Q735. Why did EPA require that facilities conducting onshore petroleum and natural gas production report by basin?
{longname}

A735.

...

When

...

the

...

GHGRP

...

requirements

...

for

...

onshore

...

petroleum

...

and

...

natural

...

gas

...

production

...

were

...

proposed,

...

EPA’s goal

...

was

...

to

...

provide

...

a

...

facility

...

definition

...

that

...

all

...

producers

...

could

...

directly

...

apply,

...

and

...

that

...

would

...

be

...

both

...

practical

...

and

...

cost-effective.

...

EPA

...

sought

...

public

...

comment

...

on

...

a

...

range

...

of

...

possible

...

options

...

for

...

defining

...

the

...

facility

...

that

...

would

...

report

...

with

...

respect

...

to

...

onshore

...

petroleum

...

and

...

natural

...

gas

...

production,

...

ranging

...

from

...

defining

...

the

...

facility

...

at

...

the

...

individual

...

well

...

pad,

...

to

...

defining

...

the

...

facility

...

at

...

the

...

field-level,

...

to

...

defining

...

the

...

facility

...

at

...

the

...

basin-level.

...

Taking

...

into

...

account

...

public

...

comment,

...

EPA

...

finalized

...

the

...

definition

...

of

...

facility

...

with

...

respect

...

to

...

onshore

...

petroleum

...

and

...

natural

...

gas

...

production

...

using

...

a

...

basin-level

...

approach

...

because

...

the

...

operational

...

boundaries

...

and

...

basin

...

demarcations

...

are

...

clearly

...

defined

...

and

...

are

...

widely

...

known,

...

and

...

the

...

approach covered most emissions from onshore petroleum and natural gas production.
