Upstream Oil and Gas Operations
Blowdown capture
Prioritise gas capture and allow venting and flaring only in case of emergency and flaring only under ambitious efficiency standards.
Methane project
Driving sustainable change with cost-efficient emission reductions in developing countries
every action counts
How we make an impact
Methane project is a non-profit organization working to accelerate the net zero emission target. Here is how we focus our time and resources
Upstream Oil and Gas Operations
Production & processing LDAR
Comprehensive leak detection and repair program, on-site staff training and the utilisation of advanced equipment.
Downstream Gas Operations
Transmission & distribution LDAR
Rapid-response teams to pinpoint and remedy leaks across extensive gas distribution networks.
Emissions from Oil and Gas Operations in Net Zero Transitions
Technologies and measures to prevent methane emissions from oil and gas operations are well known and have already been deployed in multiple locations around the world. Key examples include leak detection and repair campaigns, installing emissions control devices, and replacing components that emit methane by design. Almost all available abatement measures cost less than USD 20/t CO2-eq to deploy – and most would cost considerably less – meaning that mitigating methane emissions is amongst the lowest cost option of any technology that can bring about a step-change in global GHG emissions.
