What is the best way to approach and strategize for compliance in light of new/upcoming regulation? How do you prioritize reduction efforts and compliance considerations among other organizational needs and demands? What are the key considerations companies should take into account when assessing new technologies amidst a rapidly changing regulatory environment?

We caught up with Jay Thanki, Systems Engineer at TC Energy, who answers all these questions and more in this in-depth interview. Explore TC Energy's approach to regulatory compliance and reduction efforts, drawing inspiration from industries beyond the oil and gas sector, in our exclusive interview.

Seeking to achieve independent certification of natural gas production, Northeast Natural Energy is the first U.S. natural gas producer to receive the EO100™ certification and the first company in the Appalachian region to achieve an "A" rating from MiQ for almost its entire production. An "A" rating signifies a methane intensity of 0.05% or less, along with the highest scores in company practices and the use of monitoring technology.

MiQ is a global leader in emissions certification, and offers a market-based approach to rapidly reduce methane emissions across the natural gas sector.

In this exclusive interview, B.J. Carney, Vice President Geoscience & Innovation at Northeast Natural Energy shares how reporting requirements for MiQ align with the US’s newly proposed methane regulation and offers best practice advice for other operators facing challenges similar to NNE in emissions data management and compliance.

In this episode of Methane Talks, we are joined by Methane Emissions Leadership Aliiance's (MELA’s) Director, Jackson Hegland, along with Executive Director, Blake Wickland.

Listen as Jackson and Blake share years of industry knowledge and expertise on Canada’s methane mitigation landscape and the considerations you need to keep in mind when developing tech for use in this environment. 

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Calgary, the Methane Emissions Leadership Alliance (MELA) serves the oil & natural gas production, processing, and transmission sector, acting as a hub for businesses that offer innovative and accessible solutions to methane emissions reductions. Working in collaboration with federal and provincial governments and regulators to design policies and regulatory mechanisms, MELA aims to create a comprehensive methane emissions management plan with over 40 member companies.

Jackson graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Environmental Economics and is President and CEO of the Modern West Group of Companies, which includes Modern West Advisory, one of Canada’s leading ESG and carbon management strategic advisory firms (GHG emissions accounting, carbon markets, life-cycle analysis, ESG strategy, reporting and scenario analysis), and the Modern West Climate Finance Group, an investment vehicle for nature-based carbon removal projects and clean technology.

Meanwhile, Mr. Wickland serves as the Executive Director of MELA and is the founder of Elevation Energy Consulting in Alberta, Canada. With a unique combination of field and corporate office experience in the energy sector for the past 29 years across several global jurisdictions, he has held numerous positions focused on fieldwork, project management, quality control, operations, executive leadership, and emissions reduction.

Canada’s federal government is expected to release new regulations later this year to strengthen its regulations around methane emissions. Any new regulation will require accurate and reliable data on methane emissions sources.

So, how can current methane emissions measurement practices and technologies be improved?

Ahead of the Methane Mitigation Canada Summit, we caught up with Jonathan Bryan, Technical Director at NGIF Emissions Testing Centre, to discuss the challenges he sees with current practices and technology, and how operators can address them. NGIF Emissions Testing Centre is a branch of the Alberta-based NGIF, a clean-tech venture capital fund. The centre offers cleantech startups an opportunity to test their innovations in live industrial gas operations.

In this interview, Jonathon Bryan discusses his work at the NGIF Emissions Testing Centre and offers his advice to operators looking to determine the optimal mix of technologies.

The Methane Mitigation Summit Series has welcomed over 900 oil & gas professionals, NGOs, government representatives, academics, and leading technology providers from across the globe, over the last 12 months.

With insights from TotalEnergies, BP, Petrobras, Petronas, OGMP, Cheniere, Equinor, Chevron, DOE, Shell, JP Morgan, and so many more, the events saw an immersive exploration of the most pressing issues and opportunities facing Methane Mitigation leaders across the world.

In this report, we take a look at some of the key stats and insights from the series, and sessions that have taken place since the first event in December 2022.

When emissions from the oil and gas industry generally account for approximately 98% of total fugitive emissions in Canada, it is worth asking, is Canada on track to meet its ambitious goals of reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector by at least 75% by 2030, compared to 2012 levels?

Ahead of the Methane Mitigation Canada Summit we sat down with Marc D’Iorio, Assistant Deputy Minister - Science and Technology at Environment and Climate Change Canada (Government of Canada) to find out.

In this interview, Marc D’Iorio provides insight into new regulations that are due later this year and discusses the challenges of reconciling bottom-up and top-down methane inventories from oil and natural gas production.

Marc also offers his advice to operators looking to get ahead of the regulatory curve, and shares the particular technologies that he sees playing a key role in the years ahead to quantify methane emission inventories.

Methane detection and measurement technology has improved considerably in recent years. New technologies offer improvements in detection limits, accuracy, and continuous monitoring of emissions. They have also made the job of identifying and procuring methane mitigation and measurement technology more difficult. Industry professionals must survey a bewildering array of options – some emerging and unproven in production environments.

This exclusive report, ‘Surveying The Methane Emissions Technology Landscape’, provides a high-level framework for oil and gas professionals responsible for selecting and procuring methane detection and mitigation technology for their organization.

Discover the four steps operators can take to identify the right mix of methane measurement and detection technology, and gain valuable insights from live polling research and shared knowledge from field experts and institutions including, OGMP 2.0, the EPA, University of Colorado’s METEC Facility, Chevron, Civitas Resources, BPx and many more.
