Oil & Gas Systems
Methane emissions from oil and natural gas systems are primarily the result of normal operations and system disruptions. These emissions can be cost-effectively reduced by upgrading technologies or equipment, and by improving operations. The Global Methane Initiative facilitates cooperative mitigation activities that result in bringing more gas to markets.
