Methane Emissions from Marginal Conventional Well Sites in Colorado | METEC | Colorado State University Methane Emissions from Marginal Conventional Well Sites in Colorado Benjamin Aboagye 1 , Timothy Vaughn 2 1 Systems Engineering Department, 2 CSU Energy Institute Marginal wells (wells that produce ≤15 barrels of oil per day or ≤90,000 cubic feet of natural gas per day) can emit disproportionately high methane levels compared to their production[1],[2].
The Colorado Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP) grant aims to provide federal funding to help well owners and operators detect and eliminate methane emissions from low-producing marginal wells by supporting their voluntary plugging and site reclamation. The objectives of this study are to: Select and survey a sample of marginal, conventional wells throughout the state.
Identify and measure methane emission sources observed on wellheads and other equipment at visited locations. Understand factors that cause increased methane emissions for future prioritization efforts. Figure 1: Map of the 46 study sites visited, with point colors representing different operators or owners (left) and a wellhead screening with an OGI camera (right).
Across all sites, 117 wellheads, 95 separators, 127 tanks, and 18 enclosed combustion devices were examined. Both the OGI camera and trace gas analyzers in a mobile lab were used together to detect and verify methane emission sources.
Equipment Emission Results Comparison with Prior Study Table 1: Bowers’ Colorado emission summary for separators, tanks, and wellheads Equipment Screened Emission Source Count Measured Source Count Emission Rate (slpm) Table 2: This study’s Colorado emission summary for separators, tanks, and wellheads Equipment Screened Emission Source Count Measured Source Count Emission Rate (slpm) Separators were the most common source of emissions (51 sources out of 95 screened), while wellheads were the least common source (1 source out of 117 screened).
Only one emission source was identified on separators with controls, whereas 50 emission sources were observed on emissions without controls. Emissions were found on 10% of controlled tanks (tanks equipped with ECDs) compared to 35% of uncontrolled tanks. Regression analysis showed moderate correlations for well count and equipment count with methane emissions.
Weak correlations were observed between methane emissions and oil production, gas production, and well age. Acknowledgements and Contact Information We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission for funding this project. We would also like to thank Weston Solutions for coordinating the program and engaging operators for their participation, which made this work possible.

Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities (PARC) Grant Program is a grant from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs that funds the acquisition and development of public parkland and outdoor recreational facilities. Eligible applicants include Massachusetts cities of any size and towns with 35,000 or more year-round residents that have an established park or recreation commission and an approved Open Space and Recreation Plan. Smaller communities may qualify under small town, regional, or statewide provisions. Awards reach up to $425,000, with a deadline of July 8, 2025. The program supports community green space, conservation, and recreational access across the Commonwealth.
Bats for the Future Fund is a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, that funds efforts to slow or halt the spread of white-nose syndrome (WNS) disease and support the recovery of affected bat populations in North America. Funded projects may address disease treatment, habitat conservation, population monitoring, or public education strategies that contribute to bat species survival. Additional support is provided by NextEra Energy Resources through its charitable foundation. Eligible applicants include researchers, nonprofits, universities, and government agencies with relevant conservation expertise. Awards range from $50,000 to $250,000, with the 2025 deadline on August 14, 2025.
Northern California Environmental Grassroots Fund is a grant from Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment that funds small and emerging grassroots organizations in California building climate resilience and advancing environmental justice. The fund prioritizes groups rooted in historically marginalized communities, including BIPOC, frontline, and low-income populations, with strong advocacy, organizing, and outreach components. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations or fiscally-sponsored groups with annual income or expenses of $150,000 or less; government agencies, colleges, and universities are not eligible. Awards typically range from $4,000 to $7,500, with a maximum of $7,500.
On June 8, HHS and GSA launched a new Grants Management Special Item Number — SIN 518210GM — creating a government-wide buying lane for modern, standards-compliant grants software tied to more than $1.2 trillion in annual awards. It reads like procurement plumbing. For grantees, govtech vendors, and the future of grant data interoperability, it is anything but.
Read articleThe FY2026 federal funding map has tilted hard toward AI, critical minerals, energy, advanced manufacturing, and workforce development — while a new layer of political review asks whether each award advances administration priorities. Here is a strategic map of where the money is moving, and how to position a proposal for the new alignment screen without distorting the work.
Read articleOn June 8, HHS and GSA established a new Multiple Award Schedule Special Item Number for grants management technology — the first government-wide procurement vehicle for modern grants software. The SIN covers four functional subgroups, sits under Executive Order 14332, and ties to the $1.2 trillion in annual federal grant awards now flowing through 29 agencies. Here is what the move signals for grantees, grants management vendors, and the long arc of federal grants modernization.
