HEATH SERVICES – OGMP 2.0 SURVEYS
Heath Services works with Australian gas suppliers, throughout Australia, to deliver more than Gas Leak, LDAR, Method 21 or Right of Way surveys. We take our field work one step further and actually measure flow rates for emissions = OGMP 2.0 surveys.
Signatories to the OGMP 2.0 framework record flow rate measurements for reporting purposes. Company reporting through OGMP 2.0, satellites, scientific methane measurement studies, and national inventories combine to create a database of empirically verified methane emissions.
The collection and reporting of this company data (OGMP 2.0 surveys) is a key driver for methane reduction. We measure flow rates using (OGI) Optical Gas Imaging and/or Gas Flow Meters (Addglobe) and/or by bagging samples when required.
OGMP 2.0 SURVEYS … IN A NUTSHELL
Every survey we complete is little different as we take care to adopt the practices of your company whilst in the field. Our sustainability framework is specifically designed to adapt to yours.
At a high level though, we can say the following outlines our OGMP 2.0 survey process.
- Complete planning with your team including submission of our documents, organising access, permitting and inductions
- Work with your people or more often external consultants e.g. (Bureau Veritas, SLR Consulting …) to receive your inventory database
- Make recommendations and seek approvals for field equipment
- Travel to site and complete site familiarisation activities
- Commence survey – to generalise we use a device to scan for leaks and then another appropriate gas detector to quantify leaks in the ranges of PPM / %LEL / %Gas / %VOL
- Consider best methods to capture flow rates for each leak type: OGI (optical gas imaging), Gas flow meters or bagging)
- Capture and record flow rates
- Generate OGMP 2.0 survey report for inclusion in Company Reporting activities
ABOUT OGMP 2.0 LEVEL REPORTING
Reporting at OGMP 2.0 Level 2 builds on Level 1 reporting by adding additional granularity around major source categories. While individual source types may be similar along the whole gas supply chain, different segments in the supply chain may have historically categorized their source types differently, reflecting the preferences of companies working in that segment. For the purposes of OGMP 2.0 Level 2 reporting, two categorizations are provided: one for the upstream segment and one for the mid- and downstream segment.
