3SAQS 2011 O&G Emissions • 2011 Oil and Gas Emissions for Three-State Basins have two sources: • State/EPA provided 2011 O&G Emissions • CO APEN; UT Major Source Permit; WY everything; EPA Tribal Major Source Permit (e.g., Uinta and SUIT) • Survey-based 2011 O&G emissions grown from 2008 WestJumpAQMS O&G emissions • Perform controls analysis between 2008 and 2011 for survey-based O&G emissions
3SAQS Phase I 2020 O&G Projections • State/EPA-Provided 2011 O&G emissions • Use historical growth in activity by source type • Grow 2011 O&G to 2020 based on changes in activity • No controls analysis • Insufficient information provided in state/EPA-provided O&G data to determine controls • Survey-based 2011 O&G emissions • Use historical growth in activity by source type • Grow 2011 O&G to 2020 based on changes in activity • Perform controls analysis based on new regulations on-the-books between 2011 and 2020
3SAQS Phase II 2020 O&G Projections • Selected following Phase II updates to 2011/2020 oil and gas emissions: • Incorporate EPA Minor Source Permit Data into 2011 and then 2020 O&G emissions • Add fracing engines in 2011 and 2020 O&G emissions based on literature (CO, UT and NM) • Original surveys (2006) did not include fracing • Update tank emissions using additional information • For example, Piceance basin • Still have $15K left in current 3SAQS O&G emissions budget for additional Phase II updates
Additional Phase II O&G Updates • Intermediate year O&G emissions between 2011 and 2020 ($13.5 K) • Midstream O&G emissions analysis • Memo on difficulty in calculating controls on Midstream O&G sources ($4K) • Other? ($TBD) • 2020 Controls analysis on State/EPA-provided O&G emissions ($TBD) • State and EPA emissions experts provide us with specific controls to apply on the grown 2020 sources that they provided 2011 O&G emissions for
Additional CAMx Modeling • $30-40k left for additional sensitivity modeling • Ideas • O&G diagnostic modeling • Ozone source apportionment tagging O&G sub-sectors • Engines, fugitives, tanks, heaters/dehydrators… • Controllable vs. un-controllable sources • Up-stream vs mid-stream • Others? • DDM modeling to evaluate the sensitivity of regional ozone to changes in different O&G sub-sectors • Others? • Brute force anthropogenic NOx or VOC perturbations • Others?
