Examining the Impacts of Methane Leakage on Life-Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Shale and Conventional Natural Gas
conjunction with horizontal drilling. However, the environmental implications of NG production and its use have been called into question.1-4 One of the major concerns is the amount methane (CH4) leakage from production activities and its impact on the life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of NG. Examining the Impacts of Methane Leakage on Life-Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Shale and Co...
متن کاملCoal to gas: the influence of methane leakage
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion may be reduced by using natural gas rather than coal to produce energy. Gas produces approximately half the amount of CO2 per unit of primary energy compared with coal. Here we consider a scenario where a fraction of coal usage is replaced by natural gas (i.e., methane, CH4) over a given time period, and where a percentage of the gas pr...
متن کاملA Crossplot for Mud Logging Interpretation of Unconventional Gas Shale Reservoirs and its Application
The drilling time data of gas logging are used to calculate drilling time ratio of the reservoir, and the total hydrocarbon data are used to calculate hydrocarbon contrast coefficient and to establish the drilling time ratio--hydrocarbon contrast coefficient crossplot. The standards of distinguishing the boundaries of hydrocarbon zones, hydrocarbonaceous water layers and dry layers are determin...
متن کاملPrevention and Detection of Leakage 785 TECHNIQUES FOR PREVENTION AND DETECTION OF LEAKAGE IN DAMS AND RESERVOIRS
Leakage is a major safety issue that, if left unchecked, may result in dam failure by various mechanisms. There is enormous pressure on dam operators to repair leaks without significant delays. Frequently, the need to reduce the risk of failure or control water loss has led to costly remedial repairs that are planned and executed without a complete understanding of the problem. A lack of approp...
متن کاملGreater focus needed on methane leakage from natural gas infrastructure.
Natural gas is seen by many as the future of American energy: a fuel that can provide energy independence and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the process. However, there has also been confusion about the climate implications of increased use of natural gas for electric power and transportation. We propose and illustrate the use of technology warming potentials as a robust and transparent way...
