🛢️#Permian #pipeline bottlenecks cause #GHG spikes

In a new working paper, experts use data to see how midstream congestion in the Permian Basin drives up #flaring and #methane emissions.

The paper is currently under peer review. Read the working paper:https://t.co/on7cx1Gj1C

New paper w/ @BenGilbertEcon @gregbupton & Wes Blundell shows #Permian #pipeline congestion (measured by price differentials) spikes #methane & #flaring. Our data were only 2015-21, but congestion (and emissions) is still an issue.

The perhaps most immediate implication of these findings is that recent US and EU regulation to curb flaring might not address a significant share of ongoing flaring in the largest U.S. shale play studied in this research, the Permian Basin.

[Ben Gilbert @BenGilbertEcon]

What are the impacts of congestion in natural gas processing and transmission infrastructure on flaring and methane emissions in the Permian? New working paper with @magerton, Wes Blundell @WSUecons and @gregbupton provides evidence. Link: https://t.co/QRM0zmPJSK

[Ben Gilbert @BenGilbertEcon]

The heterogeneity arises because when congestion occurs, gas-directed wells reduce production whereas oil-directed wells do not. This suggests that increasing midstream infrastructure may lower emissions without altering overall production, depending on well type.

@DaveEvansPhD Some level-k thinking going on here.

I'm really excited to share this new @rff working paper, which is the result of >2 years of data collection and analysis. It quantifies local government revenue from various energy sources across 79 counties in 10 US states (🧵/8)

@FrikkNesje Tragedy!

#EconTwitter, what's the status of continuous treatment DiD when an observation can be "treated" multiple times. (i.e. the Callaway and Sant'Anna (2021) min. wage example, but I want to include data beyond "first treatment"). Did I miss it?

@giacomorondina Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I often go back to these ones. They are not computerized, but for some I have rigged a google forms submission process for, e.g., bidding or transactions. Hard to beat MobLab tho.

I guess we’re just allowing forward passes in the RWC now. Noted.

[Ben Gilbert @BenGilbertEcon]

@ThatAkhilRao @nickchk I think this is right. Each long diff is valid for each treatment cohort. Then just do the IV version of each.

[EK Rugby Analysis @ek_rugby]

Lots of talk about a 16-team World Cup after last night. ✌️ things...

1. Namibia have 4 games in 19 days & changed 11 players in their starting lineup last night.

2. We should be asking how we can give these teams more opportunities to improve, not how we can cut them off.

This meal just cost me $25,000. This is why Americans think the economy is terrible.

[Ben Gilbert @BenGilbertEcon]

@DaveEvansPhD Does it really count as “using” if I’m just lurking to keep up with methods developments? I feel like that’s a different category.
