Understanding the sources of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions and their visibility within the energy industry is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies and achieving sustainability goals. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the data visibility of GHG emission sources in oil and gas production operations.
The study encompasses an extensive review of literature, industry reports, and technological frameworks to identify the primary sources of GHG emissions in oil and gas production. These sources include flaring, venting, fugitive emissions, and combustion processes. Each source is examined regarding its potential emissions, monitoring techniques, and data visibility. Moreover, this paper highlights the challenges faced by companies in accurately measuring, monitoring, and reporting GHG emissions, such as technological limitations, data collection complexities, and the lack of standardized reporting frameworks.
In this paper, the author investigates the existing requirements and voluntary initiatives to improve data visibility and transparency. Furthermore, the paper presents emerging technologies and best practices to enhance GHG emissions data visibility. It discusses implementing advanced monitoring systems and emphasizes the importance of digitalization and data analytics in capturing, analyzing, and visualizing GHG emissions data for better decision-making and performance tracking.
The findings of this paper shed light on the current best practices, potential limitations, and opportunities regarding GHG emissions data visibility in oil and gas production operations. The analysis underscores the need for stronger collaboration between industry stakeholders to establish consistent reporting frameworks and standards. It also emphasizes the importance of technological innovation and data-driven approaches to enable more efficient emissions monitoring and reduction strategies.
This paper serves as a comprehensive overview of GHG emission source data visibility in oil and gas production operations. It provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by the industry, highlights potential solutions, and emphasizes the importance of enhanced data visibility for achieving sustainability goals in the context of climate change.
