SLB and Aramco have signed an agreement to co-develop, commercialise and utilise digital solutions to help mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in industrial sectors
These solutions will be integrated within SLB’s digital sustainability platform, building on the collaboration announced in 2022. They include Aramco’s in-house Combined Heat Power (CHP) optimisation solution that could potentially improve energy efficiency, and Flare Monitoring System (FMS) solution to mitigate field emissions, as well as a new co-developed decarbonisation planning solution for the forecasting of emissions, and simulating scenarios that aims to determine optimal GHG emissions mitigation pathways. These solutions are expected to leverage SLB’s digital sustainability platform’s security, data management, analytical, and AI capabilities for access at global scale.
Effective emissions tracking
The SLB digital sustainability platform will enable industrial companies to more easily measure, report and verify their emissions in the drive to net zero, not only assisting customers in ensuring compliance but also enabling them to implement more strategic decarbonisation actions, such as enhancing energy efficiency, reducing methane emissions and advancing carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) initiatives.
“Data is essential to support increasing calls for emissions transparency, and taking decisive actions on decarbonisation investments,” said Rakesh Jaggi, president of Digital and Integration, SLB. “The digital sustainability platform provides the means to leverage data at scale to drive emission reduction outcomes. We aim to expand the SLB suite of solutions with Aramco’s innovative technologies.”
“For several years, Aramco has been working towards mitigating GHG emissions from its operations with its own internally developed technologies,” said Walid A. Al Naeem, Aramco Engineering VP & chief engineer. “This agreement marks another milestone in our partnership with SLB, to bring our innovation and expertise to the global energy and industrial market.”
