“… the first of a planned batch of 16 papers probing emissions data produced by a comprehensive on-the-ground gas measurement initiative has been published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The analysis, led by David T. Allen and other energy and environment researchers at the University of Texas, finds that estimates of methane escaping from gas drilling made by the Environmental Protection Agency are fairly accurate, over all, while those from industry critics and some indirect studies of leakage (from aerial measurements, for example) appear far too high.” (Quoted from article)
