Producing, transporting, and refining crude oil into fuels such as gasoline and diesel accounts for ∼15 to 40% of the “well-to-wheels” life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of transport fuels (1). . . Yet, while regulations are beginning to address petroleum sector GHG emissions (3-5), and private investors are beginning to consider climate-related risk in oil investments (6), such efforts have generally struggled with methodological and data challenges. global production with uneven geographical coverage). . The ADS is operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory under NASA Cooperative Altmetric Badge. But these emissions vary significantly with source and type of crude and production methods. These carbon intensity values are based on oil field data from the year 2015. See SM 3 for exploration of the dif - ferences between our analyses. Second, there is a lack of comprehensive geographically rich datasets that would allow evaluation and monitoring of life-cycle emissions from oils. Astrophysical Observatory. . In December 2018, the OPEC and Russia agreed to jointly reduce crude oil production to put a downward pressure on oil prices and limit the global glut. Producing, transporting, and refining crude oil into fuels such as gasoline and diesel accounts for ∼15 to 40% of the “well-to-wheels” life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of transport fuels (1). Overview of attention for article published in Science, August 2018. Emissions in Fig. Emissions shown in the first figure can vary substantially over time (9), but time-series data are generally missing on a global basis and so are not explored here. . Data from Yeh et al [6]. Producing, transporting, and refining crude oil into fuels such as gasoline and diesel accounts for ∼15 to 40% of the “well-to-wheels” life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of transport fuels (1). For the highest intensity crudes, extraction-to-refining constitutes around 40% of the overall carbon footprint, about 50 grams CO 2 per megajoule. Global carbon intensity of crude oil production. (or is it just me...), Smithsonian Privacy . Mohammad S. Masnadi,1 Kourosh Vafi,1,? See SM 3 for exploration of the dif-ferences between our analyses. Better understanding of crude oil GHG emissions can help to quantify the benefits of alternative fuels and identify the most cost-effective opportunities for oil-sector emissions reductions (2). Producing, transporting, and refining crude oil into fuels such as gasoline and diesel accounts for ∼15 to 40% of the “well-to-wheels” life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of transport fuels ([ 1 ][1]). El-Houjeiri, H.M., A.R. . 5 California Department of Conservation, 2018 Report of California Oil and Gas Production Statistics. Agreement NNX16AC86A, Is ADS down? Carbon Intensity of Crude Oil in Europe 1 the International Energy agency (IEa) predicts that global consumption of crude oil will increase 27% over the next two decades, from 83 million barrels per day (mmbbl/d) in 2009 to 105 mmbbl/d in 2030 (IEa, 2009). . .48 Oil Production Greenhouse Gas Emissions Estimator OPGEE v2.0b User guide & Technical documentation Hassan M. El-Houjeiri,1,? We have previously worked to address the first challenge by developing open-source oil-sector CI modeling tools [OPGEE (7, 8), supplementary materials (SM) 1.1]. Tacoma, WA, September 27th 2012. .47 4.6 Land use GHG emissions for 150 year analysis period from field drilling and development in OPGEE for conventional oil operations [g CO 2 eq./MJ of crude oil produced]. On average, oil production emitted of 10.3 grams of emissions for every megajoule of crude, but nations with the most carbon-intensive practices cranked out emissions at nearly twice that rate. Data from Yeh et al [6]. Global carbon intensity of crude oil production Journal article, 2018 Producing, transporting, and refining crude oil into fuels such as gasoline and diesel accounts for ∼15 to 40% of the “well-to-wheels” life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of transport fuels (1). Global carbon intensity of crude oil production Published in: Science, August 2018 DOI: 10.1126/science.aar6859: Pubmed ID: American Center for Life Cycle Assessment (ACLCA) LCA XII Conference. 1 can vary substantially over time (9), but time-series data are gen-erally missing on a global basis and so are not explored here. Reducing emissions from petroleum production is of particular importance, as current transport fleets are almost entirely dependent on liquid petroleum products, and many uses of petroleum have limited prospects for near-term substitution (e.g., air travel). and development in OPGEE for conventional oil operations [g CO 2 eq./MJ of crude oil produced].
