Decarbonization plan leverages technology to
address operational emissions, customer emissions, and
carbon-negative actions
Schlumberger announced today its commitment to achieve net-zero
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Guided by climate science,
Schlumberger has spent 18 months conducting extensive analysis and
working with experts to produce a decarbonization plan. With
minimal reliance on offsets, the plan is focused on reducing Scope
1, 2 and 3 emissions across the oil and gas value chain—including
the introduction of its Transition
Technologies portfolio to assist its customers and the wider
industry in their decarbonization commitments.
Schlumberger is committed to getting to net zero, using 2019 as a baseline year, supported
by a comprehensive near-term emission reduction roadmap and interim
targets:
- By 2025, a 30% reduction in Scopes 1 and 2
- By 2030, a 50% reduction in Scopes 1 and 2; 30% reduction in
Scope 3
- By 2050, Net Zero, with minimal reliance on offsets
Along this journey to net zero, Schlumberger will ensure
transparency in alignment with the Task Force on Climate-related
Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and Sustainability Accounting Boards
(SASB) frameworks. In this context, Schlumberger is working with
the Science-Based Target initiative for formal external validation
of its 2030 target.
“There is a new industry imperative to address climate change
while meeting the demand for energy both today and in the long
term, sustainably. We have a 2050 net-zero carbon emissions
ambition which I believe is unique in our industry due to our
capabilities as a technology company and our culture grounded in
science. This reinforces our commitment to unlocking access to
energy, for the benefit of all,” said Olivier Le Peuch, chief
executive officer, Schlumberger. “Our net-zero target is inclusive
of total Scope 3 emissions; this is a first in the energy services
industry.”
“Our decarbonization plans are based upon climate science and
focused on three key areas: operational emissions; customer
emissions; and carbon-negative actions,” said Katharina Beumelburg,
chief strategy and sustainability officer, Schlumberger. “75% of
Schlumberger’s baseline GHG footprint comes from the technologies
our customers use. To address this, Schlumberger has introduced our
Transition Technologies portfolio, which is designed to help
customers reduce their Scope 1 and 2 emissions, while
simultaneously enabling us to meet our Scope 3 emissions
target.”
The Transition Technologies
portfolio will address fugitive emissions, flaring
reduction, electrification, well construction emissions, and full
field development solutions. Comprised of proprietary technologies
and solutions, these will help to reduce direct and indirect
emissions along with other environmental attributes, while
simultaneously driving efficiency, reliability, and performance. To
quantify the impact of these technologies, Schlumberger has
developed a robust framework that enables standardization of
measurement, benchmarking through net-footprint comparisons, and
ultimately better-informed technology selection during
planning.
Schlumberger’s decarbonization plan is aligned with the Paris
Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, achieving
a climate neutral world by mid-century. Schlumberger is on track to
achieve its previously set near-term emissions reduction target of
30% by 2025 for Scope 1 and 2, ahead of schedule.
