Obsidian Energy Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Obsidian Energy Ltd. 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 have they set formal reduction targets or climate pledges as per the available information. The absence of documented reduction initiatives 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 organization. As the company continues to operate in a climate-conscious environment, further commitments and initiatives may be anticipated in the future.
