Gulfport Energy Achieves Grade “A” MiQ Certification for Appalachia Operations and Publishes 2023 Corporate Sustainability Report - Seite 2

MiQ Certification

Gulfport’s Appalachia assets were independently analyzed by MiQ, an independent non-profit organization dedicated to facilitating a rapid reduction in methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. The certification process included an independent assessment of the Company’s emissions performance from the wellhead to delivery, focused on monitoring and best practices, with validation by a third-party auditor. The MiQ standard incorporates A to F grades and is an annual certification that validates the Company’s commitment to managing, reducing, and accurately reporting methane emissions. Gulfport achieved the highest available “A” grade in all three major areas for its Appalachia operations: calculated methane intensity, robust monitoring technology deployment (at facility- and source-levels) and company practices.

About MiQ

MiQ is an independent not-for-profit established to facilitate a rapid reduction in methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. MiQ is the fastest growing and globally recognized methane emissions certification standard. Certification allows global society to credibly differentiate gas based on its methane emissions performance, providing a market mechanism that incentivizes methane reduction. MiQ’s vision is to create a market where certified natural gas can be traded like other historical commodities, ultimately creating incentives to drive down methane emissions across the board.

About Independently Certified Gas

Independently certified gas (ICG) is natural gas produced by companies whose operations are independently verified by third-party auditors. This clear, neutral assessment of natural gas provides operators with the information they need to drive down their emissions. The MiQ standard is enabling the growth of a market for ICG to accelerate the reduction of methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.
