Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, with a Global Warming Potential over 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere over a twenty-year timeframe. Methane is responsible for about a quarter of today’s global warming (IPCC, 2013). If the world is to reach the 1.5°C (or even a 2°C) global temperature target, deep reductions in methane emissions must be achieved by 2030 as part of holistic efforts to meet climate goals under the Paris Agreement (IPCC, 2018). And because methane’s atmospheric lifespan is relatively short – 10 to 12 years – actions to reduce methane emissions can rapidly contribute to bend the curve away from dangerous warming, while also delivering air quality benefits.
The oil and gas sector is one of the largest man-made emission sources, estimated to be responsible for circa one-quarter of global anthropogenic methane emissions (IEA, 2020) The latest data shows that around 3.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas escaped into the atmosphere in 2012 from global oil and gas operations. This wasted gas translates into roughly $30 billion of lost revenue at average 2012 delivered prices, and about 3% of global natural gas production (EDF, 2015).
Join us in a series of webinars hosted by SPE, to receive a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of efforts being carried by leading O&G organizations to reduce methane emissions from the O&G industry. In collaboration with IOGP, OGCI, IPIECA, MGP and others, the series will cover a comprehensive set of topics, ranging from best practices available to voluntary mitigation efforts, the current status of policy & regulation to emerging technologies in detection and measurement-based quantification space. The webinars, in the form of lively dialogues between experts on methane emissions reductions in the O&G, will allow participants to ask and vote for the most relevant questions to be raised to the panelists.

Today is public data with limited resolution, and high-resolution private data, in the future the new satellites will bring new levels of transparency to methane emissions in both public and private domains.
In recent years great strides have been made in satellite detection of methane emissions. There are now a variety of satellites with a variety of methane sensors and detection capabilities in orbit and several more planned in coming years. Today is public data with limited resolution, and high-resolution private data, in the future the new satellites will bring new levels of transparency to methane emissions in both public and private domains.
We have assembled a distinguished and expert panel working in this field to present and discuss what is possible and the impact this can have on the rapid mitigation of methane emissions.
Duration: 1.5 Hours
This series of webinars between thought leaders on climate change in the O&G industry and the broader O&G industry around the world will be undertaken in an effort to deepen understanding around issues of climate change and receive feedback from the wider oil and gas industry on the energy transition. A series of virtual dialogues will be held over 2020 with global scope, to discuss sustainability around key topics such as CCUS, reducing methane emissions, collaborative action, etc.
This webinar is categorized under the Health, Safety, Environment, and Sustainability SPE discipline

This webinar introduces the policy context and the voluntary efforts from the O&G industry to reduce methane emissions.
Tackling methane emissions across the full natural gas value chain requires international cooperation among industries, governments, civil society and NGOs. This webinar introduces the policy context and the voluntary efforts from the O&G industry to reduce methane emissions. The session will review two of the leading initiatives for methane emission reporting (OGMP2.0) and country-level target setting (GMA). In a third phase, OGCI will present its near-zero intensity target by 2025, progress to date, and broader support to engage with the rest of the Natural Gas value chain to reduce methane emissions. The session concludes with a Q&A with the audience.

The session will start with an overview of technologies available to the industry, and will then be followed by practical examples of solutions offered by service providers in the space.
The private sector has a considerable role to play in supporting the development, testing & deployment of methane detection, measurement and mitigation technologies. In the third webinar of the SPE Climate Series, join us to review incumbent and emerging technologies to reduce methane emissions. The session will start with an overview of technologies available to the industry, and will then be followed by practical examples of solutions offered by service providers in the space. From the financial perspective, OGCI Climate Investments will present its recently announced 2020 call for investments for projects reducing methane emissions. The session will conclude in a panel discussion on the role of the private sector to support such technologies, as well as barriers and opportunities for rapid mitigation action. We are now planning a separate session on satellites, so we will move the opportunity for GHGsat, Kayrros and others to speak to that event.
