OGCI members meet 2025 upstream carbon intensity target, keep methane intensity at 0.13%
XLE•OGCI’s 12 members met their voluntary 2025 upstream carbon-intensity target at 16.5 kg CO2e/boe, while methane intensity remained 0.13%. Members also set a voluntary aim of 0.1% methane intensity by 2030.
1. Emissions targets met
OGCI’s 12 members reached an upstream carbon intensity of 16.5 kg CO2e/boe in 2025, and methane intensity held at 0.13% for a fifth straight year below the 0.20% threshold. Since 2017, aggregate upstream methane emissions fell 61% and upstream Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions fell 28% to 260 Mt; routine flaring dropped 74% from its 2018 baseline.
2. 2030 methane aim
Operated oil and gas output rose 3% to 43.4 million boe per day. OGCI set a voluntary collective aim to reach 0.1% upstream methane intensity by 2030, and cumulative low-carbon investment since 2017 reached $156 billion.
