OGCI Launches Methane Library to Help Oil And Gas Industry Reduce Emissions
Insider Brief
The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) introduced a publicly accessible methane library to support oil and gas companies in reducing methane emissions and flaring.
The library offers over 150 resources from global agencies and experts, providing guidance on detection, quantification, abatement methods, and regulatory practices.
OGCI’s 12 member companies have cut upstream methane emissions and routine flaring by more than 50% since 2017, showcasing the industry’s progress and potential for further impact.
PRESS RELEASE – The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) on Wednesday launched a publicly available methane library to help oil and gas companies access information on the technologies, tools, and strategies to reduce methane emissions and flaring.
This includes information on methods of detection, tools to quantify and assess emissions, guidelines and best practices that have already proven successful in methane abatement, and regulatory frameworks.
The resources come from a variety of external sources, including international organizations such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), UNEP’s Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0, the World Bank, and government agencies such as the US Environmental Protection Agency and Canada’s Environment and Natural Resources department.
Academic papers and think tank reports can also be found in the library as well as some OGCI publications.
Vanessa Ryan, head of OGCI’s Role of Gas workstream said:
“Consolidating and streamlining these important resources helps make them more accessible to oil and gas companies who are at different stages of tackling methane emissions at their operations. It provides a centralized platform to empower industry professionals with the knowledge and tools to take action to reduce methane emissions and keep methane in the pipe.” Head of OGCI’s Role of Gas workstream, Vanessa Ryan
OGCI and its member companies have already taken notable action to reduce the oil and gas industry’s methane emissions: setting targets, developing and deploying technologies and participating in multi-stakeholder initiatives to raise awareness and disseminate guidance and best practices.
Progress made by OGCI member companies and others has demonstrated that meaningful and cost-effective opportunities exist to drive rapid reductions in methane emissions in the oil and gas industry.
Since 2017, the group’s 12 member companies have reduced their aggregate upstream operated methane emissions and routine flaring by more than 50%.
