The “Emission Accounting in Oil and Gas Operations” course is specifically designed to provide operators with a comprehensive understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission accounting principles and practices in the petroleum industry. The course covers the identification, quantification, and reporting of emissions from various sources, measurement techniques, calculation methodologies, data management, and verification processes. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge, practical examples, case studies, and interactive exercises, participants will gain the necessary skills to effectively regulate and monitor emissions in upstream petroleum operations. Reference standards and guidelines would include ISO14064 (1, 2 &3), IPCC, API and OGMP 2.0
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
