Our instruments are designed to capture the whole story, instead of only focusing on superemitters.

These **early observations** show comprehensive methane emissions data from select oil and gas producing areas in the US and globally.

MethaneAIR has the unique ability to quantify **rate** of emissions both as **point source emissions** and **area emissions**.

Methane emissions contributing to regional totals, source is unknown.

Also find **oil & gas infrastructure** on the map.

Emissions Data

Measurement details

Observations over time

These emissions are mapped onto a {{sideLength}} km x {{sideLength}} km grid covering a wide area, instead of to distinct points. They make up a significant component of methane emissions in an oil and gas basin.

* Emissions from distinct point sources are excluded from dispersed source emissions.
* This quantification accounts for factors such as wind and other meteorological conditions at the time of collection.

More about how dispersed emissions are [detected and calculated]({{link}}).

Distinct point sources are the origin points of plumes that stand out from dispersed source emissions

* MethaneSAT pinpoints the emissions' origin to a specific latitude and longitude. Uncertainty assessment for distinct point sources is in development.
* This quantification accounts for factors such as wind and other meteorological conditions at the time of data collection.
