In 2023, Weatherford reported total carbon emissions of approximately 77306000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 116153000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 595578000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 595578000 kg CO2e. In previous years, Weatherford's emissions intensity was recorded at 0.0367 for Scope 1 and 2 in 2022 and 0.0148 in 2019, reflecting a change in operational efficiency relative to revenue, which was approximately 4331000000 USD in 2022 and 4954000000 USD in 2019. Despite these figures, Weatherford has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions. Overall, Weatherford's emissions data highlights the challenges faced by the oil and gas sector in managing carbon outputs, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of a company's total emissions.
