Scope 3 emissions, specifically business travel, amounted to approximately 34.1 million kg CO2e.
In 2023, Noble's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 858.1 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 1.0 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 business travel emissions were approximately 21.9 million kg CO2e.
Looking back to 2022, Noble reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 597.7 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 4.2 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year.
In 2021, Noble's total emissions were approximately 326 million kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of around 309 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 17 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 67 million kg CO2e.
Noble has set an ambitious target to decrease the carbon intensity of its drilling operations by 20% by 2030, using 2021 as the baseline year. This intensity measure is calculated as metric tons of CO2e per contracted day for rig type, encompassing both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The company also aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade. Noble is involved in Project Greensand, with a right to all associated drilling work until the end of 2027, further demonstrating their engagement in climate-related initiatives.
