Short summary
This research is the first study concerning the 1-year online monitoring of volatile organic compounds in an oil–gas field in China. The VOC concentrations, compositions and ozone formation potential in this study are quite different from other research. The contributions of natural gas and the other four sources to total VOCs are quantified. The different timescale variations in different sources are described. This research broadens our knowledge of VOC behavior in this type of region.
