Why Choose Us

The Methane Emission Measurement & Mitigation (MiQ Standard) training course equips participants to measure, manage and reduce methane emissions in line with MiQ requirements. It covers emission sources, measurement technologies, data management practices and mitigation strategies alongside governance, reporting, verification and operational improvement. Methane is an urgent global energy challenge because its short-term global warming potential is many times greater than that of carbon dioxide. Consequently, emissions from oil and gas operations face growing scrutiny and regulation, with implications for financial, operational and reputational performance.

MiQ provides a globally recognised, performance-based framework for measuring, verifying and certifying methane emissions throughout the natural gas supply chain. It prioritises accurate, measurement-based methane intensity, independent verification and continuous improvement rather than relying solely on estimates or generic emission factors. Organisations adopting the Standard are better placed to demonstrate transparency, credibility and leadership in methane management. Participants will be equipped to support emission reduction initiatives, meet emerging regulatory and market requirements, and contribute to sustainability, ESG and energy transition objectives.

This Methane Emission Measurement & Mitigation (MiQ Standard) training course will highlight:

Identifying methane emission sources across oil and gas operations
Applying methane measurement technologies and methodologies
Managing data for accurate, measurement-based methane intensity
Aligning governance, reporting and independent verification with the MiQ Standard
Developing mitigation strategies and continuous improvement approaches
Addressing emerging regulatory, market, ESG and energy transition requirements
