Accurate reconciliation of emissions data remains a complex challenge for the industry yet is a cornerstone of OGMP 2.0 L5 which is widely regarded as the gold standard for reporting and quantification. This workshop will dive into the technicalities of the process and leave you better equipped to implement best-practice within your own operations.

Join this workshop to:

• Identify best practices to reconcile source-level inventories with site-level data and how to lower the uncertainty of your stated values
• Understand and address discrepancies between bottom-up and top-down measurement approaches
• Learn strategies for integrating diverse data sources, including continuous monitoring systems and aerial surveys
• Hear techniques for quantifying and reducing uncertainty in methane emissions reporting
• Learn from leading operator case studies that showcase successful reconciliation methods

·       Conduct a techno-economic analysis of available solutions, what solutions can be deployed at a negative net cost?

·       Evaluate investment in waste to energy programs to convert fugitive emissions into a valuable product and reduce wider business costs

·       Consider the interplay between long-term technology investment and rapidly changing regulation. What investments are truly viable?

·       Assess the future of the energy landscape, how does methane mitigation fit into the broader transition to sustainable energy sources?

·       Techniques for reducing pipeline pressure before blowdowns and utilizing low-pressure systems to minimize methane release

·       Developing mindful operating procedures and training programs to ensure consistent implementation of emission reduction practices across pipeline networks

·       Implementing systems to route gas from blowdowns to compressors or capture systems for beneficial use
