Guidelines for design and operation of flare gas recovery systems

Guidelines focus on continuous flaring sources in normal operations and address measures for source recovery, flare closure, and flare ignition. This Report has been developed to assist engineering and operations staff at production, refining, and petrochemical owners and operators, and engineering staff at design consultancies and at engineering, procurement, and construction contractors.

Flaring management guidance – a summary

Flaring management guidance, developed by Ipieca, IOGP and GGFR in partnership, outlines new developments in flaring management and reduction, and examines industry experiences with eliminating flaring, new technologies, business models, operational improvements and regulatory policy. It also features case studies and examples of positive change.

Advanced methane technology alternative test method portal

EPA portal to submit requests for alternative test methods (ATM). ATM request has three primary pieces: 1) a document describing how your technology works, from first principles through the solution; 2) supporting documents demonstrating the technology works as stated and showing applicability; 3) the formal ATM. All those documents are available in the portal for all […]

Approved instrument monitoring method for oil and gas

Page with alternative technologies approved for use to meet Regulation 7 requirements. Submitted Alternative AIMM (Approved Instrument Monitoring Method) applications and approval letters are available for download. The application requirements include details around commercial availability of the proposed technology, its reliability in detecting emissions, and its effectiveness compared to traditional methods like IR cameras or […]

Alternative fugitive emission management program approvals

List of the alternative technology plans which have been approved for use on oil and gas sites in Alberta by the Alberta Energy Regulator. Aerial, continuous monitors, vehicle-mounted, and drone-mounted technologies have been approved, usually paired with OGI for following up on detections. AER published in the page performance reports that track overall effectiveness and […]

OGMP technical guidance documents

Technical Guidance Documents (TGDs) on each of the nine core emission sources covered by OGMP. The guidance documents present suggested methodologies for quantifying methane emissions from each source and describe established mitigation options that could be referenced when determining if the source is “mitigated. The resources include technical guidance documents addressing various aspects of methane […]

British Columbia fugitive emissions management guideline

This Fugitive Emissions Management Guideline provides regulatory requirements and guidance for fugitive emissions management in British Columbia. This guideline provides a structured approach to managing fugitive emissions. It includes detailed instructions on planning and conducting leak detection surveys, detection and measurement methods, and training requirements. Additionally, includes British Columbia standards track repairs and data management. […]

Study of financing solutions to reduce flaring and methane emissions

This book highlights the business case for reducing gas flaring and methane emissions (FMR), offering a framework for policymakers to evaluate FMR project feasibility and financial viability. It explores investment barriers, identifies key success factors, and presents simplified financial models. Focusing on midsized flares, which make up 58% of global flare volumes, the book addresses […]

Oil and gas methane science studies

This CCAC project overview describes a global collaboration between EDF, UNEP, OGCI, and others to conduct peer-reviewed studies on methane emissions in the oil and gas sector. The initiative aims to fill data gaps outside the U.S. by generating scientifically credible methane data across the value chain. It supports policy development and emission reduction strategies […]

Methane emissions avoidance strategies

TC Energy presents strategies to avoid emissions (hot taps, ILL, bundling, flaring). This methane reduction project case study was presented at the Methane Guiding Principles 2023 Masterclass by Andrew Willard, Manager of Emissions Reduction at TC Energy.
