<p>Thanks for the responses. I hope that everyone with a stake in Louisiana natural gas production can get behind a state program that monitors emissions and includes regulations that require quick responses to all significant emissions. The debate needs to start now and include all stakeholders. The industry needs to cooperate.</p>

<p>Volume is calculated off of "apparent tons per hour" cited in the OP. If the emissions are anywhere near that rate, it's more than a incidental methane release from a cow pasture. At ESA's estimated rate, it has to be a larger gathering or a transportation source. At constant rate that would approach 50mmcfd, 1.5 BCF/mo. Somebody's going to miss that.</p>

If a satellite monitored the whole state, we would likely be aghast at the waste and mineral lessors would be up in arms. The state needs its on own monitoring system and regulations that require permanent onsite monitors for every part of the supply chain that is a point where methane can leak. And speaking of wasting natural resources, that is job number one for the Department of Natural Resources/Office of Conservation. To conserve is to save.</p>

<p>Getting a grip on fugitive emissions is definitely a good thing all the way around. You can't sell it if your just chunking it overboard.</p>

<p>I'm unsure there is any specific volume details at this time. Hopefully an investigation will provide the answers. The import for me is that methane monitoring is improving and making it plain that emissions have been drastically under estimated.

<p>I'm unsure there is any specific volume details at this time. Hopefully an investigation will provide the answers. The import for me is that methane monitoring is improving and making it plain that emissions have been drastically under estimated. For natural gas to be the blue bridge to a greener energy future that we all envisioned in the early years of the Haynesville Play, the industry has to get a handle on emissions. Its a no brainer to save the molecules for beneficialr use than to have them contribute to climate changes that threaten our state and the world. Louisiana needs natural gas and the associated jobs and the best way to ensure both for the future is to get serious about monitoring emissions and requiring companies that they be addressed. Doing so is not anti-industry, it is pro-industry. And common sense.</p>

<p>if the rate is accurate, one would think it would t be difficult to track a flow ~2100 mmcf/hr. (Normalized to 14.7# @ 60°F and using 0.042 lb/cf)</p>
