Insights Article Piloting the world’s first wells using 100% low-carbon power
What does sustainably powered drilling look like today and where is it heading? The answer lies in emissions-free hydrogen fuel cells.
Build upstream oil and gas infrastructure with a lower carbon footprint
Reducing emissions and producing oil and gas with the lowest carbon intensity has quickly become a critical performance measure. Achieving these objectives starts with building your infrastructure with the smallest carbon footprint possible. This means finding solutions that help create more efficiencies, using low-carbon consumables, designing operations with a smaller physical footprint, and cutting down on waste. The real challenge is choosing the solutions that demonstrably reduce your environmental impact while continuing to drive high performance.
By understanding your performance goals, we can tackle these challenges together.
The less fuel the rig uses, the less emissions it produces. These technologies are proved to accelerate your well construction by improving drilling efficiency and optimizing rig power generation.
