Core Viewpoint - The release of three new methodologies under the CCER mechanism aims to enhance greenhouse gas reduction efforts in the oil and gas industry, promoting innovative recovery and utilization of associated gas in both onshore and offshore oil fields [1][2][3] Group 1: CCER Methodologies - The third batch of CCER methodologies includes the recovery and utilization of gas from onshore gas fields, low-volume associated gas from onshore oil fields, and associated gas from offshore oil fields, expanding the total to nine methodologies [1] - The methodologies are characterized by their wide coverage across industry sectors and various types of greenhouse gases [1] Group 2: Onshore Gas Field Methodology - The "Onshore Gas Field Testing Gas Recovery Utilization Methodology" is noted for its unique Chinese innovation, addressing the lack of market-based emission reduction incentives for testing gas recovery projects globally [1] - This methodology encourages the recovery of testing gas for use in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG), promoting technological upgrades in the oil and gas sector for greenhouse gas reduction and resource recovery [1] Group 3: Low-Volume Associated Gas Methodology - The "Onshore Oil Field Low-Volume Associated Gas Recovery Utilization Methodology" allows projects with associated gas production of less than 30,000 cubic meters per day to apply for CCER [2] - This methodology provides an incentive mechanism for small-scale, decentralized associated gas resource utilization projects that are currently not economically viable [2] - For example, a project in Heilongjiang with an associated gas source of 15,000 cubic meters per day could see its return on investment increase from 5% to approximately 8.5% with CCER benefits [2] Group 4: Offshore Oil Field Methodology - As of October this year, there are four projects that comply with the "Offshore Oil Field Associated Gas Recovery Utilization Methodology," with a total recovery volume of about 150 million cubic meters per year and an LPG production of 32,000 tons per year [3] - A new project is expected to recover about 100 million cubic meters of natural gas annually, resulting in a reduction of approximately 160,000 tons of emissions, which could generate an additional revenue of 12.8 million yuan per year based on an estimated CCER price of 80 yuan per ton [3]
