The EU Methane Regulation is now in force, introducing binding requirements that will reshape the global gas and oil export landscape. As implementation progresses, requirements are intensifying—including a mandate that both natural gas and oil destined for the EU market demonstrate robust MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) practices equivalent to those required of EU domestic production. Furthermore, exported volumes must undergo independent third-party verification to a level of reasonable assurance.

This workshop is designed to support operators in navigating this evolving compliance environment. We will examine the regulatory implications already in play, discuss the tools and protocols being developed to facilitate credible reporting and verification engagements, and address key operational and commercial challenges. Topics will include:

• The current and emerging requirements of the EUMR for producers and exporters
• Expectations from buyers regarding methane data quality and third-party verification
• Practical solutions for meeting MRV equivalency and verification obligations without overextending resources
• Strategic approaches to integrating compliance into broader commercial and ESG objectives
• In-development protocols and methodologies to support credible, verifiable reporting across the value chain
