California- Oil & Gas

摘要

Aliso Canyon-California DOC Issues Draft Underground Gas Storage Regulations The Aliso Canyon gas storage field is located in northern Los Angeles County, California. A well in the field began leaking in October 2015, and was not controlled until a relief well was drilled and intercepted the leaking wellbore about four months later. The leak was described as the largest methane leak in U.S. history, with estimates of 60 metric tons of methane per hour being released into the atmosphere-effectively doubling the methane emission rate of the entire Los Angeles basin-or a total of approximately 97,100 metric tons over the duration of the leak.
