The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah is offering this grant to address a critical gap in understanding methane gas migration through soil. Fugitive methane emissions from oil and gas operations can significantly impact air quality and climate change. There is a pressing need to develop robust methods for collecting, quantifying, and modeling methane flux from the soil into the atmosphere. The data obtained from these measurements are essential for assessing potential air quality impacts stemming from oil and gas development, aligning with the BLM’s mandate under the Clean Air Act to protect public lands. This grant specifically seeks to measure methane flux from the soil near federal oil and gas wells in the Moab, Price, and Vernal regions of Utah.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Bureau of Land Management |
| Description: | There is little information on the process and/or magnitudes of impact from methane gas migration through the soil. Fugitive gas emissions may potentially have a significant impact on air quality and climate change. There is a need to develop a system for the collecting, quantifying and modeling of methane gas that enters the atmosphere through the soil, or flux. This data is crucial to determining the potential impacts to air quality from oil and gas development. The BLM is required to protect public lands and minimized impacts to the atmosphere as mandated by the CAA. Therefore, the intent of this assistance agreement is to measure the methane flux from the soil to the atmosphere in the vicinity of federal oil and gas wells around Moab, Price and Vernal, Utah |
