When we talk about Actively C.A.R.E.™ (controlling and removing exposures), that can often be interpreted as only focusing on exposures that can harm people on the job. Actively C.A.R.E. is more than that. It encompasses how we approach our relationships, the way we work and the future we hope to leave behind. In this months’ newsletter we are specifically focusing on what we can do to care for our environment.
H&P 2023 Sustainability Highlights:
- Reduced normalized Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by ~3.7% in FY2023
- Achieved 64% of active rigs running below 30% average excess engine hours (saves fuel)
- Reduced normalized emissions intensity per distance drilled by ~25% compared to baseline of FY2018
- 5,770 employees completed Environmental and Emergency Response Trainings
- Our North America Solutions fleet drilled around 20% more distance than in 2018, but used around 20% fewer rigs
We have made tremendous strides over the past two years in reducing our emissions intensity. In 2024, we continue our focus on emissions intensity with an updated goal intended to continue our achievements made year over year. Additionally, we announced a new long-term target intended on reducing our emissions intensity by 30% by 2030 (as compared to 2018).
We also continue to focus on other environmental matters, such as spills, chemicals management, and fluid transfers. I urge you to remain good stewards of the environment by staying vigilant in inspecting your equipment for possible leaks and ensuring that procedures are followed when performing fluid transfers. As we move forward in improving lives through efficient and affordable energy, we must continue to be diligent in our efforts to reduce the impact on the environment and conduct operations in a sustainable way.
