Executive Summary
Uncontrolled oil production storage tanks are important but poorly understood sources of methane emissions in the upstream oil and gas sector. This study reports and analyzes directly-measured, temporally-varying, methane emission rates, total gas vent rates, and vent gas methane fractions from storage tanks at eight active upstream oil production sites in Alberta, Canada.
