This marks a slight increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 18,300,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 12,500,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 5,800,000 kg CO2e. The company has consistently disclosed its emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 over the past several years, with 2022 emissions recorded at about 17,800,000 kg CO2e, and 2021 emissions at approximately 16,800,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the 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 for 2024. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their recent disclosures, Precision Drilling remains committed to transparency in its emissions reporting. The data is sourced directly from Precision Drilling Corporation, with no cascaded emissions data from a parent or related organization. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future focus as the company continues to enhance its climate commitments.
