November 2, 2026: On the occasion of the meeting of the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) member companies in Abu Dhabi, TotalEnergies highlights its cooperation with National Oil & Gas Companies to reduce methane emissions, through its partnerships with PETRONAS in Malaysia, SONANGOL in Angola and Oil India Limited (OIL) in India.

TotalEnergies signed a collaboration agreement with PETRONAS, the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) and JGC Corporation to contribute to the development of SEA METEC (Southeast Asia Methane Emissions Technology Evaluation Center). Led by PETRONAS, SEA METEC will be a regional center based in Malaysia and dedicated to evaluating methane emissions measurement and monitoring technologies across Southeast Asia.

TotalEnergies will support the development of SEA METEC by sharing the expertise gained over more than 10 years through its own TADI (TotalEnergies Anomalies Detection Initiative) center, Europe’s only facility dedicated to evaluating methane detection and quantification technologies. SEA METEC will thereby strengthen knowledge sharing and support the harmonization of methane emissions measurement and quantification methodologies, enabling companies to better detect, measure and ultimately reduce their emissions.

Expanding field Methane Detection with OIL in India

Building on a successful first campaign using TotalEnergies’ AUSEA technology to detect and quantify methane emission over 20 OIL-operated sites in Assam, OIL and TotalEnergies are strengthening their collaboration with a second field campaign.

The first one-month-long campaign provided OIL with data to support its emissions reporting, while demonstrating AUSEA’s ability to accurately detect and quantify methane emissions across diverse sites and field conditions. A second one-month-long campaign will extend the use of AUSEA to additional OIL-operated sites, further strengthening the cooperation between the two companies on methane emissions reduction.
