Oil & Gas · Integrated Oil & Gas

← all sectors

Oil & gas firms have material Scope 1+2+3 emissions across upstream, midstream and downstream. Per-revenue intensity remains the standard reference here — margin variance is smaller than in services.

Key carbon drivers
  • Combustion of sold products
    Petrol burned in cars, gas burned for heating and power. Typically 80-90% of total emissions.
    Scope 3 · cat 11 (use of sold products)
  • Upstream operations
    Process combustion, flaring, vented + fugitive methane from production. The biggest direct lever.
    Scope 1
  • Refining + processing electricity
    Grid + on-site purchased power for refineries, gas plants, terminals.
    Scope 2
  • Other supply chain
    Equipment, services, transport across the value chain.
    Scope 3 · cats 1, 4
Scope references follow the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard + Scope 3 Standard.
Reference transition plan
IEA Net Zero by 2050 + SBTi Oil & Gas (draft) + TPI

IEA's Net Zero scenario implies no new oil and gas exploration from 2021 onwards. SBTi has draft Oil & Gas pathway methodology. TPI (Transition Pathway Initiative) assesses majors' alignment with 1.5°C and 'Below 2°C' benchmarks annually.

Each strip shows where every firm in the cohort sits on one intensity axis. Lower is better — left of the strip is best, right is worst. Each peer dot tooltips its value and the year it came from. Financial denominators are converted to USD before computing so cross-currency comparisons are apples-to-apples.
