API 4589 – Fugitive Hydrocarbon Emissions from Oil and Gas Production Operations

The emissions factors derived in this report indicate that fugitive emissions from production facilities are considerably lower than they were in the late 1970s. Investigators use portable detectors to screen more than 180,000 components of 20 offshore and onshore facilities. Mass emission rates from “bagged” emitters, valves, connectors, and other components, such as seals and vents, are used to develop emission factors for individual components and groups of components. A workbook included in the report provide site operators with three different options to calculate emissions from their facilities. See also Publ 4615
