How Mist simplifies methane reporting for oil & gas companies
As global attention on methane emissions intensifies, Oil & Gas companies are under increasing pressure to report their emissions with greater accuracy and transparency. Frameworks like the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0) are setting the bar for what robust reporting looks like. But meeting these standards can be complex and time-consuming—unless you have the right tools. That’s where Mist comes in.

Mist is a free to use, online methane inventory software designed to make reporting easier and more accurate. Mist was built by the Oil and Gas methane experts at Carbon Limits, and has been trusted by more than 40 private and national Oil and Gas companies all over the world for several years.
With pre-built site configurations and a library of emissions factors available, Mist guides you through the process of identifying sources and calculating emissions to quickly generate Level 3 emissions using data you likely already have available. You can also easily add your own measurement data to improve accuracy and move up the OGMP 2.0 reporting levels. With Mist, you can build a Level 3 inventory for an asset within hours and covering operations in the upstream, mid, and downstream value chains.
Mist is designed to support companies on their journey through OGMP 2.0, by making Level 3 and Level 4 reporting easy.
- Level 3: Use Mist's prebuilt site configurations to identify common emission sources and components, then use any of the pre-populated emissions factors to create a tailored inventory based off components in your site. All configurations are customizable to reflect operations and emission sources that are unique to your facility.
- Level 4: Incorporate your own measurement data, operational observations, or engineering calculations to refine your source level estimates and elevate your measurements to Level 4.
Whether you’re just starting or already collecting field data, Mist adapts to your workflow and helps you build a defensible, auditable inventory with the best data you have available, and builds a roadmap to improve your inventories over time.
No matter the level of granularity used for calculations, Mist will organize your emissions by site and by emission source. You will be able to:
- Identify which sites and sources are material
- Spot opportunities to improve your measurement techniques
- Prioritize emission reduction effors
Not only does an accurate methane inventory lead to improved regulatory compliance, but it also serves as the foundation for methane abatement. Having trustworthy inventories is essential to know where to deploy mitigation technologies to ensure that time and capital investments in abatement are deployed in the most effective and efficient manner. Mist can also help companies set and achieve methane mitigation targets by using Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MAC Curves) and scenario analyses to create the most cost effective abatement strategy possible.
Teams using Mist have reported faster reporting cycles, fewer data inconsistencies, and greater confidence in their inventories. Whether you're preparing for regulatory disclosure or internal reviews, Mist helps you stay on track with your methane emissions goals. See our case studies for more details and user testimonials.
Mist makes methane reporting easy by building robust inventories that meet OGMP 2.0 requirements while taking meaningful steps toward emissions reduction—all with less effort and more confidence.
