Air Resources Board (ARB) staff has posted a draft report
summarizing the results from our 2007 Oil and Gas Industry
Survey, conducted in 2009, on our Oil and Natural Gas Production,
Processing, and Storage website.   It can be found at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/oil-gas/oil-gas.htm.  We are seeking
comments on the draft survey report  by September 2, 2011.  We
are especially interested in suggestions concerning how the data
could be better summarized or displayed.  If you have any
comments or questions, please contact Stephanie Lee at
sjlee@arb.ca.gov, or at (916) 324-8024.

The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32)
establishes a comprehensive program of regulatory and market
mechanisms to achieve real, cost-effective, quantifiable
reductions of greenhouse gases (GHG).  AB 32 charges the ARB as
the agency responsible for monitoring and regulating many GHG
emission sources to reduce California’s GHG emissions to 1990
levels by 2020.  Among the measures that the ARB staff is
considering to help reach this AB 32 goal is a measure to reduce
GHG emissions from crude oil and natural gas production,
processing, and storage operations.  In order for staff to
determine the potential GHG emission reductions, the technical
feasibility, and the cost-effectiveness of any potential control
measure, the ARB staff conducted a survey of the crude oil and
natural gas industry to improve estimates of GHG emissions in
California from these operations.  The draft results of this
survey are now available at the link above.
