Shelf Drilling's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Shelf Drilling reported total carbon emissions of approximately 296,371,000 kg CO2e, comprising 296,371,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 661,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 331,693,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 emissions recorded at about 252,943,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 680,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 292,056,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). Over the years, Shelf Drilling has demonstrated fluctuations in its emissions profile. For instance, in 2021, the company reported approximately 242,735,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 617,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 58,996,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The trend indicates a significant increase in Scope 3 emissions, which rose from about 33,533,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 331,693,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Shelf Drilling. The company has not specified any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal reduction commitments. As a result, the industry context suggests that while Shelf Drilling is actively reporting its emissions, it may need to establish clearer climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
