section.
(b) For offshore petroleum

the production facility using methods found in subpart C of 40 CFR Part
98.

caps); and
(17) The operator must
use the methods in section
95153(y) and

gas production facility as defined in section
95150. Stationary or portable
equipment includes equipment which is integral to the extraction, processing,
and movement of oil and/or natural gas; such as well pad construction

open ended lines, pressure relief valves, and meters.
(e) For onshore natural gas transmission
compression, the operator must report CO2,
CH4, and N2O emissions from the
following sources:
(1) Metered natural gas
pneumatic device and pump venting;
(2) Non-metered natural gas pneumatic device
venting;
(3) Equipment and pipeline
blowdowns;
(4) Transmission storage

(8) Equipment leaks from valves, connectors,
open ended lines, pressure relief valves, and meters.
(f) For underground natural gas storage, the
operator must report CO2, CH4,
and N2O from the following sources:
(1) Metered natural gas pneumatic device and
pump venting;
(2) Non-metered
natural gas pneumatic device venting;
(3) Equipment and pipeline
blowdowns;
(4) Flare stack or other
destruction device emissions;
(5)
Centrifugal compressor venting;
(6)
Reciprocating compressor venting; and
(7) Equipment leaks from valves, connectors,
open ended lines, pressure relief valves, and meters.
(g) For LNG storage, the operator must report
CO2, CH4, and
N2O emissions from the following sources:
(1) Equipment and pipeline
blowdowns;
(2) Flare stack or other
destruction device emissions;
(3)
Centrifugal compressor venting;
(4)
Reciprocating compressor venting; and
(5) Equipment leaks from valves, pump seals,

metering-regulating stations that are not above grade transmission-distribution
transfer stations;
(4) Equipment
leaks at below grade metering-regulating stations.
(5) Distribution main equipment
leaks;
(6) Distribution services
equipment leaks;
(7) Report under
