Supplementary Data for Methane for Nothing: A Bayesian Meta-Analysis of Upstream Methane Emissions in U.S. Oil and Gas Production
Description
This dataset supports a Bayesian meta-analysis of upstream methane emission rates of U.S. oil and gas production from the empirical literature. The data is collected from manual searches on Google Scholar. In this associated supplementary data package, I include: 1) "Data.xlsx" - an Excel workbook containing all relevant data collected in this study, with the following tabs: 1a) Regional - this tab contains the main dataset used for analysis. It contains all basin-level estimates from the literature, along with the year of the study, the data years of collection, the method, and a link to the study. 1b) National - this tab contains national-level estimates, not used in the analysis 1c) Data from Omara et al 2018 - this tab contains data pulled from Omara et al (2018), which I then include in the Regional tab 1d) Natural gas Production - annual national U.S. natural gas gross withdrawals 1e) Basin-Level Production - annual basin-level natural gas gross production 1f) Breakeven Rates - coal-gas breakeven rates collected from the literature, with their associated characteristic scenarios 1g) Implied Breakeven Feldman McCabe - calculations for imputing a breakeven rate from Feldman and McCabe (2024) 2) "Analysis.rmd" - an R markdown file containing all R code required to run the analysis in the accompanying paper 3) "models/" - intermediates from the Analysis.rmd file, of the Bayesian models fit in the analysis 4) "plots/" - output from the Analysis.rmd file, of graphs used in the analysis 5) "tex/" - output from the Analysis.rmd file, of LaTeX tables used in the analysis
