Observed methane emissions can be categorized into identifiable causes, with 53% linked to specific mechanisms.
Abnormal tank emissions are common, yet unloading events yield the highest emission rates during operations.
Analysis combines aerial surveys with cause analysis to uncover patterns in methane emissions, informing mitigation efforts.
Adaptive strategies are crucial, as significant variability in emission causes occurs across operators and quarters.
