As methane emissions gain increasing scrutiny, financial institutions, investors, and insurers are integrating emissions performance into their decision-making processes. The oil and gas industry must understand the evolving criteria that influence capital allocation, underwriting decisions, and risk assessments. With an estimated $100 billion investment needed by 2030 to deploy all necessary methane abatement measures, collaboration between the financial sector and industry is essential to align investment strategies with emissions reduction goals.

• Understand the criteria and metrics used to assess investment and financing opportunities
• Gain insight into underwriting considerations and available financial instruments to support methane reduction efforts
• Explore how investors view methane mitigation not just as risk management but as a driver of long-term value creation
• Discuss strategies for improving investor and insurer confidence in emissions reporting and reduction plans
• Examine what methane-related data financial institutions rely on today—and what they will require in the future

• Temporal Variability: How surface casing vent flow rates change over time in low-leaking wells and the challenges this poses
• Low Leakers & Source Depth: Differentiating low-leaking wells, identifying source depth, and addressing monitoring and remediation challenges
• Emissions Estimation: The role of temporal variability in improving emissions estimates from low-leaking wells
• Environmental & Safety Impacts: Assessing risks and consequences of low-leaking wells
• Solutions & Remediation: Effective strategies for managing and mitigating surface casing vent flow

The pressure to comply with regulations and achieve ambitious reduction targets, all while maintaining operational efficiency and profitability is real, creating a clear mandate for building a strong business case. This panel will explore how to quantify the financial benefits, assess return on investment, and identify cost-effective solutions that drive both regulatory compliance and long-term business value that can be communicated up and down the organizational ladder.
