An Operator’s Guide to Regulatory Compliance in Canada’s Oil & Gas Sector

An Operator’s Guide to Regulatory Compliance in Canada’s Oil & Gas Sector

What is the best way to approach and strategize for compliance in light of new/upcoming regulation? How do you prioritize reduction efforts and compliance considerations among other organizational needs and demands? What are the key considerations companies should take into account when assessing new technologies amidst a rapidly changing regulatory environment?

We caught up with Jay Thanki, Systems Engineer at TC Energy, who answers all these questions and more in this in-depth interview. Explore TC Energy's approach to regulatory compliance and reduction efforts, drawing inspiration from industries beyond the oil and gas sector, in our exclusive interview.

How Northeast Natural Energy Achieved an “A” Grading from MiQ

How Northeast Natural Energy Achieved an “A” Grading from MiQ

Seeking to achieve independent certification of natural gas production, Northeast Natural Energy is the first U.S. natural gas producer to receive the EO100™ certification and the first company in the Appalachian region to achieve an "A" rating from MiQ for almost its entire production. An "A" rating signifies a methane intensity of 0.05% or less, along with the highest scores in company practices and the use of monitoring technology.

MiQ is a global leader in emissions certification, and offers a market-based approach to rapidly reduce methane emissions across the natural gas sector.

In this exclusive interview, B.J. Carney, Vice President Geoscience & Innovation at Northeast Natural Energy shares how reporting requirements for MiQ align with the US’s newly proposed methane regulation and offers best practice advice for other operators facing challenges similar to NNE in emissions data management and compliance.

Improving Methane Measurement Practices and Technology in Canada's Oil and Gas Industry

Improving Methane Measurement Practices and Technology in Canada's Oil and Gas Industry

Canada’s federal government is expected to release new regulations later this year to strengthen its regulations around methane emissions. Any new regulation will require accurate and reliable data on methane emissions sources.

So, how can current methane emissions measurement practices and technologies be improved?

Ahead of the Methane Mitigation Canada Summit, we caught up with Jonathan Bryan, Technical Director at NGIF Emissions Testing Centre, to discuss the challenges he sees with current practices and technology, and how operators can address them. NGIF Emissions Testing Centre is a branch of the Alberta-based NGIF, a clean-tech venture capital fund. The centre offers cleantech startups an opportunity to test their innovations in live industrial gas operations.

In this interview, Jonathon Bryan discusses his work at the NGIF Emissions Testing Centre and offers his advice to operators looking to determine the optimal mix of technologies.

How Canada is Approaching the Challenge of Methane Emissions

How Canada is Approaching the Challenge of Methane Emissions

When emissions from the oil and gas industry generally account for approximately 98% of total fugitive emissions in Canada, it is worth asking, is Canada on track to meet its ambitious goals of reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector by at least 75% by 2030, compared to 2012 levels?

Ahead of the Methane Mitigation Canada Summit we sat down with Marc D’Iorio, Assistant Deputy Minister - Science and Technology at Environment and Climate Change Canada (Government of Canada) to find out.

In this interview, Marc D’Iorio provides insight into new regulations that are due later this year and discusses the challenges of reconciling bottom-up and top-down methane inventories from oil and natural gas production.

Marc also offers his advice to operators looking to get ahead of the regulatory curve, and shares the particular technologies that he sees playing a key role in the years ahead to quantify methane emission inventories.
