 (3) For EF(l) ij in subsection (1), general leaks in the crude oil production comprise the emissions (other than vent emissions) from equipment listed in sections 5.4.3, 5.6.4, 5.6.5 and 6.1.2 of the API Compendium, if the equipment is used in the crude oil production.

3.50  Method 2—crude oil production (non‑flared) emissions of methane
 (1) Method 2 is:

where:
Eij is the fugitive emissions of methane (j) from the crude oil production during the year measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Σk is the total emissions of methane (j) measured in tonnes of CO2‑e and estimated by summing up the emissions released from each equipment type (k) listed in sections 5.4.1, 5.4.2, 5.4.3, 5.6.4, 5.6.5 and 6.1.2 of the API Compendium, if the equipment type is used in the crude oil production.
Qik is the total of the quantities of crude oil that pass through each equipment type (k), or the number of equipment units of type (k), listed in sections 5.4.1, 5.4.2, 5.4.3, 5.6.4, 5.6.5 and 6.1.2 of the API Compendium, if the equipment is used in the crude oil production, measured in tonnes.
EFijk is the emission factor of methane (j) measured in tonnes of CO2‑e per tonne of crude oil that passes through each equipment type (k) listed in sections 5.4.1, 5.4.2, 5.4.3, 5.6.4, 5.6.5 and 6.1.2 of the API Compendium as determined under subsection (2), if the equipment is used in the crude oil production.
 (2) For EFijk, the emission factors for methane (j), as crude oil passes through an equipment type (k), are:
 (a) as listed in sections 5.4.1, 5.4.2, 5.4.3, 5.6.4, 5.6.5 and 6.1.2 of the API Compendium, for the equipment type; or
 (b) if the manufacturer of the equipment supplies equipment‑specific emission factors for the equipment type—those factors.

       3.51  Method 3—crude oil production (non‑flared) emissions of methane

 (1) Method 3 is:
Eij = ∑k (EFijk × Tik × Nk)
where:
Eij is the fugitive emissions of methane (j) from the crude oil production during the year measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Σk is the total emissions of methane (j) measured in tonnes of CO2‑e and estimated by summing up the emissions released from each component type (k) listed in section 6.1.3 of the API Compendium, if the component type is used in the crude oil production.
EFijk is the emission factor of methane (j) measured in tonnes of CO2‑e per component‑hour that passes through each component type (k) listed in section 6.1.3 of the API Compendium as determined under subsection (2), if the component is used in the crude oil production.
Tik is the average hours of operation during the year of the components of each component type (k) listed
