Quantifying Methane Emissions from Oil Fields in the Central Valley of CA

In 2024, California was the eighth-largest producer of crude oil in the U.S. by volume with ∼50,000 active wells. Working with the California Energy Commission, we measured methane (CH4) emissions from 172 actively producing oil wells (219 total observations with 47 repeat measurements) either with or without casingh...
