This data tool presents the IEA’s country-by-country estimates of energy-related methane emissions.
Methane is responsible for around 30% of the rise in global temperatures since the Industrial Revolution, and rapid and sustained reductions in methane emissions are key to limiting near-term global warming and improving air quality.
Company members participating in reporting under the OGMP 2.0 Reporting Framework (Framework) are required to submit an implementation plan describing how they will achieve the ‘gold standard’ of reporting by the agreed dates (3 years for operated assets and 5…
In an international context where decarbonisation of the energy systems is crucial for accelerating the energy transition and contribute to the goals of achieving the Paris targets.
The Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0) is a multi-stakeholder initiative launched by UNEP and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition.
This document provides step by step guidance for Partner Companies to use in submitting their Annual Report to the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP) Secretariat.

Country/venture/asset level reporting is the lowest reporting level for the OGMP 2.0.
There are two types of flares, elevated and ground flares. Elevated flares are more common and typically have larger capacities than ground flares.
Glycol dehydrators in the natural gas industry have the primary purpose of removing water from an incoming wet gas stream using monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG), or, most commonly, triethylene glycol (TEG).
Compressors are widely used to increase gas pressure for the purpose of pipeline transportation or as a process requirement.
Unstabilized liquids storage tanks in the onshore oil and natural gas sector are used to hold a variety of liquids, including crude oil, gas condensates, and produced water.
Energy and heat generation processes are required throughout the oil and gas value chain.
Leaks are the unintentional releases of natural gas from equipment used in oil and gas operations.
Reciprocating compressors (also referred to as piston compressors), are found in a variety of oil and gas operations.
Reconciliation is the process of comparing source-level (Level 4) inventories with independent site-level measurements to produce Level 5 asset emissions estimates.
When natural gas (NG) is released into the atmosphere, its impact over 20 years as a greenhouse agent is 80 times greater than CO₂.
In natural gas production wells, initial gas flow velocity is usually sufficient to entrain produced liquids as droplets and carry them up the well tubing and to a gas/liquid separator.
This document presents general principles which apply to all Technical Guidance Documents (TGDs), unless stated otherwise in the TGDs.
Incidents and emergency stops are unintended and unplanned events/venting which are not part of routine operations.
Venting is the intentional release of gas (or methane-containing vapors) to the atmosphere, typically required by the design, operation, construction and commissioning, or maintenance of the equipment.
Casinghead gas is gas that evolves off of crude oil when it flows into a lower pressure through well casing perforations and collects in the annular space between the casing and tubing in an oil well.
After initial drilling, all wells must undergo well completion to flush out drilling fluids and cuttings before commencing production.
The oil and gas industry needs cost-effective solutions to monitor methane emissions reductions across all elements of the value chain.
Analyses from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
Natural gas can play an important role as part of the global energy mix in a lower carbon future, provided that levels of methane emissions from the extraction, processing and transmission of natural gas to the end user are limited.

La quema en antorcha se utiliza para gestionar el gas natural (‘asociado’)
Факельное сжигание применяется для утилизации природного («попутного»)
Flaring is used to manage the natural (‘associated’) gas produced as a co-product during oil extraction, routinely or as the result of an unscheduled event.
To tackle climate-related risks and meet the aim of the Paris Agreement, society needs to manage and mitigate CO2 and methane emissions
MGP Methane Reduction Toolkit: Methane Reduction Subcommittee
This A4 poster is available in English, German, Mandarin, Russian and Spanish. We encourage you to share these Best Practices with your colleagues and the companies you work with.
This brochure provides a synopsis to each of the Best Practice Guides in one document to help those responsible for methane management.
The Gap Assessment Tool is part of our Best Practice Toolkit which is a series of Best Practice Guides, Synopses and Tools designed to improve methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain.
The Methane Cost Model provides the user with a screening tool to support the identification and evaluation of potential methane reduction projects across the natural gas supply chain.
Methane emissions in the natural gas supply chain arise from venting, fugitive emissions and incomplete combustion (methane slip).
A key step in reducing methane emissions is to identify and detect sources of the emissions.
