Corporations and governments are increasingly prioritizing sustainability goals and emissions mitigation strategies. Simultaneously, electrification, extreme weather, and natural resource constraints are impacting energy and supply chain resilience. We are facing a convergence of a crisis that biofuels, counting agricultural practices and carbon markets can help solve, but adoption is constrained by lifecycle and impact uncertainty. Technology can connect the disconnected, organizing both structured & unstructured data across the value chain, to turn opacity into transparency while delivering intervention and with investment to return confidence.

Building trust requires accurate, auditable emissions data. Modernized life-cycle assessments and digital ledgers are two key tools that can make a difference. 
•    Building trust means implementing new tools and processes that accurately track molecules along the value chain
•    Leveraging emerging technologies to ensure a consistent methodology and commitment to accuracy is key to operational efficiency
•    Combining up-to-date lifecycle assessments with carbon ledgers can create systems that deliver both business opportunity and robust reporting capabilities

•    What are the operator shareholder and stakeholder perspectives on carbon tracking and reporting? 
•    How will the market and customer behavior evolve in the next 10 years regarding the Net Zero 2050 target? 
•    How can the decarbonization, NetZero and ESG strategies be integrated into the long-term company strategy? 
•    What has been done so far? Is it enough? What else is missing to tackle ESG properly and reach NetZero by 2050? 
•    Regulations and standards: Are the laws and regulations updated? What codes or standards should be implemented to guarantee accurate emissions tracking and reporting? 
•    What role will state, and federal tax and tax incentives play to achieve this goal. Is 45Q enough or should it grow further from $85 / ton?  
•    Technology: What innovative technologies should we use to enhance emissions tracking and reach NetZero? Is multi-sensor a solution?

E&P companies can lower corporate-level carbon footprint by targeting depleted oil and gas fields for CO2 storage or EOR while creating additional value in the process. This presentation highlights an integrated framework for emission estimation, production forecasting and economic analysis for lower carbon oil field development optimization and achieving emission reduction goals. Application of the framework to a depleted oil reservoir demonstrates the existing opportunities to utilize subsurface pore space for value creation and emission reduction.

UTILIZING INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, BLOCKCHAIN, AUTOMATION AND IIOT
TO ENHANCE TRACKING AND REPORTING IN OIL AND GAS

Thursday, March 30, 2023
9:40 AM - 10:10 AM

Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) are traditionally capital-intensive installations reserved for large industrial plants. Recognizing the need for direct emissions monitoring, Precision identified vendors outside of oil and gas with solutions we believed could be adapted to survive and thrive on a mobile drilling rig. This presentation will discuss the journey to overcome the intimidating price tag of legacy CEMS systems and embrace collaboration to quickly adapt, adopt, and implement the first CEMS system of its kind in the drilling market.

Energy companies are under extreme pressure to reduce their carbon footprint. Failure to do so could cost businesses billions in fines and shareholder value. Global regulations require companies to take corrective measures to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain. Corrective action goes beyond reporting and must include real-world visibility into the data relationships between operations, production, equipment, maintenance, safety, sensors, vendors, and innovation. This session will demonstrate how Neo4j Graph Data Platform is well suited for building these digital twins because of its ability to unify and analyze complex hierarchical data from disparate legacy and real-time sources.
