This briefing data is a standalone companion to the Global Methane Emitters Tracker (GMET), and is built off the March 2024 version of the Global Oil and Gas Extraction Tracker (GOGET). The emissions factors are drawn from the Oil and Climate Index + Gas downloaded on March 24th, 2024.

Notes

1. For details on the methodology underlying the methane estimations, refer to the April 2024 GEM Briefing titled: "Mixed Messages: New Oil and Gas Extraction Areas Raise the Stakes for Methane Abatement"
11
2. For field characteritistics and production data methodology, refer to the Global Oil and Gas Extraction Tracker (GOGET) wiki page
12
3. Operators which are 100% owned by the same parent company as listed in GOGET are combined for this dataset
13
4. Some fields in GOGET contain multiple entries for production design capacity based on multiple sources. This dataset only includes one entry per field, based on which reports were most likely to represent the peak data.

5. Conversions to BOE are done using the World Statistical Review of Energy
