QatarEnergy achieves OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard Reporting status

QatarEnergy has achieved Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 Gold Standard Reporting status for the 2025 data year, marking a new milestone in the company's methane emissions measurement and reporting efforts.

The OGMP 2.0 framework is managed by the United Nations Environment Programme's International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) and is regarded as a leading measurement-based reporting and mitigation framework for methane emissions in the oil and gas sector.

Gold Standard Reporting represents the highest reporting recognition available under the framework.

What does the Gold Standard mean?

The OGMP 2.0 framework encourages oil and gas companies to move beyond emissions estimates towards increasingly detailed measurement-based data.

Companies participating in the programme report methane emissions from both operated and non-operated assets and progressively improve the quality and accuracy of their reporting.

Achieving Gold Standard Reporting provides greater confidence in a company's understanding of its methane emissions and the information available to identify opportunities for mitigation.

For QatarEnergy, the latest recognition reflects progress in methane emissions measurement, reporting and transparency across its portfolio.

The company said it has adopted comprehensive measurement-based reporting alongside implementation plans aimed at strengthening methane management.

QatarEnergy highlights advanced measurement technologies

HE Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy Affairs and President and CEO of QatarEnergy, described the achievement as an important milestone in the company's methane emissions management efforts.

He said the recognition reflects QatarEnergy's commitment to transparency, continuous improvement and the use of advanced measurement technologies across its operations.

Al-Kaabi also thanked QatarEnergy teams and its joint ventures involved in the planning, execution, measurement, reporting and coordination required to achieve the recognition.

QatarEnergy to continue methane mitigation efforts

QatarEnergy said it plans to build on progress made through the OGMP 2.0 programme by further strengthening its methane emissions measurement capabilities.

The company will also continue implementing targeted mitigation initiatives and pursuing improvements in its environmental performance.

Methane management has become an increasingly important focus for the global oil and gas sector because accurately identifying where emissions occur can help companies target reduction measures more effectively.

Under OGMP 2.0, reported data undergo quality checks and review by UNEP's International Methane Emissions Observatory.

The programme now includes more than 160 member companies operating across multiple countries and representing a significant share of global oil and gas production.
