Reported methane emissions from oil and gas operations

Sources

IEA analysis based on data from Global Methane Budget (2024); Shen et al. (2023); UNFCCC (2023); IMEO (2023); IOGP (2024).

Notes

UNFCCC = United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. OGMP 2.0 = Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0. IOGP = International Association of Oil and Gas Producers. IEA estimates are for 2024, other estimates are for the latest year available. The Global Methane Budget refers to the top-down estimate. Emissions from company reporting are scaled to the global level based on the reporting companies’ share of production and assuming non-reporting companies have the same average emissions intensity.
