OGMP 2.0 Senior Upstream Advisor
UNEP
Debbie Walker is a Senior Advisor to the OGMP 2.0 team. She has extensive experience in upstream oil and gas operations and methane emissions monitoring, reporting and reduction activities, having held various roles across both environmental and facilities engineering functions within Chevron.
In February 2022, Debbie joined the World Bank Group’s Global Flaring and Methane Reduction partnership as a technical advisor where she supported collation of global gas flaring data and analysis from satellite observations and was the lead author of GFMR’s annual global gas flaring tracker report. She also provided support to developing economies on flaring and methane mitigation, associated gas utilization technologies and effective regulatory and policy mechanisms. In July 2024, Debbie joined the OGMP2.0 team where she will be primarily supporting OGMP2.0’s NOC members.
Debbie holds an MSc degree in chemistry from the University of Glasgow and a PhD in atmospheric chemistry from the University of Cambridge.
Flaring operations contribute significantly to climate change by releasing both carbon and methane into the atmosphere. However, by implementing robust policies and regulations that mandate monitoring, reporting, and abatement of emissions, countries can effectively eliminate routine flaring, minimise non-routine flaring, and achieve near zero methane operations. This not only helps combat climate change but also creates opportunities to bolster energy supply by utilising the natural gas that would otherwise have been flared, whether for on-site power generation or sale on the market. Addressing flaring and methane in tandem is essential to attain sustainable and energy-efficient operations.
Attendee insights:
This session will explore policy and regulation strategies aimed at ending routine flaring and mitigating methane emissions as well as the implementation strategies needed to implement them.
