Expansive Modern Guide to Methane Emissions Management Course
by Highwood Emissions Management
Thomas Fox , Chelsea Goral , Jessica Shumlich , Brendan Moorhouse , and Jeff Rutherford
This in-depth course provides oil and gas professionals with a strong foundation in methane emissions management, preparing them to navigate the evolving regulatory, voluntary, and technology landscape. Participants will explore the full emissions management process—from building bottom-up inventories and applying measurement-informed methods to performing reconciliation and achieving certification or participating in standards such as OGMP 2.0 and MiQ. The course offers a detailed look at methane detection and quantification technologies, operational best practices, and cost-effective abatement strategies. It also examines emerging trends, voluntary market drivers, and the business impacts of Europe’s methane regulation on global producers, giving learners the tools to lead effective methane reduction and certification efforts within their organizations.Read more...
