{longname} Q734. How does EPA define a "facility" for petroleum and natural gas systems? {longname} |
A734.
...
The
...
definition
...
of
...
facility
...
depends
...
on
...
each
...
segment
...
and
...
the
...
proximity
...
of
...
emission
...
sources
...
to
...
one
...
another.
...
Generally
...
under
...
the
...
GHGRP
...
a
...
facility
...
is
...
all
...
co-located
...
emission
...
sources
...
that
...
are
...
commonly
...
owned
...
or
...
operated
...
(see
...
the
...
definition
...
of
...
“facility” in
...
40
...
CFR
...
98.6
...
for
...
more
...
details).
...
For
...
natural
...
gas
...
distribution,
...
the
...
“facility” is
...
a
...
local
...
distribution
...
company
...
as
...
regulated
...
by
...
a
...
single
...
state
...
public
...
utility
...
commission.
...
For
...
onshore
...
production
...
the
...
emission
...
sources
...
are
...
relatively
...
disperse
...
and
...
so
...
facility
...
definition
...
is
...
delineated
...
by
...
basin.
...
For
...
the
...
onshore
...
production
...
segment,
...
the
...
“facility” includes
...
all
...
emissions
...
associated
...
with
...
wells
...
owned
...
or
...
operated
...
by
...
a
...
single
...
company
...
in
...
a
...
specific
...
hydrocarbon
...
producing
...
basin.
...
A
...
basin
...
refers
...
to
...
a
...
geologic
...
region
...
where
...
sediment
...
infilling
...
has
...
occurred.
...
Hydrocarbons
...
often
...
are
...
trapped
...
within
...
the
...
basin
...
boundaries
...
and
...
as
...
a
...
result
...
basins
...
are
...
a
...
useful
...
means
...
for
...
identifying
...
areas
...
of
...
hydrocarbon
...
production.
...
The
...
GHG
...
Reporting
...
Program
...
definition
...
of
...
basin
...
refers
...
to
...
the
...
geologic
...
provinces
...
as
...
published
...
by
...
the
...
American
...
Association
...
of
...
Petroleum
...
Geologists
...
(AAPG).
