## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for environmental compliance in the oil and gas sector. It allows AI agents to calculate total methane and VOC emissions by processing equipment inventories and component counts. Using `calculate_venting_emissions`, users can determine intentional gas releases from venting equipment. With `calculate_fugitive_emissions`, agents can estimate unintentional leaks from pressurized components, including the impact of LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) programs. The server uses standardized EPA-based emission factors to ensure regulatory accuracy.

## Tools

### calculate_fugitive_emissions
Optional LDAR reduction factor.

Calculates unintentional leakages from pressurized components

### calculate_venting_emissions
Calculates total emissions from intentional gas releases via venting equipment

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the venting emissions for 5 pneumatic controllers with a methane concentration of 95%.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total methane mass for the 5 pneumatic controllers is 12.5 kg, with a total VOC mass of 0.625 kg.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the fugitive emissions for 10 valves if the emission factor is 0.05 and the LDAR reduction is 20%?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total fugitive methane mass is 0.4 kg after applying the 20% LDAR reduction.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Compare the impact of venting versus fugitive emissions for my facility.
```

**Response:** 
```
Venting accounts for 75% of your total methane emissions, while fugitive leaks contribute the remaining 25%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How are venting emissions calculated?**
Venting emissions are calculated using the `calculate_venting_emissions` tool, which multiplies equipment quantities by specific emission factors and applies gas composition data to derive VOC mass.

**Can I account for LDAR program benefits?**
Yes. When using `calculate_fugitive_emissions`, you can provide an `ldarReductionFactor` to reduce the raw fugitive emission estimate based on the efficiency of your Leak Detection and Repair program.

**What emission standards does this server follow?**
The server utilizes standardized emission factors based on EPA estimation methods for both venting and fugitive sources.
