for failing to meet the conditions set forth in this paragraph.
(4) This paragraph covers groups of facilities typically
associated with wellheads, pump-jacks, Christmas trees, metering stations,
and other similar facilities handling or containing crude oil, condensate,
natural gas, or a mixture of these materials (examples include, but
are not limited to, stripper/marginal wells producing up to 10 barrels
of oil equivalent per day, natural gas up to 60,000 cubic feet per
day, or high pressure gas wells). The following projects and facilities
are authorized and must only comply with subsection (e)(1) and (2)
of this section, and applicable portions of subsection (j) of this
section:
(A) Claims under this paragraph must include all facilities
or groups of facilities at an OGS which are operationally dependent
on each other and located within a 1/4 mile of a project emission
point, vent, or fugitive component. If piping or fugitive components
are the only connection between facilities and the distance between
facilities exceeds 1/4 mile, then the facilities are considered separate
for purposes of this paragraph.
(B) A site-wide combination of engines which meet the
following:
(i) up to 450 hp if fueled by sweet gas;
(ii) up to 100 hp if fueled by sour gas containing
not more than 10,000 parts per million by weight (ppmw) H2S; or
(iii) up to 20 hp fueled by sour gas containing more
than 10,000 ppmw but not more than 50,000 ppmw H2S.
(C) For any one of the following combinations of facilities:
(i) only piping and fugitive components handling natural
gas up to a maximum of 135 valves, 135 open-ended lines, any combination
of connectors and flanges up to 2,000 components, and 135 component
types otherwise not specified; or
(ii) only piping and fugitive components handling liquids
or gas up to a maximum of 25 valves, 25 open-ended lines, any combination
of connectors and flanges up to 2,000 components, and 25 component
types otherwise not specified;
(iii) only piping and fugitive components handling
liquids or gas up to a maximum of four pump seals; four open-ended
lines; and any combination of valves, flanges, and connectors up to
225 components; or
(iv) separators used solely to separate crude oil,
condensate, and natural gas (which are routed directly to a sales
pipeline) from produced water. Tanks used and handling only produced
water up to 1,205 barrels per day. All associated piping and fugitive
components up to a maximum of five pump seals; five open-ended lines;
and any combination of valves, flanges, and connectors totaling 150
components in VOC service and 500 components in water service; or
(v) separators used solely to separate crude oil, condensate,
and natural gas (which are routed directly to a sales pipeline) from
produced water. Tanks used and handling only produced water up to
580 barrels per day. All associated piping and fugitive components
up to a maximum of two pump seals; two open-ended lines; and any combination
of valves, flanges, and connectors totaling 230 components in VOC
service and 500 components in water service.
(d) Facilities and Exclusions.
(1) Only the following specific facilities and groups
of facilities have been evaluated for this PBR, along with supporting
