Study identifies Bakken Formation alone as responsible for ~2% of global ethane emissions

APRIL 29, 2016

The Bakken Formation, a shale oil and gas field in North Dakota and Montana, is emitting roughly 2% (about 250,000 tons per year) of the globe’s ethane, according to new study led by researchers at the University of Michigan. Hydrocarbons react with NO x and sunlight to produce ozone. Ground-level ozone leads to poor air quality.

Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and stratospheric ozone destruction. The global warming potential of nitrous oxide is 300-fold greater than carbon dioxide; nitrous oxide accounts for some 6% of human-induced climate change, scientists estimate.
