Environmental performance in the E&P industry – 2010 data

Oct 2011

This report summarises information on exploration and production (E&P) activities carried out by contributing OGP member companies in 2010. 36 member companies, working in 68 countries worldwide, have submitted data for the report.

This total includes 2 companies reporting for the first time this year and 34 of the 35 companies that contributed data in 2009. Information is aggregated at both global and regional levels and is expressed within 6 environmental indicator categories: Gaseous emissions; Energy consumption; Flaring; Aqueous discharges; Discharges of non-aqueous drilling fluids on cuttings; and Spills of oil and chemicals.

These data represent oil & gas wellhead production of 2,268 million tonnes (about 33% of 2010 global production sales in the BP Energy Review 2011). However, regional coverage is uneven, ranging from almost all known production in Europe to 9% in the Former Soviet Union.
