water stream entering the separator during the year (WP) is less than 345 kilopascals and:
 (i) the average salinity content of the water is less than or equal to 20,000 milligrams per litre during the year—0.8707 tonnes of CO2‑e tonnes per megalitre of produced water associated with the relevant activity; or
 (ii) the average salinity content of the water is less than or equal to 100,000 milligrams per litre and greater than or equal to 20,000 milligrams per litre during the year—0.7439 tonnes of CO2‑e tonnes per megalitre of produced water associated with the relevant activity; or
 (iii) the average salinity content of the water is greater than 100,000 milligrams per litre during the year—0.3212 tonnes of CO2‑e tonnes per megalitre of produced water associated with the relevant activity; or
 (b) if the average pressure for a water stream entering the separator during the year (WP) is equal to or greater than 345 kilopascals—is calculated under subsection (3); and
 (3) For paragraph (2)(b):
 (a) if the average salinity content of the water is less than or equal to 20,000 milligrams per litre during the year—EFijw, is given by the following formula:

          Eijw  = WP × 0.0016 + 0.4342

 (b) if the average salinity content of the water is less than or equal to 100 000 milligrams per litre and greater than or equal to 20,000 milligrams per litre during the year—EFijw, is given by the following formula:

          Eijw  = WP × 0.0013 + 0.3695

 (c) if the average salinity content of the water is greater than 100,000 milligrams per litre during the year—EFijw, is given by the following formula:

          Eijw  = WP × 0.0009 + 0.0507

        where:

        EFijw is the emission factor for gas type (j), being methane, measured in CO2‑e tonnes per megalitre of produced water associated with the relevant activity during the year.

        WP is the average pressure for a water stream entering the separator during the year measured in kilopascals.

 (4) For subsection (2) and (3), if there is no separator the water pressure must be measured at an equivalent point in the process.

Division 3.3.6E—Natural gas processing (other than emissions that are vented or flared)

3.73O  Application
  This Division applies to fugitive emissions from natural gas processing activities, other than emissions that are vented or flared, including emissions from gas processing.

3.73P  Available methods
 (1) Subject to section 1.18 and subsections (3) and (4), one of the following methods must be used for estimating fugitive emissions of methane and carbon dioxide (other than emissions that are vented or flared) released during a year from the operation of a facility that is constituted by natural gas processing:
 (a) method 1 under section 3.73Q;
 (b) method 2 under
