This guide helps companies influence their JV partners to reduce methane emissions and create a cleaner oil and gas value chain. The Playbook for Methane Action in Non-Operated JVs (NOJVs) is a guide to driving methane emissions reductions in joint ventures, especially when partners may lack urgency or resist change. It begins with an overview of methane’s role in climate change and the oil and gas industry, emphasizing the importance of influencing NOJVs. The playbook addresses five common barriers to action, providing solutions for each, and outlines a framework for effective influence—what to target, who to engage, how to act, and where to focus efforts. Practical tips and tactics round out the guide, offering strategies to build trust, align goals, and foster meaningful collaboration.
