Whether you are thinking about OGMP 2.0, or already committed, Highwood helps you plan your path to Gold with confidence.

OGMP 2.0 is the United Nations Environment Programme’s flagship oil and gas reporting and mitigation programme. As the most comprehensive global methane framework available, OGMP has seen record growth and adoption, growing 86% from 2022-2023.

Tied to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, OGMP 2.0 provides global credibility on improving the accuracy and transparency of methane emissions reporting. Several aspects set OGMP 2.0 apart, including:

 

  • A rigorous focus on methane emissions
  • The use of multiple levels of reporting
  • The incorporation of both operated and non-operated assets
  • The establishment of custom company-specific emissions factors
  • The use of top-down measurement
  • The reconciliation of top-down measurement with bottom-up inventories
  • A requirement of continuous improvement, making it a very iterative approach to methane management.

Highwood's OGMP 2.0 Services Suite can set you up on the right path from the start, as well as help you through the annual performance cycle.

Why is effective planning for OGMP 2.0 important?

Preparedness
Should we join OGMP 2.0?

OGMP 2.0 encompasses a comprehensive methane reporting framework for the oil and gas industry, requiring the implementation of measurement-based technology using science-based measurement standards to achieve levels 4 and 5. The program requires member companies to reach the gold standard of methane reporting within three years for operated assets. Understand where you are starting from and what it will take to get there to inform your decision.

Implementation Efficiency
We've joined OGMP 2.0, now what?

OGMP 2.0 required meticulous consideration of technology options, sample size, deployment frequency, minimum specifications, population materiality, and site selection strategy. Strategically planning, deploying technology, and using the data effectively can pave the way for a streamlined progression through the levels, enabling companies to strategically implement measurement-based initiatives. Strategic and iterative technology deployment will put your organization on the path to OGMP 2.0 gold while achieving positive business outcomes, increased sustainability, operational efficiency, and potential cost savings.
