OGMP 2.0 technical guidance document: well operations
The OGMP 2.0 Technical Guidance Documents are key resources for companies participating in the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 initiative. These documents provide recommended methodologies for quantifying methane emissions across various source categories. The following is a list of available documents:
Shining a light on the “coal versus LNG emissions” debate
In this resource, Wood Mackenzie has used its proprietary data as well as credible third-party sources to prepare a rigorous comparison of lifecycle emissions of US LNG and coal in power generation in the two key markets of NW Europe and China. Results indicate that despite typically higher methane losses than LNG from other regions, […]
National oil companies & global finance
This report covers the significance of NOCs, what drives their priorities and decision making, and how the financial sector has an essential role in enabling NOCs to accelerate near-term methane mitigation.
Catalyzing methane emission reduction at oil & gas JVs
This paper focuses on IOCs’ non-operated joint ventures with national oil companies (NOCs). It analyzes complexities in quantifying methane emissions from joint ventures, the key partnerships IOCs can use to drive joint venture methane reduction, and the strategies non-operating partners can deploy to improve methane management at existing and future joint ventures.
Flaring accountability
This report determines the company’s whole flaring impact around the world by attributing flaring to individual companies for both their operated and non-operated assets. The analysis shows that just 10 large international oil companies (IOCs)—BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, Equinor, ExxonMobil, Occidental Petroleum, Repsol, Shell, and TotalEnergies—are responsible for 7% of global flaring, based on their […]
Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter 2024 Baseline Report
The Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) published on November 11 its Baseline Report, setting a foundation to help prioritize and track progress on emissions reductions made by the 54 oil and gas companies—representing almost 45% of global oil production—that have signed up to the Charter’s ambitions. These ambitions include working toward net-zero operations by […]
An eye on methane 2024
The fourth edition of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) publication, An Eye on Methane: Invisible but not unseen, takes stock of the progress made to harness a methane data revolution that can accelerate methane reduction at a global scale. UNEP’s IMEO provides data and context to the individuals who […]
OGMP 2.0: starters guide
The OGMP 2.0 Starters Guide is a onboarding resource for companies joining the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0). This guide provides a structured approach for new members to integrate into the partnership’s framework and effectively contribute to global methane mitigation efforts.
Global Methane Tracker 2025
The Global Methane Tracker presents the latest sector-wide emissions estimates – based on the most recent data from satellites and measurement campaigns – and discusses different abatement options along with their associated costs. This 2025 update adds several new elements, including: country-level historical emissions data; an interactive tool to explore international methane initiatives; and estimates […]
Chevron methane report 2022
This report builds on Chevrons’s climate-related disclosures by providing detailed insights into its ongoing efforts to reduce methane intensity and improve emissions inventories. It addresses the challenges and opportunities in the evolving field of methane detection and measurement—emphasizing the importance of reliable measurement protocols. The report also highlights initiatives to advance methane detection technologies and […]
