Summary: The Oil and Gas Dashboard provides interactive charts, graphs, and maps to highlight trends in Subpart W reported emissions from Reporting Year (RY) 2016 to RY 2023 across industry segments and emissions sources.
Selecting a Page: To explore the various Dashboard pages, use the “Select a category” and then select the “General Analysis” or “Source Summaries” dropdown to view the page options. The “General Analysis” pages include Subpart W data presented by industry segment, emissions source, and basin. The “Source Summaries” pages highlight data from each Subpart W emissions source. View more information about subpart W industry segments and sources.
Filtering Data: To filter data for certain industry segments or emissions sources, click the box next to an item in the menu list in the left pane. Selections will carry over to other pages. To select all emissions sources but combustion use the button under the menu lists (Subpart W Summary page only). Use the “Gas Option” button on the bottom left to toggle from “All” GHGs to “CH4 Only.”
Selecting Data in Charts: Data selections can be made by clicking on data displayed in the charts, graphs, and maps. For example, by clicking on a specific emissions source in the chart, all data will be filtered by that emissions source across the dashboard.
EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP, codified at 40 CFR Part 98) requires reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) data and other relevant information from large GHG emission sources, fuel and industrial gas suppliers, and CO2 injection sites in the United States. Approximately 8,000 facilities are required to report their emissions annually, and the reported data are made available to the public in October of each year.
This data can be used by businesses and others to track and compare facilities' greenhouse gas emissions, identify opportunities to cut pollution, minimize wasted energy, and save money. States, cities, and other communities can use EPA’s greenhouse gas data to find high-emitting facilities in their area, compare emissions between similar facilities, and develop common-sense climate policies.
This dashboard displays trends in EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) Subpart W reporting data from RY 2016 to RY 2023. Other resources for EPA's GHGRP Subpart W data include FLIGHT and EPA's Envirofacts database.
Subpart W applies to any facility that contains petroleum and natural gas systems and that emits 25,000 mt CO2e or more per year. Petroleum and natural gas systems are defined by the GHGRP as facilities that participate in production, processing, compression, gathering and boosting, storage, transmission, and distribution.
This GHGRP source category consists of the following industry segments of the petroleum and natural gas industry:
