Decarbonize oil and gas production

Leverage technologies and solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from every barrel produced

Challenge

Get closer to where—and when—counts most

Because production operations produce the largest proportion of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the oil and gas value chain, they present the biggest decarbonization opportunity. Yet, we must consider decarbonization within the context of commercial reality and not in isolation. Maximizing ROI and minimizing emissions per barrel requires the right approach to tackling carbon emissions at their root cause.

Decarbonize Oil and Gas Production
Leverage technologies and solutions that help you "Get Closer to the Action" to drive performance and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from every barrel produced.
Solution

Getting closer to the action

We'll help you find the right solutions for your assets and get close to emission sources across production operations. This can include leveraging our growing portfolio of Transition Technologies™ for opportunities to reduce energy consumption, increase efficiency, and minimize carbon emissions. Our solutions address some of the biggest challenges across multiple dimensions:

  • Distance between the reservoir and the location where emissions occur
  • Delay between the creation of unwanted byproducts and their treatment
  • Gap between concepts and field-proven solutions
