Session Overview
Tuesday, 3 November
15:05
Clean Power, Molecules & Carbon Management Plenary Hall B 15:05 - 15:35
Methane action: the path to lower-intensity production

As scrutiny of energy supply intensifies, methane emissions and routine flaring are becoming important measures of operational quality and production performance. Producers investing in electrifying operations, eliminating routine flaring, reducing methane emissions and improving energy efficiency across their value chains are finding that lower-intensity barrels attract preferential offtake, better financing terms and stronger long-term partnerships. For NOCs and IOCs operating in a market where trust and operational track record are commanding a premium, carbon intensity is no longer a reporting exercise. It is becoming a factor in how long-term supply relationships, market access and financing terms are shaped.

Attendee Insights:
Explore how carbon intensity is shaping market access, financing and partnership decisions across the energy value chain, and what operational investments are delivering measurable competitive advantage.
