But walking the halls of CERAWeek, one of the industry\u2019s premier leadership gatherings, one gets the impression that some haven\u2019t yet recognized the extent to which name-brand international oil companies and the nationally owned oil companies are increasingly bound together by new methane obligations.<\/p>\n<span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.edf.org%2Fenergyexchange%2F2024%2F03%2F19%2Finternational-national-oil-gas-producers-bound-tightly-by-market-pressure-new-methane-commitments%2F&#038;text=International%2C%20national%20oil%20%26%20gas%20producers%20bound%20tightly%20by%20market%20pressure%2C%20new%20methane%20commitments&#038;via=EDFEnergyEx&#038;related=EDFEnergyEx' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International, national oil &amp; gas producers bound tightly by market pressure, new methane commitments <\/a><\/span><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.edf.org%2Fenergyexchange%2F2024%2F03%2F19%2Finternational-national-oil-gas-producers-bound-tightly-by-market-pressure-new-methane-commitments%2F&#038;text=International%2C%20national%20oil%20%26%20gas%20producers%20bound%20tightly%20by%20market%20pressure%2C%20new%20methane%20commitments&#038;via=EDFEnergyEx&#038;related=EDFEnergyEx' target='_blank' class='bctt-ctt-btn'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n<p>Our team has just published a <a href=\"https:\/\/business.edf.org\/insights\/joint-venture-ioc-noc-methane-emissions\/\">new report<\/a> describing risks and opportunities arising from these intertwined relationships. The analysis makes clear that both corporate and international methane targets will require collaboration from the two sectors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Risk &amp; Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Largely outside the public eye, NOCs constitute the industry\u2019s backbone. State-owned operators produce half the world\u2019s oil and gas and hold two-thirds of global reserves. Thanks to a sprawling web of joint ventures, they also account for a large share of oil and gas produced by the IOCs, household names like Chevron, ExxonMobil and Shell.<\/p>\n<p>The global supermajors have made high-profile commitments to measure, report and reduce their methane emissions. Until very recently, the NOCs stayed on the sidelines. They typically operate without stakeholder oversight and the public disclosures IOCs are accustomed to.<\/p>\n<p>But suddenly that\u2019s changing.<\/p>\n<p>Last December\u2019s climate talks in Dubai were dismissed by some as the \u201coil COP.\u201d But one of the key milestones was an agreement by over 50 oil and gas companies representing over a third of global oil and gas production to cut their methane emissions to near-zero and eliminate routine flaring by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 50 signatories of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cop28.com\/en\/news\/2023\/12\/Oil-Gas-Decarbonization-Charter-launched-to--accelerate-climate-action\">Oil &amp; Gas Decarbonation Charter<\/a>, 30 are NOCs, two-thirds of which have joint ventures with one or more IOCs with methane reduction targets already in place under the UN Environment Programme\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ogmpartnership.com\/our-member-companies\/\">Oil and Gas Methane Partnership<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ties that bind<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With few exceptions, methane commitments by the IOCs apply only to assets under direct company control. Ubiquitous joint ventures are excluded. We believe this should <a href=\"https:\/\/business.edf.org\/insights\/joint-action-catalyzing-methane-emission-reduction-at-oil-and-gas-joint-ventures\/\">change<\/a>. Whether or not it does, the OGDC represents a crucial opening for both national and international operators to deepen their engagement to overcome the technical, financial and operational limitations facing many NOCs.<\/p>\n<p>Some are already working together on methane.<\/p>\n<p>BP, the largest IOC presence in Azerbaijan, signed an agreement with the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic to drive down methane emissions throughout the entire country\u2019s energy system \u2014 not just the portion BP is involved in.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd.\u00a0 and TotalEnergies signed an MOU for NNPC to deploy methane detection technology developed by TotalEnergies. The French IOC has signed similar agreements with Petrobras (Brazil), SOCAR (Azerbaijan), Sonangol (Angola), and ONGC (India).<\/p>\n<p>Ventures like these enable NOCs to benefit immediately from a decade\u2019s worth of research and development in methane detection and quantification.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Satellites change the game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All of this is unfolding just as a new generation of satellites including MethaneSAT (developed by an EDF subsidiary) has emerged that can see and report methane emissions almost anywhere on Earth. For the first time, it will allow joint venture partners near real-time insight into the methane emissions of all their assets, whether they operate them or not. Data from MethaneSAT will be freely available to stakeholders and the public.<\/p>\n<p>Launched this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.methanesat.org\/project-updates\/methanesat-is-launching-today-on-groundbreaking-mission-to-protect-the-climate\/\">MethaneSAT<\/a> was developed by an Environmental Defense Fund subsidiary to help companies and regulators locate and reduce emissions faster, while giving stakeholders unprecedented new ability to assess the results. Data from MethaneSAT will be free to the public, showing everyone who is \u2014 and who isn\u2019t \u2014 getting the job done.<\/p>\n<p>Cutting methane emissions in exporting countries is increasingly in the commercial interest of both national producers, their host governments and their international joint venture partners. If industry is to deliver on its broader climate pledges and truly transition toward decarbonization, it is critical that NOCs and NOJVs are part of its efforts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chance to succeed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/global-methane-tracker-2024\/key-findings\">IEA Methane Tracker<\/a> report still shows methane emissions from energy are far too high. But together, these latest developments are a monumental opportunity for collaborative, transparent and rapid action on methane.<\/p>\n<p>The OGDC covers about a third of global production. Combined with additional companies that are members of the industry\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/aimingforzero.ogci.com\/\">Oil and Gas Climate Initiative<\/a>\u00a0 and Oil and Gas Methane Partnership, approximately 46% of total upstream oil and gas is covered by a near- zero methane emissions target.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time for IOCs and NOCs to work together to deliver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Andrew Baxter \u201cVery soon nobody is going to be able to hide from methane leakage,\u201d Chevron CEO Mike Wirth said back in 2019 .
