On March 28, 2014 the Obama Administration released a key element
called for in the President's Climate Action Plan: a Strategy to
Reduce Methane Emissions. The strategy summarizes the sources of
methane emissions, commits to new steps to cut emissions of this
potent greenhouse gas, and outlines the Administration's efforts to
improve the measurement of these emissions. The strategy builds on
progress to date and takes steps to further cut methane emissions
from several sectors, including the oil and natural gas sector.
This technical white paper is one of those steps. The paper, along
with four others, focuses on potentially significant sources of
methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the oil and gas
sector, covering emissions and mitigation techniques for both
pollutants. The Agency is seeking input from independent experts,
along with data and technical information from the public. The EPA
will use these technical documents to solidify our understanding of
these potentially significant sources, which will allow us to fully
evaluate the range of options for cost-effectively cutting VOC and
methane waste and emissions.
