The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) has collected environmental data from its member companies on an annual basis for the past 16 years. The programme was set up in response to the industry's wish to be more transparent about its operations and to enable IOGP member companies to compare their performance with that of other companies in the sector. The ultimate aim is to provide a representative statement on the environmental performance in the upstream oil and gas industry. This paper will discuss the analysis of submissions by participating member companies for the years 2013 and 2014. Data were reported by participating companies in the following 6 environmental indicator categories: gaseous emissions; energy consumption; flaring; aqueous discharges; non-aqueous drilling fluids retained on cuttings discharged to sea; and spills of oil and chemicals. The data represent oil and gas wellhead production of 2.1 billion tonnes. Forty three companies took part in 2013 and 2014, operating in more than 80 countries worldwide, and the database now represents what is probably the most comprehensive set of reliable information on cross company performance in the industry. Performance results are presented on a global and regional basis, onshore and offshore, and normalised to hydrocarbon production. Results are shown, for ease of comparison, alongside the previous year's published results. |
