Part 3.3—Oil and natural gas—fugitive emissions

Division 3.3.1—Preliminary

3.41  Outline of Part
 (1) This Part provides for fugitive emissions from the following:
 (a) oil or gas exploration and development (see Division 3.3.2);
 (b) crude oil production (see Division 3.3.3);
 (c) crude oil transport (see Division 3.3.4);
 (d) crude oil refining (see Division 3.3.5);
 (e) onshore natural gas production, other than emissions that are vented or flared (see Division 3.3.6A);
 (f) offshore natural gas production, other than emissions that are vented or flared (see Division 3.3.6B);
 (g) natural gas gathering and boosting, other than emissions that are vented or flared (see Division 3.3.6C);
 (h) produced water from oil and gas exploration and development, crude oil production, natural gas production or natural gas gathering and boosting, other than emissions that are vented or flared (see Division 3.3.6D);
 (i) natural gas processing, other than emissions that are vented or flared (see Division 3.3.6E);
 (j) natural gas transmission, other than emissions that are flared (see Division 3.3.7);
 (k) natural gas storage, other than emissions that are vented or flared (see Division 3.3.7A);
 (l) natural gas liquefaction, storage and transfer, other than emissions that are vented or flared (see Division 3.3.7B);
 (m) natural gas distribution, other than emissions that are flared (see Division 3.3.8);
 (n) natural gas production (emissions that are vented or flared) (see Division 3.3.9A);
 (o) natural gas gathering and boosting (emissions that are vented or flared) (see Division 3.3.9B);
 (p) natural gas processing (emissions that are vented or flared) (see Division 3.3.9C);
 (q) natural gas transmission (emissions that are flared) (see Division 3.3.9D);
 (r) natural gas storage (emissions that are vented or flared) (see Division 3.3.9E);
 (s) natural gas liquefaction, storage or transfer (emissions that are vented or flared) (see Division 3.3.9F);
 (t) natural gas distribution (emissions that are flared) (see Division 3.3.9G).
 (2) The activities at a facility should be classified in accordance with the relevant definitions to apply the calculations in this Part to comprehensively cover the emissions from the facility, but not count the emissions more than once.

3.41A  Interpretation
 (1) Terms relating to the oil and gas industry in this Part are to be interpreted:
 (a) consistently with their accepted meaning in the oil and gas industry; and
 (b) where the term is relevant to methods in the API Compendium—taking into account the meaning and scope of the term in
