Q734. How does EPA define a "facility" for petroleum and natural gas systems?

...

For onshore production the emission sources are relatively disperse dispersed 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).
