Upstream Transformation

A one-stop resource for navigating the change in the energy transition.

The Oil & Gas industry has reached an inflection point in the energy transition, as investor, government, and societal demands for climate action now necessitate strategies to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

This requires Upstream players to make critical competitive decisions around portfolio choice and technology application to lower scope 1 and 2 emissions, while maximizing operational efficiency.

The Upstream Transformation service provides insight and analysis to understand trends in reducing, offsetting, and using GHG emissions from core upstream operations and identify emerging best practices in emissions management for companies and governments.
