More methane is being used, so likely more methane is leaking. But there isn't any solid evidence that a larger percentage of methane is leaking. If its going to change the change is more likely to a lower leakage rate as new technologies and techniques are developed to reduce it and as the poorest practices in the industry lose out to more efficient ways of doing things. "Up to 9%" from the prelinary results, of one study, of one region, hardly amounts to solid evidence of a general leak rate of anywhere close to that level. At that level there would be good reason to lower the leak rate even if one has little concern for AGW, almost one tenth loss of a valuable resource wastes a lot of money.
