Welcome to the Methane Mitigation: Technology & Innovation World Summit
Where Technical Excellence Meets Strategic Leadership: Aligning Emissions Reduction with Business Performance
Where Technical Excellence Meets Strategic Leadership: Aligning Emissions Reduction with Business Performance
Building a durable and commercially-sound business case for methane management amongst regulatory uncertainty
Methane has moved from the margins of environmental reporting to the center of commercial strategy, investment decisions, and organizational performance. For senior leaders, the opportunity now extends far beyond compliance: methane performance is influencing OPEX discipline, asset valuations, insurance risk, buyer expectations, and long‑term access to global markets. At the same time, leadership teams are being asked to drive cultural alignment, build credible measurement systems, and position their organizations for a future where low‑methane product differentiation is real, investable, and commercially rewarded.
This shift is unfolding against a backdrop of policy flux and mismatched state, federal, and international requirements, creating uncertainty for operators navigating competing frameworks. As regulatory expectations evolve, organizations need forward‑thinking strategies that are durable, resilient, and capable of withstanding change, ensuring today’s investments remain relevant tomorrow.
If your priorities include protecting market access, strengthening investor and insurer confidence, reducing operating cost, and positioning for credible low‑methane premiums, you’ll gain the clarity, cross‑functional alignment, and peer benchmarks to act decisively.
Closing the MRV Gap: Choosing the Right Path and Shaping What Comes Next
Between compliance requirements and voluntary initiatives like Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0) and MiQ, operators face a growing set of MRV options, each with different cost, rigor, and market implications.The challenge is no longer whether to measure, but which frameworks best align with your asset base, commercial exposure, and long-term strategy.
At this summit, you’ll engage with operators, regulators, and certification bodies to:
- Evaluate the trade-offs between competing MRV approaches
- Reduce duplicative reporting burdens
- Benchmark against peer approaches
- Understand how compliance and certification pathways intersect
- Contribute to the broader dialogue on moving toward more comparable national and international standards which allows for apple-with-apples comparison
Making Methane a Market Advantage: Building the Infrastructure for Commercial Value
Methane reduction is increasingly tied to operational efficiency, capital discipline, and access to key markets. As OPEX savings from leak prevention become more visible and low‑methane standards begin to shape buyer expectations, particularly in export markets influenced by the European Union, as well as emerging insurance and shareholder pressures, the opportunity shifts from simply meeting requirements to using methane performance as a competitive differentiator.
At the summit, explore how to:
- Connect verified performance to commercial differentiation
- Align MRV systems with investor and insurance expectations
- Help build the infrastructure for a credible premium low-methane market
Culture, Collaboration & Leadership: The Human Engine Behind Methane Success
Technology delivers the tools, but people and cross-functional alignment deliver results. As methane programs become increasingly data-rich many organizations remain data poor and cross functionally demanding as organizations are exposed to legal and contractual risks. Data literacy across IT, Operations, Finance, Legal and ESG is now critical to turning measurement into efficiency, accountability, and strategic decisions.
Attend to learn how leaders are:
- Bridging silos between functions
- Elevating data literacy beyond environmental teams
- Connecting methane data to operational efficiency and capital allocation
- Embedding accountability from field to executive level
Building Measurement-Informed Inventories: From Data to Decision-Making
You have more data than ever but turning fragmented streams into decision-ready intelligence remains the real challenge.
As technologies multiply, the focus shifts to integration: aggregating diverse inputs into unified systems that strengthen internal decisions and withstand external scrutiny.
Join this discussion to examine:
- Standardizing uncertainty across measurement sources
- Integrating new platforms with legacy SCADA systems
- Identifying where abatement investments deliver the highest operational return
- Developing best-Practice for reconciling data sets
Case Study: Building a Business Case for Methane Management: Beyond the Regulatory Stick
- Demonstrate how the operator quantified the financial value of methane reduction
- Showcase how emissions data, source attribution, and uncertainty analysis were used to target high-impact sites and justify tech investment
- Explain how various functions aligned on ROI, risk mitigation, and capital allocation in the absence of clear regulatory mandates.
- Highlight how voluntary initiatives, certification, and disclosures factored into the company’s strategy for investor confidence, commercial differentiation, and market access
Panel: Life After GHGRP: Inside the New Reality of U.S. Methane Measurement & Reporting
- Analyze how U.S. operators are reporting methane performance in sustainability reports and investor disclosures in the absence of GHGRP
- Discuss how methane is being measured, quantified, and validated internally as companies build new MRV systems without a federal baseline
- Evaluate why operators are choosing to participate—or not—in voluntary frameworks such as OGMP 2.0, MiQ, or One Future, and how these decisions affect market access and commercial positioning
Workshop L: Building the Business Case: Driving Cultural Buy-In for Emissions Management Across Leadership and Operations
When it comes to emissions management, the challenge isn’t just technical, it’s cultural. Matt Garner, VP at Expand Energy, knows this better than anyone. Sitting at the crossroads of board-level strategy, investor expectations, and frontline operations, Matt’s job is to make sure everyone speaks the same language on methane management. From quarterly emissions reviews to aligning MAC curve projects with net-zero goals, he’s learned that success depends on more than data, it depends on people. This workshop dives into how operators can rally leadership and field teams around a shared vision, turning emissions management into a core part of business culture, KPIs, and operational integrity.
Explore our 15+ case studies to help you evaluate reporting approaches, assess whether voluntary frameworks make sense for your business, explore emerging market incentives, and design internal structures for effective methane management amid regulatory uncertainty.
