Adopted in April 2018, the Action Plan provides a framework for projects and activities of the Oil & Gas Subcommittee
The International Energy Agency (IEA), which often collaborates with GMI, provides an online tool that tracks oil and gas-related sources of methane

The GMI Oil & Gas Subcommittee focuses on identifying and deploying practical and cost-effective methane mitigation technologies and practices. The Subcommittee’s objective is to reduce or eliminate emissions from oil and natural gas systems by encouraging collaboration between Partner Countries, Subcommittee members, and Project Network members. Through engagement, the Subcommittee aims to build capacity, develop strategies and markets, and remove technical and nontechnical barriers to methane mitigation project development. Ultimately, this support can increase environmental quality, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen the economy from additional methane brought to market.

This document presents introductory guidance on a pragmatic, integrated approach to identifying, evaluating, and advancing cost-effective, high-impact opportunities to manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy use at oil and natural gas facilities. The focus is primarily on key sources of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP). The primary audience for this document includes company managers, facility operators, and relevant service providers outside of North America (particularly where other regulatory guidance for GHG reductions and energy management may not be available).
This document is intended to be a resource for facility owners, operators and government policymakers. The purpose of this document is to provide information about cost-effective measures for detecting and mitigating methane emissions along the full oil and gas value chain at the company- and national-level. Guidance for developing and implementing practices for monitoring, reporting and verifying (MRV) methane emissions is also provided.
Learn how you can showcase your efforts to reduce methane emissions in the oil & gas sector through the Global Methane Challenge.
The Global Energy Show will take place in Calgary, Canada and will address how we will supply energy to the world, using a clean approach for our planet. There is a clear need to transform our energy systems to be more sustainable, but there is no consensus on timelines for our net zero goals. The conference will elevate the conversation around integrated energy systems while informing policy and trillion-dollar investment decisions that require a new way of thinking and reshaping of a diverse and integrated energy sector.
Energy Asia will take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 26-28 June 2023. Energy Asia will bring together policy makers, industry captains, and energy professionals to discuss prevailing energy issues and how collaboration can help advance energy transition in the region. GMI representatives will participate in Energy Asia to discuss GMI's work in the region.
The SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) is the leading technical energy conference and exhibition for global E&P professionals. As the global energy map continues to shift, ATCE 2023 is focused on leading the discussions around innovation in energy and the technology developments that are building the upstream industry’s road to sustainable solutions and growth.
