Each round table covers a different topic, allowing attendees to select which one to join. Round table leaders will begin with a 15-minute introduction of themselves and a brief overview of the topic, which can include a case study, lessons learned log, or industry update. They will then facilitate a 40-minute discussion with the group, encouraging feedback, questions and agreeing on five industry recommendations. These recommendations will be shared with the entire audience and summarized in the post-event report. 

1. Exploring opportunities for Progress on US Climate Policies for the energy industry: Implications for the Oil and Gas Industry Roundtable Leader: Waqar Quereshi, Congressional Liaison, Citizens’ Climate Lobby 
2. Discussing Challenges and Opportunities in Implementing Methane Measurement.
   Roundtable Leader: David Yeoman, Founder, Gaia Oratos 

• What does reconciliation really mean in operational and reporting contexts? 

• Practical approaches to implementing reconciliation in the field and across organizations 

• How reconciliation requirements and expectations differ across standards  

• The impact of monitoring technologies on reconciliation strategies: 

• Continuous emissions monitoring 

• LDAR programs 

• Aerial and satellite-based monitoring 

• How reconciliation challenges and methodologies vary by basin and production type: 

• Dry gas vs. associated gas systems 

• Infrastructure and operational complexity 

Organizations are under mounting pressure to both meet ambitious decarbonization goals and comply with an expanding and changing web of regulations.  This session explores how to bridge executive-level risk management with the operational rigor of regulatory reporting.  Drawing on lessons from cybersecurity and governance, Al Lindseth will outline a practical framework for aligning risk appetite, measurement integrity and accountability – turning compliance into a driver of strategic resilience and risk reduction, rather than a burden.

· Highlighting value chain transparency and engaging suppliers, partners, and customers to improve visibility and accountability in energy operations.

· Understanding global ESG and carbon disclosure requirements for the energy sector.

· Exploring mitigation strategies by using procurement, supplier collaboration, and operational innovation to reduce Scope 3 emissions.

Emissions Reporting Discrepancies Reconciled by Implications of Reported Oil Production - Speaker: Dwayne Purvis, Founder and Principal Advisor, Purvis Energy Advisors 

• Emissions reporting in Texas consistently identifies less methane than measured in the atmosphere in reporting areas.  

• Texas regulations allow low volumes of gas production to be emitted without measurement or reporting. 

• Emissions reporting do not include these allowed releases. 

• Estimates of the unreported gas releases corroborate the higher, top-down atmospheric measurements of emissions.
