Abstract
In some embodiments, methane leak emissions are quantified accurately in natural gas distribution systems in which mobile surveys are performed on different parts of a target area over an extended reporting period (e.g. a year or more). Emission calculations depend on repair and/or mobile survey schedules, and employ temporal and/or spatial extrapolation in order to account for imperfect real-time information about system state.
