UPSTREAM

The Upstream sector is one of the three major streams of the oil
& gas industry. It mainly includes exploration, drilling, and
exploitation operations.
Upstream Activity
Throughout a life of a well, several operations are conducted,
heavy equipment are used and maintained and a large number of
different types of wastes are generated, this results in a
considerable amount of GHG emissions.

way for upstream oil and gas companies to reduce Scope 1 Fugitive emissions in the oil and gas
emissions industry refer to unintended leaks of
greenhouse gases, and other hazardous air
pollutants from equipment and infrastructure
used in oil and gas operations.

more than 400 million tons of CO2 processes, including natural gas processing
equivalent emissions and refining.
Changing Power Sources

This can be done through :

➔ Using on-site renewable-power generation to provide a

cost-effective alternative to diesel fuel

Reducing Fugitive Emissions
Fugitive emissions can have significant environmental impacts,
contributing to climate change and air pollution.

❖ Once a leak is identified, repairs should be prioritized based on the severity of the
leak and the potential environmental impact.
Reducing Flaring
Flaring is divided into two types:

● Routine flaring

● Non-routine flaring

Reducing Flaring
Flaring is divided into two types:

● Routine flaring

● Non-routine flaring
We can reduce routine and non-routine flaring in the oil and gas industry by:

Reducing Flaring
➔ Improving equipment reliability and maintenance: By carrying out predictive maintenance
( AI ) and replacing equipment.

➔ Investing in infrastructure: By building additional pipelines and gas processing facilities.

➔ Establishing guidelines or regulations: By taking measures such as requiring companies to

report their flaring data and implementing fines or other penalties for excessive flaring.
 SECTOR
MIDSTREAM
Midstream activities refer to the processing, transportation,
and storage of oil and gas before they are delivered to
refineries and end-users..
Midstream Activity
The midstream sector also consumes energy in various forms,
including electricity, diesel, and natural gas. The generation and
consumption of energy contribute significantly to CO2
emissions.
 Reducing Midstream
To reduce CO2 emissions in midstream activities, several solutions can be
implemented:

➔ Increase energy efficiency: Using renewable energy sources to power operations,

replacing older valves and less energy efficient pumps and compressors and
implementing energy-saving measures such as insulation and weatherization.

➔ Optimize Transportation: This can be achieved by using more efficient transportation

modes or implementing better routing systems.
DOWNSTREAM
SECTOR

The Final step in the path of oil and gas, from being in the
ground to being in the hands of consumers. The downstream
sector is a significant contributor to CO2 emissions, mainly
through Refinery heat, Hydrogen production and many more….

 Conclusion
In conclusion, our project presentation highlighted several strategies
to reduce CO2 emissions in the energy industry. We also presented
additional strategies that could be helpful. While some of them may
take time, they are crucial for creating a sustainable future. By
working together and utilizing the best technology and resources,
we can achieve a cleaner energy system.
