The Ipieca Principles and the Ipieca-WBCSD SDG Roadmap are key frameworks through which Ipieca aims to inspire action. This repository provides tangible examples of how members are operationalising the principles and embedding SDG Roadmap actions in their business, offering inspiration and insights for other companies. The examples are supplemented with relevant Ipieca good practice guidance and resources to further support companies to take the next step on their sustainability journey.
SLB's End-to-end Emissions Solutions (SEES) business unveiled its next-generation methane point instrument, a self-installed continuous methane monitoring system for oil and gas operations, offering accurate and cost-effective detection, localization, and quantification of methane emissions.
As part of its commitment to sustainability and transparency in the energy sector, Aramco supports the Archie Initiative, a scientific project aimed at improving estimations of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhancing transparency in the global energy supply chain.
The Permian Basin is a large area, and methane emissions can be difficult to detect from the ground. ExxonMobil has developed a balloon, nearly the size of a basketball court, which carries advanced imaging technology and data processing platforms that can detect methane emissions over a vast area.
QatarEnergy and Chevron have partnered with Pavilion Energy to create a Statement of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Methodology. The initiative is one of the first to develop and publish a methodology specifically to quantify the GHG emissions associated with a delivered LNG cargo.
Integrated energy hubs have the potential to combine multiple energy systems, including existing oil and gas production assets, carbon storage and hydrogen production facilities. Neptune Energy signed a memorandum of understanding with Ørsted and Goal7 to explore powering new integrated energy hubs in the UK North Sea with offshore wind-generated electricity.
At its Gamba-Ivinga field, Assala Energy's electrical submersible pumps were powered by diesel generators, which generate GHG emissions. The Gamba Power Plant (GPP) was completed in September 2021, providing gas-powered energy and the capacity to start replacing some of these diesel generators.
Ovintiv's water resource hubs in the Cutbank Ridge of its Montney operating area are closed-loop systems that run on hydropower. Since the hubs have opened, they have conserved approximately 1.3 billion gallons of freshwater, equivalent to the average annual water use of approximately 9,000 households.
Empire Wind (a 50:50 partnership with bp) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) announced in September 2022 the extension to 2028 of their historic agreement to monitor large whales in the lease area of Empire Wind. The new agreement ensures that important data to protect wildlife in the New York Bight will be collected during the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction phases of the wind project.
Murphy actively monitors its fresh water sources to predict the high-flow periods for long- and short-term forecasting. Fluctuations in moisture levels year-over-year, and the potential impacts of climate change on water resources, make it increasingly necessary to understand the impact on freshwater availability.
Hess is donating $50 million over the next five years to the Salk Institute's Harnessing Plants Initiative (HPI), which aims to combat climate change by developing plants' natural ability to capture and store potentially billions of tons of carbon per year from the atmosphere.
bp and EnBW were awarded a ~860km2 lease option off the east coast of Scotland to develop a major offshore wind project, Morven. As part of their commitment to support oil and gas workers through employment and provide opportunities for reskilling in renewables, bp and EnBW have committed more than £1 million to X-Academy in Scotland.
