General comment Type of process: ordinary transforming activity; Parent relation Ecospold2: none; Tags: Combined Production; combined production; ; Macroeconomic Scenario: Business-as-Usual; This dataset represents the Brazilian onshore production of petroleum and natural gas. In Brazilian production fields, 4% of petroleum and 20% of natural gas production takes place onshore, while the remaining quantities are produced offshore (ANP, 2019). After the exploration phase and drilling, oil and gas are moved to the surface through the wellbore by means of a pump.
Brazilian national statistics was used to re-contextualize the ‘petroleum and gas production, on-shore’ dataset for the Global region, valid for the 2000-2012 period, available in database version 3.6. The adapted parameters were the petroleum and natural gas production yields, as well as the amount of flaring, venting, natural gas consumed in turbines and produced water.
This dataset was developed under the Cornerstone project, an initiative from the Brazilian Business Network on Life cycle Assessment (Rede ACV) in collaboration with ecoinvent to increase the quantity and quality of inventories that represent Brazil, through a thorough adaptation of the datasets. More information about this project is available in redeacv.org.br/en/wg-database. Technical background is provided in Valebona F.; Rocha T.B.; Motta F. L. Cornerstone Project. Recontextualization of Datasets: Methodology. ACV Brasil, Brazil.

Comment for [variable] nat_gas_vented: The amount of Flaring and Losses (1.27E+8 m³) informed by ANP (2019) for the year 2018 is used to estimate the amount of flared and vented natural gas. The share of vented natural gas is estimated using the amount of fugitive methane emitted during exploration and production activities in 2012 (112,261,860 kg - MCTI, 2015). Considering that all methane fugitive emissions are due to venting, the final amount of vented natural gas in 2012 is calculated with the natural gas composition (0.73%vol of methane; 0.71 kg methane/m³; compiled from anp.gov.br/dados-estatisticos). Thereby, the calculated amount of vented natural gas in 2012 is 2.15E+8 m³, which corresponds to 15% of the combined Flaring and Losses statistics for 2012. This calculated share was used to split the amount flared and vented natural gas in onshore production for 2018, respectively 1.08E+8 m³ and 1.89E+7 m³.

The amount of Flaring and Losses (1,27E+8 m³) informed by ANP (2019) for the year of 2018 is used to estimate the amount of flared and vented natural gas. The share of vented natural gas is estimated using the amount of fugitive methane emitted during exploration and production activities in 2012 (MCTI, 2015). Considering that all methane fugitive emissions are due to venting, the final amount of vented natural gas is calculated with the natural gas composition.
