The uncertainty on global methane emission estimates, particularly from the Oil & Gas (O&G) sector become one of the main reasons why O&G Company must demonstrate that each Company have control of methane emissions and have robust reporting and accounting programs in each respective place. If Methane emissions are not well managed and abated, it means they represent a clear risk to the environmental credentials of Natural Gas, due to the main impact of methane is on a global scale, as a greenhouse gas. Methane (CH4), the principle component of natural gas, is a potent GHG, characterized by a 12 years lifetime in the atmosphere and with 25 times the radiative forcing impact of CO2 on a weight basis over a 100-year period. This paper will describe the new developed of Eni Venting Methane Emission Management approach and focus on Venting Methane Emission that generated from Production activities. This approach consists of scheme on data collection, the use of correlation on data analysis, set of mitigation action to be proposed for subsidiary implementation and evaluation as a review phase. The accurate and consistent implementation of this approach will then lead the journey of Eni to the Zero Venting Methane Emission goals and aligned with the commitment to apply voluntary actions aimed at reducing methane emissions along the whole production cycle process.
