  • Aircraft Data (2020) for Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses (F3UEL)

    work
    Creator:
    Kort, Eric A., Plant, Genevieve, Smith, Mackenzie L., Brandt, Adam R., Chen, Yuanlei, Gorchov Negron, Alan M., Schwietzke, Stefan, and Zavala-Araiza, Daniel
    Description:
    As part of the Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses (F3UEL) project, in 2020 the aircraft measurement platform sampled offshore oil & gas facilities in the Gulf of Mexico to quantify facility-level emissions using the approach detailed in Conley et al. (2017). Onshore, the aircraft sampled downwind of flare combustion plumes in the Permian and Eagle Ford regions of Texas. Vertical profiles were conducted on each flight to capture the vertical structure and mixing depths of the atmosphere. The data file contains all merged flight data from each flight day. and Reference: Conley, S., Faloona, I., Mehrotra, S., Suard, M., Lenschow, D.

    Description:
    As part of the Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses (F3UEL) project, in 2021 the aircraft measurement platform sampled offshore oil & gas facilities in Alaska and California to quantify facility-level emissions using the approach detailed in Conley et al. (2017). Onshore, the aircraft sampled downwind of flare combustion plumes in the Bakken region of North Dakota. Vertical profiles were conducted on each flight to capture the vertical structure and mixing depths of the atmosphere. The data file contains all merged flight data from each flight day. and Reference: Conley, S., Faloona, I., Mehrotra, S., Suard, M., Lenschow, D.

  • F3UEL: flare methane destruction removal efficiencies

    work
    Creator:
    Kort, Eric A., Plant, Genevieve, Brandt, Adam R., Chen, Yuanlei, Fordice, Graham, Gorchov Negron, Alan M., Schwietzke, Stefan, Smith, Mackenzie, and Zavala-Araiza, Daniel
    Description:
    As part of the Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses (F3UEL) project, the aircraft measurement platform sampled downwind of flares in the Permian and Eagle Ford regions of Texas (2020) and the Bakken in North Dakota (2021). Estimates of methane destruction removal efficiency are calculated for each airborne intercept of a flare combustion plume based on the observed enhancements of carbon dioxide and methane, along with assumptions about the flare gas composition. Locations provided are the GPS coordinates for the aircraft sampling, not of the upwind flare infrastructure on the ground. Attempts to link the airborne sampling locations to ground infrastructure using the provided wind information (measured at the aircraft), should take care to account for complexities of transport in the atmosphere.
