Daniel Cusworth, 2020, "Multi-satellite imaging of a gas well blowout enables quantification of total methane emissions", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.OBDCU4, Geophysical Research Letters, JPL Open Repository
Incidents involving loss of control of oil/gas wells can result in large but variable emissions whose impact on the global methane budget is currently unknown. On November 1, 2019, a gas well blowout was reported in the Eagle Ford Shale. By combining satellite observations at dif... |
