INFLATION REDUCTION ACT (IRA) – WELL EMISSIONS AND LEAKAGE LIMITATION CHECK (WELL CHECK) THE GOAL OF WELL CHECK IS TO ACCELERATE THE MITIGATION OF METHANE EMISSIONS FROM SMALL OPERATORS (SO), DEFINED AS AN ENTITY GENERATING REVENUE OF LESS THAN $40 MILLION IN A FISCAL YEAR, WITHIN THE U.S. OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY WITH PRODUCTION VOLUMES BETWEEN 15 AND 40 BARRELS OF OIL EQUIVALENT PER DAY (BOED), GATHERING LINES, AND TRANSMISSION PIPELINES. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THREE KEY OBJECTIVES: 1) INSTALLATION OF EMISSIONS REDUCTION TECHNOLOGIES FOR HIGH-PRIORITY EMISSIONS SOURCES FROM UPSTREAM AND MIDSTREAM SEGMENTS, 2) UPSTREAM AND MIDSTREAM OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR SOS ON MITIGATION AND MEASUREMENT BEST PRACTICES, AND 3) IMPLEMENTATION OF INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES PROGRAMS AT SITES TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR LEAK SOURCES.
