May to July 2022 measurements of methane screening (ppm) and methane emission rates (mg/h) collected from non-producing oil and gas wells in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The dataset also includes average daily wind speed and maximum wind gust speed. It was authored by Bianca Lamarche and hosted on the Borealis Harvested Dataverse.
Use Cases
- Estimate total methane flux from inactive wells based on emission rate measurements.
- Model the dispersion of methane plumes using the provided wind speed and gust data.
- Correlate methane screening concentrations with calculated emission rates to identify measurement relationships.
- Assess regional methane emissions from the oil and gas sector in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Strengths
- Specific temporal coverage from May to July 2022.
- Includes both methane concentration (ppm) and emission rate (mg/h) measurements.
- Contains complementary environmental data in the form of average and maximum wind speeds.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
