<\/p>\nSchlumberger has launched Schlumberger End-to-end Emissions Solutions (SEES). The business offers a comprehensive set of services and cutting-edge technologies designed to give operators a robust and scalable solution for measuring, monitoring, reporting and, ultimately, eliminating methane and routine flare emissions from their operations.<\/p>\n
SEES launches at a critical time in the industry as we witness leadership from Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) members who have announced their aim for zero methane gas emissions in oil and gas operations by 2030.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Methane and flare emissions currently account for more than 60 percent of direct (Scope 1 and 2) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the industry.<\/p>\n
Schlumberger chief technology officer Demos Pafitis commented: \u201cWe have created SEES specifically to help our customers deal with one of the most pressing issues of climate change: the urgent need to cut methane emissions. Due to its potency as a GHG and its major share of the industry\u2019s overall operational emissions, tackling methane emissions will make a significant impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
As energy companies seek to operate in a more sustainable manner, they will need to more reliably report and reduce their methane emissions and flaring activity. Currently, when looking for answers and partners to address this challenge, they are faced with a patchwork of disparate offerings\u2014SEES changes that.<\/p>\n
SEES delivers a holistic approach to enable operators to develop a successful methane emissions elimination strategy from the outset. The approach builds on three pillars\u2014plan, measure, and act\u2014that are all underpinned by the industry\u2019s first methane emissions digital platform, accessible in the DELFI* cognitive E&P environment, to provide a comprehensive and differentiated path for operators to achieve their decarbonization objectives:<\/p>\n
Plan:<\/strong> Schlumberger screens a wide array of measurement and abatement solutions to identify the most cost-effective technology mix for any operator\u2019s specific assets.<\/p>\n Measure:<\/strong> Schlumberger uniquely provides operators access to the full range of curated, best-in-class third party and in-house solutions, after rigorous evaluation of 97 methane measurement technologies.<\/p>\n Act:<\/strong> Though other service providers can inform an operator where emissions are occurring, Schlumberger\u2014through its end-to-end offering\u2014first finds the emissions and then takes remedial action to eliminate them.<\/p>\n In addition, robust data and a digital foundation will enable customers to have a secure, reliable single place for integrating multi-source emissions data with advice, plans and insights.<\/p>\n \u201cThe urgency of methane and flare challenges means emission detection, measurement, reporting and abatement approaches need to mature rapidly,\u201d said Kahina Abdeli-Galinier, Schlumberger\u2019s emissions business director. \u201cTo benefit the industry, SEES aspires to become the trusted partner for operators looking to reduce their emissions footprint quickly, credibly, and in the right way. To benefit the planet, our objective is to work with our customers to eliminate 1 percent of all anthropogenic GHG emissions by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n SEES combines Schlumberger\u2019s extensive measurement and planning experience with the ability to assess and implement emerging technology, foundational data, AI, and digital capabilities, and the means to scale and deploy anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n The business has also developed extensive knowledge and expertise in international reporting and certification standards related to GHG emissions. Recent customer engagements include building a digital platform to support a multi-sensor, multi-operator monitoring program, and entering into a consulting contract with an IOC to enable them to comply with the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 framework for methane.<\/p>\n
