Q606. Does 98.233(q), "Leak detection and leaker emission factors," apply to wellheads, separators at well site, storage tanks and other equipment defined by "production equipment"?

 

A606. Onshore production reporters do not need to perform leak detection under §98.233(q) for equipment leaks. For an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility, equipment leaks are calculated with the methodology in §98.233(r), using population count and population emissions factors.
