Separation of NOx emissions from Drilling, and Oil and Gas Extraction in the U.S. using Monthly Data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument

Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have increased unconventional oil and gas extraction from shale reserves in the U.S. in the last decade, making up more than half of total U.S. oil and gas production at present. This activity results in NOx emissions in the extraction regions that are measurable from space using the Ozone Monitoring...
