The GMI Oil & Gas Subcommittee focuses on identifying and deploying practical and cost-effective methane mitigation technologies and practices. The Subcommittee’s objective is to reduce or eliminate emissions from oil and natural gas systems by encouraging collaboration between Partner Countries, Subcommittee members, and Project Network members. Through engagement, the Subcommittee aims to build capacity, develop strategies and markets, and remove technical and nontechnical barriers to methane mitigation project development. Ultimately, this support can increase environmental quality, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen the economy from additional methane brought to market.
For a complete list of available oil & gas resources, including technical documents, presentations, and tools, please visit the resources page.
This document presents introductory guidance on a pragmatic, integrated approach to identifying, evaluating, and advancing cost-effective, high-impact opportunities to manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy use at oil and natural gas facilities. The focus is primarily on key sources of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP). The primary audience for this document includes company managers, facility operators, and relevant service providers outside of North America (particularly where other regulatory guidance for GHG reductions and energy management may not be available).
This document is intended to be a resource for facility owners, operators and government policymakers. The purpose of this document is to provide information about cost-effective measures for detecting and mitigating methane emissions along the full oil and gas value chain at the company- and national-level. Guidance for developing and implementing practices for monitoring, reporting and verifying (MRV) methane emissions is also provided.

The European Gas Conference will take place in Vienna, Austria on 27-29 March 2023. During the conference, the group will assess the impact of the 2022/23 winter for Eastern and Western European gas markets and promote gas’ role on the journey to net-zero. The third day of the event will be complimented by the European Hydrogen Conference.
Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada (PTAC) is hosting the 2023 Methane Leadership Summit from 26-27 April 2023, at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, Alberta. This 2-day event will continue the momentum generated from the annual methane forum launched in 2018 and will bring together a multitude of stakeholder groups operating within the oil and gas industry, including government organizations, regulatory bodies, oil and gas producing companies, service and supply companies, research centers, and academic institutions, and will focus on the significant challenges facing the Canadian oil and gas industry related to methane emissions reductions targets.
The 5th Global Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Forum is an industry flagship event which gathers established industry experts and practitioners from different LNG sectors every year. Industry peers meet to share latest developments and challenges within their organizations, discuss future plans, technical solutions, and LNG market insights.
The Global Energy Show will take place in Calgary, Canada and will address how we will supply energy to the world, using a clean approach for our planet. There is a clear need to transform our energy systems to be more sustainable, but there is no consensus on timelines for our net zero goals. The conference will elevate the conversation around integrated energy systems while informing policy and trillion-dollar investment decisions that require a new way of thinking and reshaping of a diverse and integrated energy sector.
The SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) is the leading technical energy conference and exhibition for global E&P professionals. As the global energy map continues to shift, ATCE 2023 is focused on leading the discussions around innovation in energy and the technology developments that are building the upstream industry’s road to sustainable solutions and growth.
