OGCI's strategy and principles

OGCI member companies work individually and collectively to accelerate action towards a net zero emissions future. Our action is guided by a set of principles and a strategy.

Watch the video below from OGCI Executive Committee Chair Bjorn Otto Sverdrup to learn more about our strategy.

Our strategy

Three strategic pillars guide our work to accelerate the energy transition:

1. Driving towards net zero operations

OGCI provides a forum for member companies to explore what is possible and what stakeholders expect, agree on collective targets and goals to reduce methane and carbon dioxide emissions, and share knowledge on how best to measure and tackle key emission sources.

All member companies share the ambition to achieve net zero emissons from the operations under our control (Scope 1 and 2 emissions). We have also agreed to leverage our influence to achieve the same in assets operated by our partners.

2. Leading the oil and gas industry

Our members have the ambition to work across the industry to encourage other companies to move towards net zero operations and, most urgently, to near zero methane emissions.

We proactively reach out to oil and gas companies around the world to lead and generate action for reducing emissions, sharing knowledge and collaborating on decarbonization technologies and approaches.

Potential CO2e abated

3. Acting to help decarbonize society

OGCI focuses on solutions that provide energy while radically cutting greenhouse gas emissions. We work in areas like carbon capture, utilization and storage and biofuels to tackle emissions from industry and transport.

Our member companies are aligned around the need for more urgent action to support accelerated decarbonization pathways in hard-to-abate industrial and transportation sectors.
