Methane Emission Measurement & Mitigation (MiQ Standard)

Methane emissions represent one of the most significant and urgent challenges facing the global energy sector. Methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential many times greater than carbon dioxide over a short-term horizon. As governments, investors, and international organizations intensify their focus on climate action, methane emissions from oil and gas operations are increasingly scrutinized, regulated, and linked to financial, operational, and reputational performance.

The MiQ Standard has emerged as a globally recognized, performance-based framework for measuring, verifying, and certifying methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain. It emphasizes accurate, measurement-based methane intensity, independent verification, and continuous improvement rather than reliance solely on estimates or generic emission factors. Organizations adopting the MiQ Standard are better positioned to demonstrate transparency, credibility, and leadership in methane management.

This comprehensive training course provides participants with a deep understanding of methane emissions sources, measurement technologies, data management practices, and mitigation strategies in alignment with the MiQ Standard. The course bridges technical measurement methodologies with governance, reporting, verification, and operational improvement, enabling participants to design and implement effective methane management programs.

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to support methane emission reduction initiatives, comply with emerging regulatory and market requirements, and contribute meaningfully to sustainability, ESG, and energy transition objectives.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to: 

• Understand methane’s environmental impact and regulatory significance
• Identify methane emission sources across oil and gas operations
• Apply methane measurement and quantification techniques
• Understand the MiQ Standard framework and certification process
• Implement methane monitoring, reporting, and verification systems
• Design and prioritize methane mitigation strategies
• Integrate methane management into ESG and sustainability programs
• Support continuous improvement and transparent reporting

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Oil & Gas Operations and Production Engineers
