The two main value drivers of the project were to minimize health, safety, and environmental effects and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in line with the company’s goal of moving toward net zero by 2050 and to maximize hydrocarbon recovery.

The emissions intensity of production is expected to decline further because of the continued shift toward newer and more productive operations in the deep water and other factors.

The company has acquired Dublin-based Enviroguide Consulting in an effort to increase its focus on environmental concerns.

The project aims to power subsea equipment with wave power and subsea energy storage. The two technologies have been deployed in the seas off Orkney, Scotland, and have begun a test program where they will provide low-carbon power and communication to infrastructure.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service said the dunes sagebrush lizard, which lives in and around the Permian Basin region, should be listed as an endangered species.
