In the fall of 2019, FracTracker in collaboration with Earthworks visited urban drilling sites in Los Angeles at the request of Frontline Communities. Fugitive and uncontrolled VOC emissions were filmed using state of the art optical gas imaging FLIR 320 cameras. The sources of the emissions included a variety of equipment and infrastructure on the well-pads, including the oil wells themselves. The footage included in the story map below represents a very small sample of the tens of thousands of well sites in Los Angeles.
