Misfactoring of emissions from correct FF volumes (Maloob, Mexico) https://fossilfuelregistry.org/project/1520

Maloob correctly shows FF volumes for 2020 gas: Oil 122.3 mln bbls (2020): Gas 2.9 mln m3 (2020). But it then factors the emissions from the gas as though it were 2.9 billion notnot million m3 - 5.63 million tons CO2e from combustion and 2.33 million tons from pre-combustion. Whereas a check in the Excel model against this volume of gas from Mexico gives 5.68 thousand and 2.34 thousand tons respectively. It looks as though the gas calculation has been borrowed from country level and is still primed to give emissions numbers against a unit of billions of cubic metres, not millions.

Misstatement of FF volumes (Halfdan, Denmark) https://fossilfuelregistry.org/project/2261

Halfdan shows the followong production volumes: Oil 1733.0 mln bbls (2020): Gas 0.9 mln m3 (2020). But the database shows 1.733 thousand m3 of oil. This has not been converted into the standard front end unit on the website of barrels, which shows 1733.0 mln bbls. The oil combustion emissions total of 645,077 tons CO2e is then correctly calculated against this incorrect oil volume.

Non-inclusion of FF volumes in overall emissions (Johan Sverdrup, Norway) https://fossilfuelregistry.org/project/1480

States: Norway: Johan Sverdrup: Oil 12.1 mln bbls (2021): Gas 0.8 mln m3 (2020) But only gas included in computation - the ring. Oil not included. Also note: same errors as in previous two also found here...

Emissions for gas are calculated as though for 0.8 billion m3, although it is only 0.8 million m3 Oil volume is 12.1 million barrels, but underlying oil volume data in database show 25.2 million m3 of oil

Fixed an issue with conversion from e3m3 to e6bbl. Will keep investigating the other problems.

The labeling issue is fixed. Was only the label.

Johan Sverdrup, Norway https://fossilfuelregistry.org/project/1480 - confirmed against database and excel Halfdan, Denmark https://fossilfuelregistry.org/project/2261 - confirmed against database and excel Maloob, Mexico https://fossilfuelregistry.org/project/1520 - confirmed against database and excel

@niklaserik thanks! but i should check these on dev site, right, not on main since this has not been pushed to live?
