Services  /  Methane Data Readiness

Methane data, ready for the reports you may still need to file.

Fixed-scope engagement that turns messy field data into a Subpart W / OOOOb / OGMP-ready inventory — field-data readiness package, evidence map and management review memo. For non-supermajor operators without a dedicated emissions platform.

From $15,000 for a single-asset applicability scope · 2–4 week inventory builds · mutual NDA before any data review.

Built for changing methane-reporting pressure

Reporting, monitoring, buyer scrutiny, and state-level obligations are moving targets.

We build a current deadline and evidence map as part of the engagement, rather than relying on a static public checklist that ages fast. Satellite and aerial measurements can outpace internal inventories — we help your team be ready to reconcile source-level data when buyers or regulators ask.

Who this is for

Four kinds of operator on a real deadline.

NM Permian operator

NM gas capture rule on the horizon

Satellites are already publishing basin-level intensity data, and state-level pressure is building. You need the data plumbing right before the rule is in force.

Sustainability VP

>25,000 tCO₂e facility, Subpart W 2025

Subpart W timing and applicability continue to evolve. Time to clean CY2025 source-level data, if reporting remains applicable to your facilities.

LNG developer / midstream

EU offtake methane attestation

Under EU MR 2024/1787, importers must demonstrate and report that applicable supply contracts cover MRV-equivalent measures, with phase-in deadlines under the Methane Transparency Database. Specific timing and applicability vary by jurisdiction and supply contract.

OGMP 2.0 signatory

Climbing from Level 3 to Level 4/5

3-year clock on measurement-based reconciliation. Get the data architecture right before the gap analysis is your problem.

What you get

A measurement-to-report data architecture, not a slide deck.

Excel workbook + PDF readiness memo + 60-minute walkthrough. One follow-up round included.

1. Source inventory

Every facility, every Subpart W source category (pneumatic controllers, dehydrators, compressors, blowdowns, tanks, flares, fugitives), with throughput + count.

2. Missing-data report

What fields each emission factor calculation needs, what's missing today, where to source it.

3. Emissions calculation workbook

A reproducible, auditable workbook that turns source-category inputs into reportable emissions figures aligned with the applicable rule framework. Specific equation set and references confirmed during scoping.

4. QA / recordkeeping checklist

Typical records an auditor may request, organised for review.

5. LDAR / flaring calendar

Quarterly OGI cadence, advanced-monitoring alternatives under Appendix K, repair-window timing.

6. Management readiness memo

Executive summary, deadline calendar, gap analysis.

Why us

Rule text fluency plus data-pipeline fluency.

Both halves of the problem

Stanford PhD-led. Fluent in both the rule text (Subpart W, OOOOb, OGMP 2.0, EU 2024/1787) and the data pipelines that have to feed those rules.

Architecture, not stack-testing

Our position: we hand you the measurement-to-report data architecture. Not a stack test, not a field tour.

Applicability checker on the same engine

The OOOOb Applicability Checker at tools.petropt.com runs on the same engine — you see the methodology before you commit.

How it works

Six steps. 2–4 weeks for a standard engagement.

01

Scoping call

20 minutes, free.

02

Engagement + NDA

Standard turn.

03

Data hand-off

SCADA exports, field tickets, GHGRP prior submissions, equipment lists.

04

Inventory build

2–4 weeks depending on facility count.

05

Delivery

Excel workbook + PDF readiness memo + 60-min walkthrough.

06

Follow-up round

One follow-up round included.

Pricing

Engagements start at $15,000.

Final scope and price depend on facility count, applicable rule scope (Subpart W, OOOOb, OGMP, EU MR, state overlays), data condition and reporting deadline. Mutual NDA before any data review.

Most first engagements are $15k–$40k readiness or diagnostic packages. Larger multi-facility data models are scoped after the first diagnostic.

Scope honesty

Where this fits, and where it doesn't.

This is a fast, defensible decision-support package. It is not a substitute for field execution, legal advice or a signed statutory opinion.

Not a methane sensor vendor. If measurement campaigns are needed, we can help your team evaluate sensor vendors (e.g. Bridger, Project Canary, Highwood) or coordinate with your selected provider.

Not legal advice. Refer environmental counsel.

Not a registered air-permitting consultant. Trinity / Apex / Verdaen for permitting work.

FAQ

Common questions.

Which rules do you focus on?

This scope focuses on the currently active reporting, monitoring and recordkeeping requirements — Subpart W reporting, OOOOb LDAR / monitoring / recordkeeping, OGMP 2.0 voluntary tiers, EU MR procurement pressure, and applicable state overlays (NM, CO, CA, TX).

State rule overlay?

Yes — NM, CO, CA and TX overlay is part of every engagement where it applies.

Will EU offtake actually demand this?

EU MR 2024/1787 introduces phased reporting and attestation obligations for importers of supply concluded after EU MR entry into force, with the Methane Transparency Database staged in. Specific timing and applicability vary by jurisdiction and supply contract.
