Reducing environmental footprint without compromising performance

Energy industry oil and gas sector stakeholders, investors, and global and local communities demand to see more tangible, immediate carbon footprint reductions. Choosing solutions that reduce your footprint demonstrably while driving high performance is a daunting process. Decision makers must differentiate what’s meaningful from what’s seen as "greenwash."

Whether you’re already decarbonizing or just getting started, we’re here to help.

Solution

Transition Technologies™: Decarbonizing with proven impact reductions

Our portfolio of Transition Technologies provides measurable reductions in emissions and environmental impacts of oil and gas operations. Using a science-based methodology developed by our engineers, the impacts of these technologies prove to reduce footprint now. Our rigorous method categorizes each technology's environmental attributes and links them to universally recognized United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), demonstrating clear areas of long-term impact and investment.

Our science-based quantification methodology proves the impact of our Transition Technologies.
Our approach defines each technology's environmental attributes that align with relevant UN SDGs.
Our technologies make up an extensive portfolio to help you decarbonize, and each are supported by clear impact calculations to better inform decisions.

Benefits

Show tangible impact
Reducing environmental footprint is a complex effort that we’ve meticulously road mapped to decarbonize our own operations. Our qualified technologies can make it easier. By leveraging their measurable impacts, this added transparency strengthens your sustainability efforts against the ever-growing mandate to reduce emissions.
More sustainability
