This paper describes how the Ventbuster®, is the latest and most sophisticated advancement in methane emissions quantification and monitoring, and utilized for true and auditable confirmation for leaking wellbore mitigation. This is only accomplished by first establishing a scientific baseline emission measurement, pre-plug and abandonment. Then, by real-time digital data recording and live monitoring of emissions during wellbore integrity restoration operations. Followed up with continuous emission monitoring for an indisputable confirmation of mitigation, post-plug and abandonment.
