How can we secure an energy supply for the future and at the same time reduce overall emissions? We believe there is no single answer to that crucial question, but rather a number of separate, complementary measures to be used in combination.

In 2013, flaring of associated gas generated approximately 30% of our greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, our job is to produce energy, but we also use energy to do that. Because our energy use accounts for a large share of our greenhouse gas emissions and has a cost, it is important that we reduce it. We have a dual imperative: reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, notably by halving flaring between 2005 and 2014, and commoditizing a valuable energy source wherever possible.

Water is a natural resource that can sometimes be hard to access. That’s why we constantly strive to optimize our water use and improve the quality of the water we discharge.
