The Highwood Bulletin 077
This month in the Highwood Bulletin, I bring you methane drama from satellites to summit rooms, with fewer leaks and more acronyms than ever before. From Chevron’s sky-patrolling robots to Alberta’s multi-million-dollar tech bets, and from space-era snags to EU export headaches, it’s a big month for anyone trying to track, report, or just spell OGMP 2.0 correctly.
A tale of two continents – Insights from CERAWeek and the Methane Mitigation Summit Europe
Between CERAWeek 2025, the Methane Mitigation Summit Europe, and recent industry discussions, leaders, regulators, and technology providers are faced with the same challenge: how do we transition from measurement to action in methane management? While Europe pushes forward with aggressive regulatory frameworks like the EU Methane Regulation (EUMR), North America faces a different reality—regulatory rollbacks, […]

This month in the Highwood Bulletin I cover our launch of EIP, EPA’s super-emitter program, EPA new technology approvals, PHMSA final rule, DOE’s MERP announcement, CDPHE’s top-down factor, Kazakhstan’s big leak, EPA under a new administration, NOJVs, and a new course on reconciliation by Jeff Rutherford. Thank you as always for reading and your support of Highwood. Highwood launches EIP software The O&G […]
Are you ready for this year’s OGMP 2.0 reporting?
Many operators are overwhelmed or confused by the 2024 Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 reporting deadlines. In a previous article, we talked about what happens after joining OGMP 2.0 and how Highwood can support in your existing inventory, measurement & technology strategy, data analysis & reconciliation, and reporting. In this article we discuss what your organization should prepare for this year. Whether […]
A story of adapting to a new era in methane accounting through collaboration and digital innovation
Quantifying and reporting methane emissions in a credible manner is one of the most complex challenges facing the oil and gas (O&G) sector. Generic bottom-up inventories – originally used for regulatory reporting – are being replaced with measurement-informed inventories (MIIs) that leverage company-specific data and often require comparing and combining distinct estimates in a process called reconciliation. A growing […]
Highwood Launches the Emissions Intelligence Platform (EIP)
Highwood Emissions Management is pleased to announce the launch of their Emissions Intelligence Platform (EIP), a software that streamlines complex measurement-informed methane emissions accounting and reporting for the oil and gas industry. “EIP closes the gap between measurement and action.” said Thomas Fox, President of Highwood. “It uses empirical data to not only achieve – but to prove – strong performance, maintaining investor […]
LNG Exporters Must Face EU Methane Rules Proactively
The EU’s groundbreaking methane regulations represent a major shift in the global energy landscape, creating challenges and opportunities for exporters, particularly LNG exporters targeting the European market. By mandating stringent monitoring, measurement, reporting, and verification (MMRV) standards, the regulations aim to reduce methane emissions and enhance transparency across the oil and gas supply chain. The new EU methane regulations were introduced in a previous Highwood […]
