| Annotation: |
The article provides information on methane emission reduction options, developed by operators and promoted by the U.S. Natural Gas STAR Program, that are economic for small and midsize producers. The case studies describe 25 cost-effective methane emission reduction technologies and practices and provide costs savings data and production characteristics to help determine where each methane savings option is most likely to work. Options for reducing methane emissions from the small to midsize natural gas producer range from cost-effective methods to find and fix fugitive emissions to installation of new technologies that frequently pay back investments in less than a year. |
