In the EU natural gas football championship… Russia and Netherlands leave… Egypt, Algeria and Israel enter… against USA, Middle East and East Africa.Įxpect Egypt and Algeria will score quickly (~29 Mtpa of LNG and ~35 bcm of piepline underutilised capacity) followed by Israel… strong competition from East Africa and Middle East. USA should remain on the sidelines… needing to change game strategy and competitiveness to win. It is strongly recommended that a significant gas producer like bp leads here, if not already done, for the cost of perfecting methane emission FLOW MEASUREMENT can be considerable compared to using already existing technologies that would minimize the need for measurement (physically challenging) - Note: current accounting practices heavily rely on EPA factors for Methane Intensity evaluation despite the 40+% uncertainty per EPA studies. Moreover, venting from wellsite storage tanks will also be eliminated, hence ABATING another source of unquantifiable GHG emissions. It is now proven by real FIELD cases onshore US that SIMPLIFYING wellsite separation facilities using Multiphase Flowmeters leads to considerable gains on several fronts: (1st) 75% methane emission reduction, (2nd) significant facilities CAPEX and OPEX reduction (100% and 50% respectively), and (3rd) comparable (if not improved) measurement metrology. One alternative to measuring methane emission FLOWRATE (required for methane intensity evaluation) would be to ABATE emission where it matters most (according to EPA, onshore separation facilities are responsible for 72% of the US emitted methane across the entire gas value chain). Massive thanks to everyone for helping transform how our industry operates.ĭear Mr. ![]() And because I used to represent bp at the MGP, I couldn’t help popping down to say hi to some old friends (and meet some new ones □) Over the last five years, the MGP has expanded to 47 signatories – and has ambitious plans for 2023 and beyond.Įarlier this year, our head of production & operations Gordon Birrell hosted the MGP executive roundtable in London. These help drive change by developing tools, sharing best practice and bringing different operators and stakeholders together. That’s what we’re doing through initiatives like the Methane Guiding Principles. And so it’s great when we can work together. As part of this, we’re embedding methane measurement technologies at our major oil and gas processing sites – a programme we’re aiming to complete by the end of this year – as well as continuing our work to reduce our operational methane emissions.Īcross the industry, operators are working hard to cut methane emissions. Helping us monitor methane emissions so we can act.Īll supporting our aim to improve methane measurement and drive further reductions in the methane intensity of operations. Our teams around the world are in action in different ways – from flying unmanned aerial vehicles, to using powerful computing software and more. ![]() Bp is making progress in getting after methane emissions – as part of our drive towards net zero.
