The energy future
West Azeri rig operator, Azerbaijan
We believe that a diverse mix of fuels and technologies can enhance national and global energy security while supporting the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
Our goals
- We seek to engage with governments, universities and others to address the energy challenge.
- We aim to address potential future regulation by factoring a carbon cost into our investment appraisals and engineering designs for new projects where appropriate.
- In our hydraulic fracturing operations, we seek to apply responsible well design and construction, surface operation and fluid handling practices.
