Description

IOGP, together with industry associations the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), and Ipieca, have released a recommended practices guide to help operators select and deploy methane detection and quantification technologies.

Report 661 provides criteria that operators can consider in selecting technology, guidance on technology deployment, and examples of operators’ experiences with different technology combinations. This Recommended Practice provides the user with a framework on how to implement combinations of measurement, detection, and quantification technologies at onshore and offshore assets to facilitate improved methane management and emissions reporting.

An online technology filtering tool, detailed technology data sheets covering over 50 technologies, and decision trees to guide technology deployment have also been developed alongside the Report.
