O&G Emissions Inventory Project: Greater San Juan and Permian Basin

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) New Mexico Office sponsored development of an oil and gas (O&G) emissions inventory for the Greater San Juan Bain in Colorado and New Mexico, and for the Permian Basin in New Mexico and Texas. The WRAP, with expert contractor assistance, is building the inventory using the PhaseIII methodology employed in large active basins in the intermountain West. The result is an accurate, comprehensive criteria pollutant inventory of actual emissions for most major point and area sources associated with exploration and production of O&G in the Basin for a 2014 base year, as well as for the mid-term projection year of 2015. One benefit of the project is development of a more accurate regional O&G emission inventory data based on input from knowledgeable sources. The project also contributes to regional air quality modeling efforts and streamlines future National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews by reducing the need for project-specific modeling.
