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.
Register today for A Call to Action on Methane: an international dialogue hosted by the Global Methane Initiative (GMI) on Thursday, 3 June 2021 from 8:00–10:30 am ETD (UTC -4). This event will use the Microsoft Live platform
The event aims to raise international awareness of the critical need to reduce methane emissions, emphasize opportunities for international leaders in industry, private sector, and government to take action to reduce methane, and celebrate the recharter of the Global Methane Initiative for another 10 years.
Join distinguished members of the methane mitigation community in discussions regarding methane mitigation policies, global trends in the energy sector, and opportunities for action on methane. The event will also feature an industry panel discussion with experts in the Biogas, Oil & Gas, and Coal Mines sectors. A preliminary agenda is available on the event website.
The Egypt Petroleum Show (EGYPS) is Egypt, North Africa and the Mediterranean’s leading oil and gas exhibition and conference. EGYPS will host international exhibitors who will showcase thousands of products and services to trade professionals from the entire oil and gas value chain.
