EMISSION INVENTORY SOURCE CATEGORY

METHOD SUMMARY

These categories include the TOG emissions for 1987 associated with steam drive wells and cyclic wells located in Kern County. In oil production fields, steam is injected in two ways: (1) continuously through an injection well (steam drive) and (2) periodically into the oil production well itself (cyclic injection).

ACTIVITY DATA SOURCE: Both steam drive and cyclic wells were surveyed by the ARB in 1985 and grown to 1987. These sources of emissions are only found in Kern County (San Joaquin Valley air basin).

EMISSION FACTOR SOURCE: The emission factors are from an ARB report, "A Suggested Control Measure for Emissions of Photochemically Reactive Organic Compounds from Vents of Steam Drive Oil Production Wells" (January 1982), and a report by KVB, Inc., "Emission Characteristics of Crude Oil Production Operations in California" (January 1983).

TEMPORAL DATA:

The annual, weekly, and daily activities are uniform throughout the year, seven days a week, and twenty-four hours a day.

DATE OF THE LAST UPDATE: June 1990

GROWTH PARAMETER:

Dollar output for oil and gas extraction (SIC 13). (SJVUAPCD parameter is based on barrels of oil.)
