The Fastest, Most Accurate Path to OGMP Gold Standard Reporting

Bridger Compliance for OGMP 2.0

Measuring Methane. Simplifying Compliance.
OGMP 2.0 sets the global standard for methane emissions reporting, requiring operators to move from estimates to measured emissions data.

But achieving the OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard can present challenges:
  • How do you efficiently measure emissions across dispersed assets?
  • How do you ensure your data meets OGMP 2.0 requirements?
  • How can you streamline compliance without disrupting operations?
Bridger OGMP Logo (6)Bridger’s Compliance for OGMP 2.0 provides a direct measurement solution for OGMP 2.0 compliance.

Our technology allows operators to rapidly measure source- and site-level emissions, create defensible emissions inventories, and integrate verified data into OGMP reports.

Frequently Asked Questions: OGMP Compliance

Is OGMP 2.0 for methane emissions reporting, gas certification, or both? OGMP 2.0 is a voluntary reporting initiative for methane emissions, but it is not a gas certification.
What sectors of the oil and natural gas value chain can use OGMP 2.0 for reporting? All sectors, including production, transmission, and distribution.
What are the steps to achieving Gold Standard recognition through OGMP 2.0? Reporting advances from Level 1 through Level 5, with the highest levels (4 and 5) requiring direct measurement data and comparisons between measurement approaches to ensure accuracy. Emissions must be reported for both operated and non-operated assets, and operators are recognized with the "OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard" when they achieve these high levels of reporting within three years for operated assets and five years for non-operated assets. Operators may also achieve this recognition by designing a credible implementation plan to achieve these reporting objectives and demonstrating satisfactory progress.
How long does Gold Standard status last? Gold Standard status is awarded every year that members adhere to their implementation plans to the greatest reasonable extent.
What’s the difference between Level 4 and Level 5 reporting? OGMP 2.0 Level 4 reporting consists of source level measurements, while Level 5 consists of two parts: site level measurements, and reconciliation with the source level measurements from Level 4.
Can I use the same technology for Level 4 and Level 5 reporting? No, the methodologies used for Level 4 and Level 5 measurements must be different. However, site level measurements may be used to inform source level measurements. Operators may also use a different application of the same measurement technology for both source-level and site-level measurements when they demonstrate the independence of the measurement applications.
What technologies can I use for Level 4 and 5 measurement?

Source level emission measurements (OGMP Level 4) can be conducted using direct measurement, measurement-based emission factors, process simulations, or a combination. Acceptable methods for Level 4 measurement include those validated through peer-reviewed evaluations, or mandated by regulatory requirements in the operator’s jurisdiction.

Although OGMP 2.0 does not mandate specific measurement methods, Level 5 site level measurements are typically conducted using remote sensing techniques, such as aircraft-based emission detection scans.

My company is small, and we don’t have a dedicated emissions team like some of the larger companies do. Where do we start?

We meet you exactly where you’re at in your emissions reporting journey, by offering three levels of streamlined support to match your needs.

From fundamental emissions data with unparalleled accuracy, through a fully integrated approach using advanced analytics for OGMP 2.0 reconciliation and determining your emissions inventory, we’ve got you covered.
