مستخلص: Quantifying methane (CH 4 ) leaks of pipeline systems is critical to ensure accurate emission factors in regional and global atmospheric models. The previous emission factors in the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHGI) are from 1996 and do not reflect the modern gathering pipeline system. Additional data from different basins across the United States are urgently needed to improve the emission factors. The National Energy Technology Laboratory conducted a ground-based vehicle survey at Carson National Forest in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico, in September 2019. 187 km of natural gas gathering pipeline systems were surveyed. The mobile CH 4 survey system was efficient in identifying CH 4 plumes and pinpointing the leak sources. Gaussian dispersion modeling suggested our survey system had a minimum detection limit of 1.5 LPM. No leaks were found from the pipelines while a leak of 7.1 +/- 0.2 LPM was on a pig launcher door and another leak of 0.7 +/- 0.1 LPM on a block valve. Limited access to the gathering pipeline system prevented us from quantifying all potential leaks detected by the CH 4 sensors. The low leak frequency phenomenon was also observed in the sole existing study of natural gas gathering pipelines in the Fayetteville Shale.
