We welcome the North Sea Transition Authority's recent announcement analysing the benefits of domestic gas when comparing its carbon footprint with that of imported LNG, whose average carbon intensity is almost 4 times that of UK production. We are proud that our team's consistent focus on responsible operations means that, in 2022, gas exported from our Bruce facilities (including the Bruce, Keith & Rhum fields), had a carbon intensity of 16.4kg of CO2 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe), well below the UK, domestic gas average of 21 kg CO2/boe and imported gas at 79 kg CO2/boe https://lnkd.in/eK4NX9c7
Nice platform to work ,fantastic HSE practises and standards.

1yThe UK imports half of its gas via pipeline from Norway, which has a carbon intensity of 8 kgCO2/boe. The North Sea Transition Authority figure of 79 kgCO2/boe is from the average of LNG suppliers to the UK. Using volume-weighted figures, the carbon intensity of piped and shipped gas imports to the UK is around 39 kgCO2/boe. So UK domestic gas is relatively cleaner than imported volumes, but not as clean as it claims it is. Yet, UK domestic gas is twice as carbon intense as that of Norway, which is the benchmark that UKCS Operators should be striving to match.
