Introduction
This Microsoft Excel workbook is designed to help the user estimate emissions at oil & gas
facilities with Standard Industrial Classification codes in the major group 13 that have uncontrolled
actual emissions greater than one ton per year for any single pollutant including: PM10, PM2.5, NOx,
3
SOx, CO, or VOC. These sources include, but are not limited to, industries involved in oil and
natural gas exploration, production, and transmission (boosting stations (i.e. transmission
compression stations) and line heaters) operations; well production facilities; natural gas
compressor stations; and natural gas processing plants and commercial oil and gas disposal wells,
ponds and sites. The period being estimated for is calendar year 2023 (Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, 2023).
The step-by-step instructions below will aid the user in filling out this customized workbook. It
will help to have a copy of the workbook open while reading these instructions to increase
understanding.
To begin, open the Excel workbook. Tabs identifying worksheets that are linked and interactive
will be displayed across the bottom of the workbook. All but two of these worksheets are
modifiable and require inputs from the user for the workbook to correctly calculate the
emissions inventory. When inserting new data (in some cases by typing over the top of existing
data), the new data will automatically be distributed to the proper cells and worksheets;
thereby, reducing inventory time and the chance for errors. Fields shaded in grey should not be
modified by the user unless the instructions for that field explicitly state to do so. Fields that are
shaded in pink are optional, and are not required to be provided by the user. Worksheets in this
workbook include “Operator Info”, “Facilities List”, “Associated API #s”,
“ProdAreaDesignation&Analyses”, “Drill_Compl._Recompl._Workover”, “Associated Gas
Flaring”, “RICE&Turbines”, “Separators&Heaters”, “Dehydrators”, “Tanks”, “Truck Loading”,
“Pneumatic Controllers”, “Pneumatic Pumps”, “Fugitives”, “Produced Water and Injection”,
“Centrifuges”, and “Solid Waste Disposal”. The workbook also contains a “Company Summary”
worksheet that does not need to be modified.

Grant (801) 413-6605, ryangrant@utah.gov.
Entering Data in Workbook
Most fields are modifiable and can be filled in by the operator; however, any fields that are
static parameters and should not be adjusted are shaded grey. The workbook also includes
several drop-down lists which must be selected by the user, and once selected will appear in a
blue font. When entering data into the worksheets, be sure to enter the values in exactly the
same units that are listed. Units are not modifiable since the calculations in the workbook
depend on continuity of units. The current units are standard for calculating emissions at oil &
gas operations.
Each worksheet is defaulted with 2000 rows to report equipment or activity. Note: If your
company has more than 2000 pieces of any one equipment type or activity, or more than 2000
facilities, contact UDAQ for further instruction.
Note: Please do NOT include Title V point source permitted facilities in your submission. This
workbook is limited to area source emissions. Title V point source emissions are reported in
5
the State Emissions Inventory Program (SLEIS). Only include facilities that aren’t reported in
SLEIS to avoid double counts.

be used to report component counts for each area designation.
Production Area Designations and Analyses Summary
This table is a summary table which auto-populates based on the information provided by the
user in the “Production Area Analyses” tables and the “Component Counts by Area Designation”
tables. This table is also used by other tabs within the workbook. This table should not be
modified by the user.
Production Area Analyses – How to Report Analyses
Each facility reported on the “Facilities List” tab must have an associated set of analyses. For
each facility, users may either provide a unique set of analyses, provide a representative set of
analyses (may be utilized for more than one facility), or use the default set of analyses already
provided in the workbook. Regardless of the method used, the set of analyses used for each
individual facility should be noted in the “Facilities List” tab by noting the “Production Area
Designation” name assigned to the specific set of analyses (e.g. “Default” or “1”, “2”,”3”, etc.)
using the dropdown for the “Production Area Designation” field.
Space is provided for submission of up to 10 different sets of analyses (identified by the
production area designations of “1-10”). If a user needs to submit more than 10 sets of analyses
they should contact UDAQ for further instruction.
Note: If unique or representative analyses are provided, supporting documents must be
submitted as well.
Each set of analyses should include: “Produced Natural Gas Composition”, “Flash Gas Analysis”,
and “Standing Working Breathing Gas Analysis”. For each analysis the user should provide the
following information:
1. Gas MW –The gas molecular weight of the gas collected for sample in pound per
pound mole (lb/lb-mole). This field requires no manual input, the field will be auto
calculated from the data provided in the Mole Fraction fields. The populated data
should not be modified by the user.
8
2. VOC Wt. % – The volatile organic compound (VOC) weight percent of the gas
collected for sample. This field requires no manual input, the field will be auto
calculated from the data provided in the Mole Fraction fields. The populated data
should not be modified by the user.
3. Heat Content (BTU/scf) – Provide the heat content of the gas collected for sample in
British thermal units per standard cubic feet (BTU/scf).
4. GOR – Provide the gas oil ratio for the analysis.
5. # of Samples Taken – Provide the number of samples used to develop the noted
representative sample.
6. Mole Fraction – Provide the mole fraction obtained from the production gas analysis
completed for the sample of interest including: CO2, N2, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7,
C8, C9, C10, Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene, and N-Hexane.
Note: For compressor stations and CBM well facilities, if applying the custom component
count recommendation (see below), be certain to fill out the corresponding custom
Production Area gas analysis section (if no custom gas analysis is available, copy/paste values
from the “Default” gas analysis section).
Component Counts by Area Designation
These tables should be used to provide the average component counts for each unique
production area designation utilized by the user. Default counts have already been provided for
the “Default” production area designation. The user should complete the component counts
table for any production area designation they provided analyses for in the “Production Area
Analyses” tables.
These tables use the provided component counts along with EPA based fugitive equipment leak
emission factors to determine “Emissions lb/hr” and “Total Emissions lb/hr” (these fields should
not be modified by the user).
Note: For compressor stations, if no custom component count is available and provided
default values will be used, it is recommended to copy default component count values for
Gas, Light Oil, and Water/Oil only into one of the custom Production Area Designation
component counts sections and used in conjunction the associated custom Production Area
gas analyses. This avoids inflating fugitive emission calculations due to Heavy Oil
contributions.
For CBM well facilities, if no custom component count is available and provided default values
will be used, it is recommended to copy default component count values for Gas and
Water/Oil only into one of the custom Production Area Designation component counts
9
sections and used in conjunction the associated custom Production Area gas analyses. This
avoids inflating fugitive emission calculations due to Light Oil and Heavy Oil contributions.
