Challenge
For international oil companies and NOCs, methane emissions have historically been unregulated and underreported, limiting the visibility of emissions performance. OGMP 2.0 offers a framework to quantify, verify, and report methane emissions, encouraging companies to establish a measurement-informed inventory. However, moving from basic emissions factors to advanced site-level monitoring, particularly in non-regulated environments, is a complex process that demands accurate, transparent data to differentiate lower-emissions gas in the international market.
Insight
OGMP 2.0 sets a “gold standard” for methane reporting, progressing through five levels of detail. Levels 4 and 5, in particular, require specific, granular source-level measurements, and Level 5 includes comprehensive site-level monitoring for accurate reconciliation. By aligning with OGMP 2.0, companies can not only demonstrate leadership in methane reduction but also create market differentiation by offering “low-emissions” gas verified through credible, measurement-based methods. Establishing such a system builds confidence with stakeholders, enhances transparency, and supports participation in voluntary markets and initiatives.
The SensorUp Solution
SensorUp’s platform simplifies the transition to OGMP 2.0 compliance by providing a scalable, centralized emissions monitoring system that supports all reporting levels and integrates advanced data verification
- Progressive, Source-Level Monitoring: SensorUp enables detailed emissions tracking from source-level to site-level. This progression allows companies to meet Levels 3, 4, and 5 OGMP requirements, using advanced sensor integration and specific emissions factors (EFs) and activity factors (AFs) that improve accuracy and support compliance.
- Streamlined Reporting and Transparent Data Reconciliation: SensorUp’s platform automatically aggregates data for source-level reporting and integrates site-level measurements, supporting reconciliation between different measurement types (required for Level 5). This automated reporting aligns with OGMP’s “gold standard,” producing audit-ready records that demonstrate emissions reductions and facilitate stakeholder transparency..
- Real-Time Data for Differentiation in Voluntary Markets: With SensorUp, operators can manage data from diverse sources—such as operational meters, drones, satellites, and ground sensors—and showcase consistent, verifiable insights to confirm low methane intensity. This capability positions companies to validate low-emissions gas, leveraging OGMP’s credible framework to meet international buyers’ demands for cleaner energy options.
The SensorUp Solution
By leveraging SensorUp, companies can build a robust, OGMP-compliant inventory that reflects true emissions performance. This positions oil and gas operators to engage in voluntary markets, support transparency, and differentiate their gas as “low-emissions,” enhancing market credibility while contributing to global methane reduction goals
