Emily Killeen is a 2nd year Master student in Mechanical Engineering who joined EERL in May 2024 after completing a bachelor\u2019s degree in Environmental Engineering from Carleton University. Her research focuses on the techno-economic assessment of methane mitigation in Alberta\u2019s oil and gas sector, using a site-level modelling approach to estimate facility-specific abatement costs.<\/p>\n
Her methodology integrates Petrinex production volume data for bottom-up emissions estimation, with planned incorporation of aerial measurement datasets to improve accuracy. She links emissions estimates with mitigation options to quantify marginal abatement costs at the site level. Ongoing work includes evaluating the economic viability of marginal facilities \/ shut-in wells and applying Monte Carlo analysis to assess uncertainty in cost estimates.<\/p>\n
Her research aims to support evidence-based decision-making by demonstrating the conditions under which methane mitigation can be cost-effective over the long term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[25],"yoast_head":"\n
