In 2021, Obsidian Energy Ltd., headquartered in Canada, reported a total greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of approximately 37.0 kg CO2e per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects the company's commitment to monitoring its carbon footprint within the mineral fuels and oils sector. In 2020 and 2019, the GHG intensity was about 33.0 kg CO2e per boe, indicating a slight increase in emissions intensity over the two years. Obsidian Energy has not disclosed specific Scope 3 emissions data, nor has it set formal reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. The emissions data is sourced directly from Obsidian Energy Ltd. and does not cascade from any parent or related organizations. As the company continues to navigate the evolving landscape of climate commitments, it remains essential for stakeholders to monitor its future disclosures and initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon emissions.
