One regulation.Every asset. Every obligation.

The EU Methane Regulation introduces obligations across LDAR, methane reporting, venting and flaring, and where applicable importer methane-intensity requirements. INSUS maps those to your assets and contracts and organises supporting documentation for compliance review.

  • 01

    Track LDAR, reporting, venting and flaring across assets.

  • 02

    Map importer requirements separately where you also import gas.

  • 03

    Advisory only. Provisional requirements stay flagged as provisional.

The problem

A multi-wave regulatory timelineacross a multi-asset portfolio.

The EU Methane Regulation does not create one simple compliance deadline. Midstream operators may need to manage LDAR programmes, annual methane reporting, venting and flaring restrictions and, for importers, a separate methane-intensity and MRV-equivalence track. Several operational details also depend on implementing or delegated acts, so the compliance map needs to be updated rather than created once.

The shift

From manual deadline trackingto a structured compliance map.

Instead of repeatedly searching regulatory text and secondary guidance, create a structured view of which obligations apply to which assets and contracts, what has already been addressed and where requirements remain provisional or need review.

Today

Track compliance manually

  • LDAR, reporting and venting or flaring requirements tracked separately across transmission, storage and LNG assets.
  • Importer obligations sit on a separate timeline from operator-facing requirements.
  • Regulatory updates require teams to manually re-check the Regulation and guidance.

With INSUS

Map the obligations once

  • Each asset mapped against applicable operator-facing requirements.
  • Relevant supply contracts mapped against the separate importer obligation track.
  • Pending implementing or delegated acts explicitly flagged as provisional.

How it works

From regulation textto an asset-by-asset compliance map.

Delivered through ExpertFlow AI as document intelligence over regulatory text and asset, contract and compliance records. It organizes obligations and gaps. It does not perform LDAR surveys or make a binding legal determination.

  1. Connect

    Bring regulation and portfolio data together

    Connect the EU Methane Regulation, official Commission guidance and published implementing or delegated acts with the operator's asset registry, compliance records and, where relevant, supply-contract information.

  2. Understand

    Determine which obligations apply

    Identify which LDAR, reporting, venting and flaring requirements apply to each asset based on its type and role, while separately identifying importer obligations where relevant.

  3. Identify

    Surface gaps and provisional requirements

    Compare the current compliance position against applicable requirements and deadlines. Items dependent on future implementing or delegated acts remain explicitly marked as provisional.

  4. Advise

    Build a prioritised compliance roadmap

    Prioritise identified gaps across the asset portfolio and, where relevant, supply-contract book so compliance teams can sequence work according to applicable obligations and deadlines.

  5. Verify

    Keep the compliance map current

    Compliance teams review the obligation mapping and gap analysis against the applicable Regulation and guidance. Newly published acts and national guidance can then be incorporated into the same structured workflow.

Getting started

Start with a representative portfolioand the records you already keep.

For midstream operators managing transmission, storage or LNG assets under the EU Methane Regulation. Delivered through ExpertFlow AI as document intelligence. Expert Services can help with discovery and validation. It does not perform LDAR surveys or make a binding legal determination.

  • What we need. Asset type and role across transmission, storage and LNG, current LDAR and reporting practices, existing compliance records and, for importers, relevant supply-contract information. No new hardware.
  • What you see first. An obligation map and gap analysis for the full midstream portfolio or a representative subset, validated by the compliance team against its existing regulatory workflow.
  • Where the limits are. Some details depend on subsequent implementing or delegated acts and national guidance. Provisional items stay flagged. Legal and compliance specialists must verify applicable requirements before action is taken.

Questions compliance and HSE teams ask us

The EU Methane Regulation applies different LDAR, reporting, venting, flaring and importer obligations across assets and contracts. This use case maps those against your portfolio for compliance review.

Asset type and role, current LDAR and reporting practices, existing compliance records and, for importers, relevant supply-contract information. No new sensors: this is document intelligence, not a plant-floor instrumentation project.

No to both. It tracks the status and documentation of LDAR activity and organises obligation mapping. Compliance, legal and HSE teams remain responsible for interpreting requirements and approving decisions.

Yes. Operator-facing obligations are separated from the additional importer-facing track so the two are not treated as one generic checklist.

Through ExpertFlow AI as document intelligence. Expert Services can support discovery, document structuring and validation with your compliance team.

The workflow is designed to incorporate new official guidance and implementing or delegated acts into the structured map. Requirements that are not yet finalised should remain explicitly flagged as provisional.

Some regulatory details depend on subsequent implementing or delegated acts and national guidance. The compliance map must remain updateable, and legal and compliance specialists must verify applicable requirements before action is taken.

Midstream · EU regulatory compliance

Track every asset against every applicable obligation.

A structured compliance map for your midstream portfolio will show which documentation gaps still sit against LDAR, reporting, venting, flaring and importer requirements as the Regulation evolves.
