The more I talk to companies, the more clear it becomes that industry doesn\u2019t have a good feel for the full scope of the problem. That is partly why you see pushback from the Canadian Association for Petroleum Producers (CAPP), which wants more R&amp;D invested in measurement before addressing the problem. There is some validity to this approach, as very few players today know exactly where their methane is coming from in their operations.<\/p>\n<p>As for differences between Canadian and U.S. companies, when you\u2019re talking to actual leaders on the issue, there\u2019s no real difference. Leaders typically don\u2019t rely on compliance or regulations, and aren\u2019t as buffeted by the winds of political change. That said, there is an alarming sense of complacency from some of the Canadian operators. The attitude is \u201cwe\u2019re doing just fine, it\u2019s just the case of a few minor tweaks and increasing paperwork and this problem will be solved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This outlook is a little alarming when compared to the U.S. (and internationally), where you have some industry leaders stepping up and making bold methane commitments. The absence of any Canadian players making similar commitments is noticeable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sean:<\/strong> <strong>It\u2019s interesting what you said about methane being a blind spot in Canada?\u00a0 Why is that the case?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jamie:<\/strong> Part of it has to do with a sense of regulatory superiority on the Canadian side. When you talk about methane, this isn\u2019t necessarily true. But, if you broaden regulations to talk about carbon regimes &#8211; there aren\u2019t any in the U.S., whereas certain Canadian operators have been adhering to carbon regulations for a long time. Combined with the current pullback on regulations from Washington, Canadian companies feel, possibly incorrectly, that they are operating under stricter regulations. Operators also feel that the industry is different in Canada, and thus a different approach is warranted. There is some merit to this sentiment because the markets have different geologies and oil and gas production challenges, but complacency on the scope of the challenge in Canada is still an issue.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a Canadian strength and weakness \u2013 we can be conservative, and avoid serious pitfalls, but sometimes it means not necessarily being at the forefront of innovation and missing opportunities. The mindset of \u201cas long as regulations are met, we are doing our best\u201d is not uniquely Canadian, but it\u2019s common among Canadian companies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sean:<\/strong> <strong>Some Canadian operators report their emissions as being down, even as multiple, peer-reviewed scientific studies show emissions are much higher than what industry reports. How are investors squaring the differences between reported information and measurements?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jamie:<\/strong> I would say it\u2019s a fundamental challenge, which is why some form of regulatory intervention on measurement and reporting is needed. As it stands now, the lack of data and collective reporting makes it difficult for investors to know exactly what is happening.<\/p>\n<p>The studies you reference were not company specific, and it\u2019s feasible that the reported reductions from companies are real, but because the total level of emissions has not been captured, it\u2019s difficult to see the big picture. It\u2019s important to acknowledge the reductions shown on the books are the result of capital spent and real programs designed to cut emissions. Whether or not it\u2019s a reduction, in the sense of unreported and unmitigated emissions, is the larger question.<\/p>\n<p>Companies are doing real things, but if you don\u2019t know what your emissions are, how do you know if you\u2019re doing the right things? The Canadian industry\u2019s position on methane reflects this viewpoint, by pushing on measurement to determine accurate emission levels before making commitments. There\u2019s no question a measurement gap exists, and hopefully, regulations will address the lack of reporting and data. But there is plenty of opportunity to reduce methane right now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While a growing number of global oil and gas companies step up to reduce methane emissions, many operators in Canada have hesitated to take concrete action, perhaps waiting instead for federal and provincial regulations to address the issue.
