Governments play a critical role in setting methane reduction ambitions, overseeing operator reporting, and ensuring alignment with international initiatives such as OGMP 2.0. To do this effectively, institutions need a clear understanding of methane emissions, reporting frameworks, and the practical realities faced by operators.

Our capacity‑building training supports government authorities and regulators by building institutional knowledge, improving technical literacy, and enabling informed oversight, without requiring in‑depth operational expertise.

These trainings can also be useful when setting up national regulations and their implications.

modules

Capacity building modules

The training is designed specifically for government agencies, regulators, and public institutions involved in:

  • methane policy and regulation
  • oversight of OGMP 2.0 participation
  • evaluation of emissions data and reduction plans

The program focuses on understanding, interpretation, and governance, rather than operational execution. Content can be adapted to national contexts, regulatory maturity, and policy objectives.

Capacity Building for Government

OGMP 2.0 Framework & Government Role

This module introduces OGMP 2.0 from a public‑sector perspective.

Participants gain insight into:

  • The structure, objectives, and reporting levels of OGMP 2.0
  • The role of governments and regulators within the OGMP ecosystem
  • Common methane emission sources across oil and gas assets
  • Principles of credible baselines, transparency, and verification
  • Understanding OGMP GAP analysis and pathways toward higher reporting standards

Focus: enabling informed oversight and dialogue with operators.

Methane Emissions & Measurement Fundamentals

This module builds a foundational understanding of methane emissions and measurement approaches.

Key topics include:

  • What methane emissions are and why they matter
  • Overview of emission sources across asset types
  • Common measurement and quantification approaches
  • Strengths, limitations, and uncertainties of different methodologies
  • Best practices for data consistency and credibility

Focus: improving the ability to assess reported emissions without requiring hands‑on measurement expertise.

Interpreting Emissions Data & Supporting Reduction Strategies

This module focuses on how governments can use emissions data to support policy and reduction objectives.

Key topics include:

  • How to interpret methane emissions reports
  • Identifying trends, priorities, and high‑risk sources
  • Understanding operator reduction plans and performance
  • Supporting year‑on‑year methane reduction at sector or national level
  • Linking emissions data to policy, targets, and international commitments

Focus: turning data into insight for decision‑making and policy support.

Outcomes

Outcomes for Government Institutions

Through this training, government participants will:

  • Strengthen internal capacity on OGMP 2.0 and methane governance
  • Improve confidence in assessing operator reporting and performance
  • Enhance consistency and transparency in regulatory oversight
  • Reduce reliance on external technical advisors
  • Support more effective national methane reduction strategies

The result is stronger institutional capability and more credible methane governance.

Beyond Training

Beyond Training: Advisory Support for Governments

Where additional support is needed, we also offer targeted advisory services, including:

These services can complement capacity‑building efforts or support implementation where internal resources are limited.
