Operational Emissions vs. Fugitive Emissions: Understanding the Difference in Methane Reporting Methane emissions are under increasing scrutiny as the oil and gas industry works to meet global climate targets and align with frameworks such as the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0. As part of this push, understanding the distinction between operational methane emissions […]

Understanding the Tradeoffs in OGMP Methane Measurement Methane emissions from oil and gas operations are a major contributor to climate change. With growing pressure from regulators, investors, and the public, operators are increasingly adopting methane monitoring technologies to meet environmental targets and comply with frameworks like the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0. One

Methane Quantification: Why It Matters As global efforts to combat climate change intensify, methane quantification has emerged as a critical requirement for industries with emissions risks. Methane is over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, making the accurate measurement—and reduction—of methane emissions essential for meeting environmental, regulatory, and corporate goals.

Understanding the Key Contributors to Oil and Gas Emissions Methane is a potent greenhouse gas—roughly 84 times more impactful than CO₂ over a 20-year timeframe. In the upstream oil and gas sector, controlling methane emissions is a critical component of environmental responsibility, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Yet many operators still face challenges identifying and

What Are Fugitive Methane Emissions? Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases, with a global warming potential over 80 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Reducing methane emissions is critical to meeting global climate targets — yet not all emissions are easy to track or prevent. A significant portion comes

How to Detect Fugitive Emissions In the oil and gas sector, fugitive emissions represent a major source of greenhouse gas releases—especially methane, which is over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Detecting these unintentional leaks is critical not only for safety and compliance, but also for achieving measurable results under

LDAR for OGMP 2.0 As the oil and gas industry faces mounting pressure to reduce methane emissions, LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) programs are under the spotlight—especially in the context of OGMP 2.0 and new EU methane regulations. In this article, we explore how LDAR fits into the OGMP framework, what compliance means in the

What is a Methane Emissions Baseline? As oil and gas companies work to meet new methane regulations and climate goals, one foundational step becomes essential: establishing a methane emissions baseline. This baseline provides a benchmark for evaluating progress, identifying high-emitting assets, and measuring the impact of mitigation strategies over time. A well-documented methane emissions baseline

What is OGMP 2.0? Reducing methane emissions is one of the most effective ways to slow the pace of global warming. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with over 80 times the warming potential of CO₂ over a 20-year period. Recognizing this, oil and gas companies worldwide are under increasing pressure to quantify, monitor, and

Vented Emissions Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a top priority in the oil and gas sector, and the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 framework places significant emphasis on capturing all forms of methane emissions—including those that are intentional. While fugitive emissions are accidental, another major contributor is vented emissions, which are deliberately released
