This resource is the essential starting point for oil and gas methane policy. It guides policymakers through a step-by-step process determining what methane regulations are right for their jurisdictions. A shortened web version is available here.

This free-to-use portal shows methane emissions maps worldwide. Climate TRACE data comes from satellites and bottom-up estimation tools.

Drafted by an expert panel assembled by the Department of Commerce, this document outlines key steps for oil and gas methane abatement. It has been translated into several languages.

“The Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0) is the flagship oil and gas reporting and mitigation program of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). It is the only comprehensive, measurement-based international reporting framework for the sector.”

Methane intensity varies widely across the oil and gas sector. RMI’s free-to-use OCI+ mapping and data tool helps businesses and policymakers “assess and track emissions to see how different oils and gases impact climate change.”

This report details flaring and venting regulations across 21 oil and gas producing states and countries, from Colorado to Algeria.

This study sets out a framework for policymakers to assess opportunities to reduce flaring. It identifies barriers to investment and provides financial modeling for methane abatement.

The Methane Flaring Toolkit is an interactive platform that was developed by industry to provide “practical advice and information on the effective measurement and monitoring of methane emissions from gas flares in the oil and gas industry.”

Assembled by the World Bank Group, this detailed resource provides profiles of key flaring and venting regulations in countries worldwide.

This academic paper discusses the overall climate benefits of methane abatement and finds that available oil and gas methane abatement solutions “dominate” the avoided warming potential from economically feasible actions.

This set of 10 guides is designed to improve performance in methane emissions management across the natural gas supply chain. Each provides a summary of important strategies and technologies.

Released by the Environmental Defense Fund, this report highlights the “financial, regulatory, and reputational” risks associated with oil and gas methane emissions, along with the financial benefits of improved methane management.
