Sustainability

The availability of energy storage solutions and intelligent engine management systems enables companies to increase efficiencies and lower costs and emissions while maintaining power and performance.

As a major contributor to the world's energy needs, the oil and gas industry plays a crucial role in ensuring that this goal is realized. Despite crude oil's increasing importance to the global economy's ever-increasing demand, hydrocarbons are widely acknowledged as a major source of pollutants in terrestrial, atmospheric and ocean ecosystems.

A unique collaboration is enhancing gas production, reducing emissions, and boosting revenue generation while controlling costs.

(WO) — PT Pertamina (Persero) reaffirms its commitment to lead Indonesia's decarbonization efforts through a $2 billion collaboration with ExxonMobil. The companies have partnered to develop a carbon capture storage (CCS) hub in the Java Sea with a capacity of up to 3 gigatons of CO2.

(Bloomberg) — ExxonMobil Corp. cautioned that branding the oil industry as “villains” and attempting to limit the supply of fossil fuels will impede progress toward achieving net zero emissions, potentially perpetuating poverty for millions in the developing world.

Decarbonizing the well construction process while ensuring safety and performance standards is critical to our industry’s pathway to net zero. EcoShield™ geopolymer cement-free system is a breakthrough that delivers industry-standard zonal isolation capabilities while significantly minimizing the impact from upstream oil and gas production. EcoShield aims to minimize the CO2 footprint for oil and gas well construction and beyond. An industry-first technology eliminates up to 85 percent of embodied CO2 emissions compared with conventional cement systems. EcoShield system has the potential to avoid up to 5 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. EcoShield family of products can be deployed throughout various phases of the well life cycle including abandonment across a range of field applications, including corrosive environments while delivering superior technical performance. The technology fits within standard oilfield cementing workflows without major changes to the design process, onsite execution, or post-job evaluation. EcoShield is an example of forward-thinking, innovative technology that will be able to be scaled and deployed to help continue the decarbonization of the oil and gas industry. These types of more sustainable, lower-carbon technologies are critically important today as we continue to discover and develop the new energy solutions of tomorrow.

Tackling scope one emissions from oil and gas operations requires innovative, purpose-built technologies that are economic and scalable. By incorporating a combination of advanced technologies such as engine management, fuel enhancing additives, traditional highline power sources, and energy storage systems into drilling operations we can effectively reduce scope one emissions from operations. We will showcase our comprehensive portfolio of drilling technologies, designed to reduce carbon emissions and fuel costs across the globe, regardless of rig type.

Jereh showcased its portfolio of sustainable technologies including oil field equipment, technical services, EPC for upstream and midstream of oil and gas development and production chain, as well as new energy and environment management industries at ADIPEC 2023.
