Environmental Challenges
- Market: Possible decline in market demand for oil resulting in stranded assets.
- Price volatility of oil and gas.
- Technology: Widespread adoption of green/disruptive technologies displacing demand for oil.
- Policy and Legal: Tightening government policies on climate rules, implementation of domestic and cross border carbon tax.
- Reputation: Stigmatisation of the oil and gas sector due to perceptions of the sector’s contribution to climate change or detraction from energy transition.
- Climate-related physical risks, both acute and chronic, arising from extreme weather events and shifts in climate pattern may cause disruption to our business and have an impact on our portfolio of hydrocarbon assets.
Mitigation Strategies
- Improving the resilience of our hydrocarbon portfolio through the latest proposed acquisition of TotalEnergies Holdings International B.V. assets
- Implementing internal carbon pricing for development projects within the UK.
- Implementing continuous improvement in resource and operational efficiency, to further reduce unit production cost.
- Engaging in a progressive and measured exploration of investments in clean energy.
- Developing our decarbonisation roadmap that includes future initiatives for us to achieve our Scopes 1 and 2 reduction target of 50% by 2030 against FY2020 baseline.
- Pursuing decarbonisation opportunities, towards achieving our aspirational target of being Net Zero Emissions Producer by 2050, including: Fuel switching, Switching to energy efficient LED lights, Flare tip upgrades, Implementing Phase 2 of the Advanced Membrane trial, Undertaking first Methane Quantification Surveys, Undertaking an emission reduction focused Partner Workshop, Performing CCS studies, Implementing leak detection and repair (LDAR) programmes, Exploring opportunities for cost recovery of eligible decarbonising projects via carbon market.
- Maintaining our constituency on the F4GBM Index.
- Improving disclosure on waste and water management with the inclusion of data on total waste generated and total water used.
- Assessing any potential impact of climate-related physical risks, charting and implementing the necessary climate adaptation measures accordingly.
