Overview

Rystad Energy's Emissions Solution offers a comprehensive understanding of the environmental performance of the oil and gas industry on both global and regional scales. Annually, approximately 20 gigatonnes of CO₂ emissions are produced worldwide from fossil oil and gas combustion, with 90% stemming from end-use combustion and the remaining 10% from Exploration and Production (E&P) sector activities. Within the E&P sector, about 45% of emissions arise from upstream activities, while 55% originate from midstream and downstream operations, including refining and gas processing. Recognizing methane as the second-largest contributor to climate change, Rystad Energy emphasizes the importance of addressing methane emissions due to its high global warming potential. To tackle this challenge, they have developed a consistent, field-level, upstream oil and gas methane emissions database. This database integrates publicly available methane data, proprietary facility-level estimations, and global satellite measurements, ensuring continuous updates with the latest information. By providing access to such detailed data and expert analyses, Rystad Energy empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions and stay ahead in the evolving energy landscape.
