QatarEnergy has achieved the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 Gold Standard Reporting status for the 2025 data year.
The OGMP 2.0 framework, managed by the UN Environmental Programme’s International Methane Emissions Observatory, is the premier measurement-based reporting and mitigation framework for methane emissions in the oil and gas sector.
Gold Standard is also the highest recognition that exists under this framework.
Achieving OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard Reporting status reflects the significant progress made by QatarEnergy in its methane emissions measurement, reporting, and transparency across both its operated and non-operated assets.
It also demonstrates QatarEnergy’s robust approach to methane management, including its adoption of comprehensive measurement-based reporting and credible implementation plans, underscoring the quality, robustness, transparency, and completeness of QatarEnergy’s methane emissions reporting.
Minister of State for Energy Affairs His Excellency Saad Sherida al-Kaabi, who is also president and CEO of QatarEnergy, said: “Obtaining OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard Reporting status is an important milestone in QatarEnergy's methane emissions management efforts. This accomplishment reflects our commitment to transparency, continuous improvement, and the application of advanced measurement technologies to manage methane emissions across our operations.”
Al-Kaabi added: “I would like to express sincere appreciation to all teams at QatarEnergy and the joint ventures involved in the planning, execution, measurement, reporting, and coordination of activities that contributed to this success, which highlights the commitment and professionalism in advancing environmental performance and supporting QatarEnergy's sustainability objectives.”
As QatarEnergy continues its methane management journey, it will look to build upon the lessons learned and progress achieved through the OGMP 2.0 programme, further strengthen its emissions measurement capabilities, implement targeted mitigation initiatives, and pursue continuous improvement when it comes to environmental stewardship.
