A California federal and state task force has made a series of recommendations to prevent a recurrence of the Aliso Canyon natural gas release. The leak in US, which lasted from last October to February this year, released about 4.72 Bcf of methane and forced nearby residents from their homes. The report recommended that underground facility operators should phase out "single point of failure" designs. In addition, it said that industry, federal and state agencies should strengthen coordination efforts.
