4:20 PM The Next Chapter of OGMP 2.0: Connecting Reporting, Verification & Credible Methane Performance

• Explore how OGMP 2.0 reporting and independent verification can work together to strengthen confidence in methane performance.
• Understand what this evolving collaboration could mean in practice for operators and OGMP members moving into 2027.
• Examine where greater alignment between measurement, reporting and verification can reduce complexity and strengthen credibility across the value chain.
• Consider how this can support operators in translating methane performance into a more credible story for customers, investors and other commercial stakeholders.
• Look ahead at how the model could evolve as expectations around verified methane performance continue to develop.

Agenda Day 3 - Thursday, December 3

3:10 PM The Data Centre Effect: How AI-Driven Energy Demand Is Rewriting the Business Case for Methane Management

The rapid expansion of data centres is reshaping energy demand and creating new commercial considerations for natural gas producers. As technology companies and infrastructure developers face growing pressure to demonstrate responsible energy sourcing, methane performance and credible environmental assurance could become increasingly important in determining which energy suppliers are best positioned to capture this emerging demand.

This session explores how the data centre boom is changing the commercial value of methane management, and why credible emissions performance and independent ESG assurance could become increasingly important in connecting natural gas supply with the next generation of energy infrastructure.

Key takeaways:
- Examine how accelerating data centre and AI-driven energy demand is creating new commercial opportunities – and expectations – for natural gas producers.
- Explore how methane intensity, emissions transparency and independently verified performance could influence energy procurement decisions and supplier differentiation.
- Understand the growing importance of credible ESG assurance in addressing community concerns, strengthening stakeholder confidence and securing support for new energy infrastructure.
- Identify how oil and gas companies can position their methane management programmes to capture emerging opportunities in the data centre energy supply chain.
