We are dedicated to identifying and spreading good environmental practice wherever the upstream industry operates.

Methane emissions detection and quantification

IOGP and our Members recognize that reducing methane emissions from our industry is a critical step in decarbonizing energy production.

Environmental management

This report provides a detailed overview of environmental management practices in the upstream oil and gas industry.

Environmental performance indicators

Our environmental performance database represents about one-third of known hydrocarbon production

Seismic surveys and marine mammals

Sound is important to marine mammals. Even low levels of sound, made by humans or from other sources, has been shown to elicit a wide variety of responses as might be expected for intelligent animals with excellent hearing.

Underwater Sound Research Database

This database helps to inform underwater sound Environmental Impact Assessment studies associated with exploration and production activities.

Joint Industry Programmes

IOGP manages a number of Environmental Joint Industry Programmes

E&P Sound & Marine Life JIP

The Joint Industry Programme (JIP) supports research to help increase understanding of the effect of sound on marine life generated by oil and gas exploration and production activities.

Environmental genomics research programme

Coordinating research aimed at exploring the application of eDNA-based analyses in environmental assessments and monitoring of oil and gas offshore and onshore operations.
