COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BY NNPC, U.S., AND DELOITTE TO ADDRESS GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION REDUCTION IN RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

The NNPC Ltd, in partnership with the U.S. Department of States and global consultancy firm, Deloitte, is collaborating on a project to achieve net-zero carbon goals by reducing methane and greenhouse gas emissions from upstream operations. This initiative, still in its early stages, was the focal point of a three-day workshop on methane abatement and decarbonization in the oil and gas sector, held at the PTDF Tower in Abuja.

The workshop aimed to define critical success factors for the project and discussed various aspects such as scoping, establishing emission baselines, and collecting data on selected sites. OML 34 in the Western Niger Delta, featuring the Utorogu and Ughelli Fields, was chosen as the pilot site for the project. Participants included NNPC Ltd. subsidiaries, government departments, and agencies like the National Council on Climate Change. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Energy Resources, the project aims to address environmental concerns in the energy sector.
