The California Air Resources Board (ARB) staff has posted a
document,  “Pending Memoranda of Agreement with Air Districts: 
Goals and Process”, that is related to, but not part of the
formal regulatory record for, ARB’s proposed “Greenhouse Gas
Emission Standards for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities”
regulation. 

This document is located at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/oil-gas/oil-gas.htm.  Informal feedback
on the this document may be sent to OilandGas@arb.ca.gov .
Feedback will be most helpful if received by February 21, 2017.

Background:
The proposed regulation covers greenhouse gas emissions,
predominately methane, from oil and natural gas production,
processing, and storage, natural gas gathering and boosting
stations, as well as from natural gas underground storage and
transmission compressor stations (collectively “oil and gas”). 
It addresses both vented (intentional) and fugitive
(unintentional) releases of greenhouse gases by processes at
facilities in these sectors.  The proposed regulation establishes
emission standards for active and idle equipment and components
at these facilities.  Depending on the equipment or component,
control mechanisms include vapor recovery, leak detection and
repair, and equipment replacement.  Additionally, the proposed
regulation includes monitoring at underground natural gas storage
facilities for the early detection of large leaks or well
failures.
