OGMP 2.0​: Methane Emissions Reporting​

The Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0) is a flagship initiative of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) that focuses on reporting and mitigating methane emissions in the oil and gas industry.  

As the only comprehensive, measurement-based international reporting framework for this sector, OGMP 2.0 sets the gold standard for methane emissions reporting. Its goal is to enhance accuracy and transparency in the fight against climate change. 

What we offer 

- Advisory services on methane emissions reporting for all assets: We carry out a gap analysis to assess the current state of methane emissions from assets. We then either create an emission inventory database or check the existing one advising our clients on the best set of emission factors to use for the estimation. According to emissions materiality, we create a roadmap towards achieving the Gold Standard. Finally, we develop recommendations on the best methane measurement methods, including reduction targets. 

- Source-level emissions measurements: We provide precise quantification of methane emissions through field measurements, ensuring data accuracy and reliability and according to the specific emission source under investigation (Venting, Stationary Combustion, Flaring, Fugitives or else). 

- Methane emissions quantification through computational process simulation and engineering calculations: We can provide highly accurate methane emissions estimations using fluid dynamics simulations and engineering calculations which better fit the individual types of equipment. On completion of the analysis, we can also highlight operational strengths or weaknesses, identifying opportunities for better control and helping reduce both methane emissions and operational costs. 

- Site-level measurements and data analysis: We carry out measurement of emissions at the facility level, selecting the most suitable technology for the job. We then conduct statistical and comparative analyses on the acquired data in order to properly pin-point emissions at the equipment group level, assess uncertainty  and detect the causes of any discrepancies between source-level and site-level datasets.  

- Proper report completion and submission according to OGMP 2.0 technical guidelines: We can assist the company in completing all relevant reports and templates to periodically submit to UNEP- OGMP, summarizing all inventoried methane emissions and providing information on methane emission reduction objectives, strategies, and efforts. 

Why RINA? 

- We offer a variety of engineering services ensuring the right experience and multiple points of view on the assessment of the methane emissions generated by the investigated assets.
