Simulated Methane Emission Detection Capabilities of Continuous Monitoring Networks in an Oil and Gas Production Region

Simulations of the atmospheric dispersion of methane emissions were created for a region containing 26 oil and gas production sites in the Permian Basin in Texas. Virtual methane sensors were placed at 24 of the 26 sites, with at most 1 sensor per site. Continuous and intermittent emissions from eac...
