Researchers Map Large, Intermittent Methane Emission Sources in the Permian Basin Written by AZoCleantechJun 3 2021 The Permian Basin is situated in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico. It is one of the major oil- and gas-producing areas in the United States. Researchers have mapped large, intermittent sources of methane emissions (shown flaring here) across the Permian Basin.

In this region, methane is discharged by oilfield operations, but measuring this greenhouse gas is a hard process due to the vast area and the fact that several sources are intermittent emitters. At present, scientists have performed a comprehensive airborne campaign with imaging spectrometers and huge methane sources throughout this area. The results have been reported in the
