Precision Drilling's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Precision Drilling reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19,600,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 15,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 4,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This marks an increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 18,300,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 12,500,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 5,800,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Precision Drilling has shown a commitment to monitoring and reporting its greenhouse gas emissions, focusing on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. However, there are currently no disclosed targets for emissions reduction or specific climate pledges. The company has not provided data on Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the value chain. Precision Drilling's emissions intensity for drilling activities has been reported, with a Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity of about 1,000 kg CO2e per tonne in 2024, compared to approximately 1,090 kg CO2e per tonne in 2023. This indicates a slight improvement in emissions efficiency relative to their drilling activities. Overall, while Precision Drilling is actively tracking its emissions, the absence of specific reduction targets or initiatives suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action within the industry context.
