Preparing for the EU 2025 LDAR and Reporting Deadlines

Preparing for the EU 2025 LDAR and Reporting Deadlines

As the EU makes important strides to curb methane emissions, the recently enacted EU 2024/1787 regulation outlines stringent guidelines for operators across Europe. By May 5, 2025, operators must submit a Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) program detailing the measurement technologies, timelines for measurements, and the planned methodologies. Additionally, in 2025, operators are required to complete Type 2 measurements for all assets, alongside annual LDAR and Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) reports.

We spoke with Brandon Locke, Europe Policy Manager for Methane, Clean Air Task Force, and Cristina Lopez, Research and Development (R&D) Engineer, GRTgaz, to better understand the regulatory requirements and the challenges that lie ahead for Europe's oil and gas operators.

This interview will provide you with insights into:

  • Navigating these regulatory changes as the first reporting deadline in May 2025 approaches
  • Employing best practices in training and cost management to align with ambitions EU targets
  • Leveraging technology to meet regulatory, voluntary, and company-specific goals
Reflecting on COP28 Methane Mitigation Outcomes with OGMP 2.0

Reflecting on COP28 Methane Mitigation Outcomes with OGMP 2.0

In this episode of Methane Talks, we are joined by Giulia Ferrini, OGMP 2.0 Programme Manager. Giulia works with the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) to provide coordination and strategic support to an international facility aimed at facilitating climate technology transfer to developing countries. She also supports the development and scaling-up of a multi-stakeholder partnerships committed to accelerate efforts to reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants.

Listen as she shares the key methane mitigation commitments to come out of COP28 and how the OGMP 2.0 can help operators honor these commitments.

Navigating the Regulatory Landscape in Europe with IOGP

Navigating the Regulatory Landscape in Europe with IOGP

Ahead of the Methane Mitigation Europe Summit and COP-28, we sat down with Emils Lagzdins, Senior Policy Officer at IOGP to discuss how to navigate the regulatory landscape in Europe.

In the interview, Emails shares his insights on the new methane reduction regulation in the EU, its impact on the oil and gas industry, and his predictions for the outcomes of COP28, in an exclusive episode of the leading podcast, Methane Talks.

For nearly 50 years, IOGP (International Association of Oil & Gas Producers) have shared expertise and best practices in safety, health, environment, engineering, and now, energy transition. Emils has spent the last three years with IOGP in Brussels, engaging with the upstream oil and gas industry, EU institutions, and other stakeholders on issues such as the EU Methane Regulation, carbon markets, and security of supply.

Sustainable Investments and the Role of ‘Financial Institutions' in the Oil and Gas Industry

Sustainable Investments and the Role of ‘Financial Institutions' in the Oil and Gas Industry

In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, the finance sector is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by the need for responsible investments. As the global community grapples with the urgent challenges of climate change, the role of 'Financial Institutions' has taken center stage in steering the course towards more sustainable global economies.

David Carlin, Head of Risk at the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) plays a pivotal role in assessing the risks and impacts of climate change on organizations and their clients as well as helping institutions prepare for climate-associated challenges to ensure a smooth transition towards sustainability.

David joins us ahead of his panel at the Methane Mitigation Europe Summit, taking place in Amsterdam, 12-14 February, 2024, on ‘the critical role of financial institutions in reducing methane emissions’, to elaborate on the evolving landscape of finance and the role financial institutions like the UNEP FI play in driving environmentally responsible investments.

Surveying The Methane Emissions Technology Landscape: A 4-Step Buyer’s Framework

Surveying The Methane Emissions Technology Landscape: A 4-Step Buyer’s Framework

Methane detection and measurement technology has improved considerably in recent years. New technologies offer improvements in detection limits, accuracy, and continuous monitoring of emissions. They have also made the job of identifying and procuring methane mitigation and measurement technology more difficult. Industry professionals must survey a bewildering array of options – some emerging and unproven in production environments.

This exclusive report, ‘Surveying The Methane Emissions Technology Landscape’, provides a high-level framework for oil and gas professionals responsible for selecting and procuring methane detection and mitigation technology for their organization.

Discover the four steps operators can take to identify the right mix of methane measurement and detection technology, and gain valuable insights from live polling research and shared knowledge from field experts and institutions including, OGMP 2.0, the EPA, University of Colorado’s METEC Facility, Chevron, Civitas Resources, BPx and many more.

OGMP 2.0 and the Global Imperative to Mitigate Methane Emissions

OGMP 2.0 and the Global Imperative to Mitigate Methane Emissions

In 2014, the United Nations Environment Program launched the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) to tackle the challenge of methane emissions in that industry. Since then, additional organizations and reporting initiatives have sprung up to add to the growing body of knowledge about the effects of methane emissions and methods to reduce them.

One of the key initiatives is OGMP 2.0“OGMP 2.0 is, now, the most comprehensive and advanced measurement-based reporting initiative in the world, with almost 100 member companies.” It counts many oil and gas companies, such as BP, Shell, and Equinor, among its members.

In this interview, Giulia Ferrini, OGMP 2.0 Program Manager, discusses the changing landscape for methane mitigation, the key areas companies looking to mitigate methane emissions should focus on, how member companies can get more out of their relationship with OGMP 2.0, and exciting updates to the framework.

Preparing for New EU Regulations on Methane Emissions

Preparing for New EU Regulations on Methane Emissions

The European Commission has been working on a new set of rules on methane reduction in the energy sector. The proposal is expected to introduce new requirements on measurement, reporting and verification of methane emissions, restrictions on flaring and venting, and an increase in transparency on methane emissions associated with fossil fuel imports.

How can European oil and gas operators prepare for the new legislation?

Ahead of Methane Mitigation Europe, we caught up with Conference Chair and Speaker, Andris Piebalgs, Professor at the European University Institute and former European Energy Commissioner, about what the new proposals will mean for the energy industry, where they stand today, and how to prepare for these proposals.

5 Ways Oil & Gas Companies Can Reduce Methane Emissions

5 Ways Oil & Gas Companies Can Reduce Methane Emissions

Methane emissions are firmly in the crosshairs of politicians and regulators. The gas, which is often released as a by-product of oil extraction, is estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to be more than 80 times more potent than C02 over a period of 20 years.

In this exclusive report, '5 Ways Oil and Gas Companies Can Reduce Methane Emissions' we take a look at how TotalEnergies, BP, BPX Energy, Shell, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, and ExxonMobil are reducing methane emissions, highlight 5 ways oil and gas companies can mitigate methane emissions, and explore TotalEnergies approach to reducing the methane intensity in existing and new production assets, in an exclusive interview with David Mendelson, SVP of Exploration and Production at TotalEnergies. David also shares his thoughts on the energy transition and how the company folds emissions reduction into its daily operations.
