Key areas of focus include changes in emission source categories and calculations:
- Revisions to flaring and methane calculations, requiring the installation of equipment to prove flare efficiency (a 300% change)
- Pneumatic devices now require a specific type of leak detection and repair at well sites
- Three additional source categories and calculations for compressors, altering the emission factor by 2000%
- The commencement of the Super Emitter Program, where operators may be reported for exceeding limits through aerial surveillance and drones
How To Interpret The Key Regs, Select Technology & Execute - Considering COST
