Gathering Pipelines: Methane Emissions in the Permian Basin

Few studies have attempted to specifically characterize emissions from natural gas gathering pipelines, which tend to be more difficult to monitor on the ground than other forms of oil and gas infrastructure. In this study, Carbon Mapper and co-researchers use methane emission measurements collected from four recent aerial campaigns in the Permian Basin.
