In 2022, Precision Drilling reported total carbon emissions of approximately 17,800,000 kg CO2e, comprising 12,400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 5,400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight increase from 2021, when total emissions were about 16,800,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 11,500,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 5,300,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Precision Drilling's emissions intensity metrics indicate that in 2022, the GHG emissions intensity was approximately 3,300 kg CO2e per employee and 0.0157 kg CO2e per contract day for Scope 1 emissions. These figures show a decrease in emissions intensity compared to 2021, where the intensity was about 4,600 kg CO2e per employee and 0.015 kg CO2e per contract day. Despite these emissions figures, Precision Drilling has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they made any climate pledges. The absence of such commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. Overall, while Precision Drilling has made strides in tracking and reporting emissions, the lack of reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
