Climate Goals & Targets
Long-term Goals:
- Not disclosed
Medium-term Goals:
- Not disclosed
Short-term Goals:
- Increase lower-emission fleet to approximately 75% by the end of 2024.
Environmental Challenges
- Growth of business and higher operating intensity of equipment increased Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
- Customer decisions influence many aspects of completion services (pumping hours, equipment use intensity, crew size, fuel type) impacting GHG emissions.
- Cybersecurity threats
Mitigation Strategies
