Where the methane is – insights from novel airborne LiDAR measurements combined with ground survey data

Two engineers working on an oil field

This study combines airborne LiDAR measurements, parallel controlled releases, and on-site optical gas imaging (OGI) survey and pneumatic device count data to derive a new measurement-based methane inventory for oil and gas facilities in British Columbia, Canada. Results reveal a surprising distinction between the higher magnitudes, different types, and smaller number of sources seen by the plane and OGI.
