1 Scope
This document provides a method to calculate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during
natural gas production (onshore or offshore), gas processing and gas transport to
liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction plant.
NOTE It can be applied to other gases as biogas or non-traditional types of natural gas.
This document covers all facilities associated with producing natural gas, including:
drilling (exploration, appraisal, and development) and production wells;
gas gathering network and boosting stations (if any);
gas processing facilities (if any), transport gas pipelines with compression stations
(if any) up to inlet valve of LNG liquefaction plant.
This document covers facilities associated with producing other products (such as,
but not limited to, domestic gas, condensate, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), sulphur,
power export) to the extent required to allocate GHG emissions to each product.
This document covers the upstream facilities “under operation”, including emissions
associated with commissioning, initial start-up and restarts after maintenance or
upset. This document does not cover the exploration, construction and decommissioning
phases...
