This Recommended Practice provides the user with a framework for implementing combinations of measurement, detection, and quantification technologies at onshore and offshore assets to facilitate improved methane management and emissions reporting. It consists of detailed decision trees to guide technology deployment. The resource was updated in March 2025, expanding the number of technologies included in the joint Ipieca-IOGP-OGCI- Energy Institute guidance and online technology filtering tool.
