Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is becoming a common goal for many companies engaged in oil and gas exploration and production. To support this goal, a new project-specific assessment tool has been developed to evaluate the environmental trade-offs and final estimated impact of different drilling fluid system alternatives. The assessment process looks at the end-to-end drilling fluid services processes, guided by principles used in cradle-to-grave lifecycle assessments. This presentation introduces the tool’s assessment methodology; its boundaries; and highlights to what extent basic drilling fluid technology choices can help achieve GHG emission reductions targets and identify which data is most relevant to the drilling fluid decision-making process in the context of GHG emission improvements.
