Onshore natural gas field infrastructure (onshore natural gas field infrastructure production)

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is an immobile infrastructure representing the construction of an onshore natural gas field infrastructure. It represents an average natural gas infrastructure with a production of 1.5e9Sm3 and a lifetime of 50 years. In onshore production up to several hundred production points are combined into one production field. Here the specific steel requirement for gathering lines has to be taken into account. Assuming an average production per field of 1 500 million m3 a number of 100 wells per field with a distance of about 300 m from a comb-like manifold results in a steel requirement in the order of 0.001 kg steel per m3 of production gas. The process includes material and energy requirements during the production of a natural gas production field. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
