MGP Best Practice Guide: Identification, Detection, Measurement and Quantification
A key step in reducing methane emissions is to identify and detect sources of the emissions.
MGP Best Practice Guide: Continual Improvement
Continual improvement of methane management efforts will eventually result in ‘methane excellence’, i.e., low methane emissions from oil and gas operations.
MGP Best Practice Guide: Operational Repairs
Operational repairs are vital for reducing methane emissions, by both repairing leaking equipment and minimizing emissions that arise during routine maintenance and repairs.
MGP Best Practice Guide: Pneumatic Devices
Pneumatic devices are powered by gas pressure. They are mainly used where electrical power is not available.
MGP Best Practice Guide: Venting
Venting simply means releasing gas arising from a process or activity straight into the atmosphere.
MGP Best Practice Guide: Equipment Leaks
Unintentional leaks from pressurized equipment used in oil and gas operations can lead to gas being released to the atmosphere.
MGP Best Practice Guide: Energy Use
Natural gas, which consists mainly of methane, is used as a fuel throughout oil and gas operations, for compression, generating electricity, heating, dehydration and removing acid gas.
MGP Best Practice Guide: Flaring
Flares burn flammable gases that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. Flaring in upstream oil and gas operations may be needed for safety reasons, because of a lack of capacity to use produced gases, or as a part of routine emission controls.
MGP Best Practice Guide: Engineering, Design & Construction
Engineering design can be used to reduce methane emissions prior to the start of operations for new facilities or modifications to existing facilities.
