We are available for independent verification surveys and provide support for OGMP 2.0 framework.Main EU files targeted
Designing an EU Methane Performance Standard for Natural Gas and changes to methodology for monitoring reporting and verification (MRV).
We are passionate about methane emissions from oil and gas production and processing facilities, and have 40 years of experience in the field, working all around the world, so want to ensure that legislation is targeted at the right level, and is achievable to ensure that the operators engage. This should also enable a phased transition to the ultimate level required.Address
