Eni’s partners with Libya’s NOC to reduce methane emissions

Eni is working with Libya’s National Oil Company to advance methane measurement, gas valorization and emissions reduction across jointly operated assets. The partnership combines direct methane measurement, leak detection and repair, the elimination of routine flaring and carbon capture and storage.

Strengthening methane management in Libya

In Libya, Eni has strengthened its partnership with the National Oil Corporation (NOC) in Libya to accelerate methane emissions reduction and gas valorization across jointly operated assets.

Introducing direct methane measurement

Within the OGMP 2.0 framework, Eni has supported the introduction of direct methane measurement campaigns. This is the first-time advanced measurement standards aligned with OGMP 2.0 have been applied in Libya. This collaboration builds the technical foundation for transparent, verifiable emissions reporting, complementing the Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) programs already active across Eni’s upstream operations.

Advancing gas valorization and ending routine flaring

Alongside this, the Bouri gas valorization project will bring Eni’s operating companies in Libya to zero routine flaring in 2026, a milestone already achieved by Eni’s operated assets in 2025.

Supporting further emissions reductions through CCS

Further emission cuts will come from a carbon capture and storage facility at the Mellitah complex, which will re-inject the CO₂ produced from the field back into the subsurface.

Together, these initiatives make Libya one of the clearest examples of how Eni pairs local partnership with technology transfer to advance methane management, gas valorization and decarbonization goals shared with producing countries.

“Our partnership with Libya’s National Oil Corporation highlights how methane emissions reduction and associated gas valorization can be pursued together, delivering environmental benefits while reinforcing local energy capacity."
