Oil and gas industry challenges in light of the new EU methane law
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2025) Łukańko, Łukasz; Wartak, Joanna
The implementation of the new European Union methane regulation presents significant challenges for oil and gas companies, requiring compliance with stricter emission control measures. The regulation mandates systematic monitoring, transparent reporting, and the reduction of methane leaks throughout the supply chain. Adherence to these requirements necessitates substantial investments in advanced detection technologies, infrastructure upgrades, and operational modifications to minimize emissions effectively. Moreover, companies must contend with increased compliance costs and the risk of financial penalties for non-compliance. Beyond the financial implications, these regulatory changes may influence corporate strategies, driving a transition toward more sustainable practices, such as methane capture and utilization. This article examines the primary challenges and strategic responses of oil and gas companies in adapting to the evolving regulatory framework during oil and gas exploration.
