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 […]
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 […]
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.
Alignment and gaps between Veritas and US EPA GHGRP subpart W amendments
This whitepaper, published in December 2024, examines the alignments and gaps between Veritas site-level protocols and the U.S. EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) Subpart W amendments effective January 2025. By comparing the two programs, it aims to streamline emissions reporting workflows in the oil and gas industry.
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.
How environmental conditions shape methane monitoring from space
In this report explores how environmental conditions — such as cloud cover and terrain roughness — can impact the availability of satellite data in different regions around the world over the course of the year. By providing these insights, the report aims to help new users understand how environmental factors might affect data coverage, highlighting […]
Scoping methane emissions in ASEAN’s oil and gas sector
The report explores the current emissions landscape across major oil and gas producing countries in the region, identifying gaps in data, monitoring, and regulatory frameworks. It highlights early progress made by national oil companies (NOCs) such as Pertamina, Petronas, and PTTEP, who are already piloting methane reduction technologies. Policy mapping reveals varying levels of readiness […]
Three big questions on EU methane regulation
Three Big Questions on the EU Methane Regulation explores key uncertainties facing global gas exporters as they prepare to meet the EU’s emerging methane requirements. While some details remain to be finalized through secondary legislation, this paper focuses on three critical challenges: calculating emissions at the producer level and across the supply chain, navigating third-party […]
Emissions measurement and monitoring technology roadmap
This resource identifies adoptable technology for measuring and monitoring emissions from power generation, flaring, and venting. The technologies included range from in-situ sensors and handheld instruments to drones, planes, and satellites. Multiple technologies can work together. Using a combination of different measurement and detection solutions, operators can achieve a real-time, more cost efficient and increasingly […]
EU methane import requirements and impact on gas purchases
This paper explores the evolving policy landscape, with a focus on the EU Methane Import Requirements and highlights alignments with the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0). It analyzes the process leading to the adoption of the import standard, along with early industry reactions and compliance strategies, drawing on interviews with oil and […]
