Abstract
- Service contractors are heavily engaged in the energy transition and decarbonisation process, designing and executing capital projects and asset upgrades that will sustain the new look economy. The next question is what can service contractors do to directly contribute to a reduction in carbon emissions and fossil fuel use? This review will examine the impact of updating our service delivery to drive down energy consumption and emissions, and plan for a future where renewable energy can power the field services we provide. Upstream Production Solutions (Upstream PS) has started on our journey of monitoring the greenhouse gas emissions for our business as per AS ISO 14064, and while we are below the 50 kt threshold for a registered reporting entity as per the Australian National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 , the increased awareness has helped us identify key areas where we can make positive changes in our business and directly contribute to emissions reduction: development of fit for purpose company standards; optimised selection of mobile fleet; improved planning and scheduling leading to reduced kilometres driven and emissions; and incorporating low-emissions technology options into our services. Upstream PS will share our progress as we pursue practical improvements while maintaining, and even improving, the delivery of our services.
