Plans to work together and create a digital platform that would offer sustainability solutions for challenging industrial sectors have been made public by Schlumberger and Saudi Aramco. Companies in sectors such as oil and gas, chemicals, utilities, cement, and steel will be able to use the proposed platform to collect, measure, report, and verify their emissions while also analysing various decarbonization pathways.
Olivier Le Peuch, CEO at Schlumberger, explained: “Aramco and Schlumberger are hoping to draw on our long history of collaboration and partnership to deliver a digital sustainability ecosystem that enables global organizations to manage their carbon emissions and realize ambitious sustainability goals. The sustainability platform will be a game changer for the energy and hard-to-abate industry sectors as they look toward a lower-carbon future.”

“This collaboration represents an unprecedented opportunity for both companies to leverage digitalization to tackle one of the most critical challenges of our generation. At the same time, it would expand digital capabilities within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and harness Schlumberger’s global reach to potentially deliver a worldwide impact,” said Ahmad A. Al-Sa’adi, Senior Vice-President of Technical Services at Aramco.
Customers will be able to track and report baselines, targets, emissions, offsets, and credits
Customers will be able to track and report baselines, targets, emissions, offsets, and credits, which will improve the availability and accessibility of pertinent data flexibly and transparently while enabling users to manage their carbon footprints more efficiently.
The platform, which is built on an open architecture, will eventually include workflows for measuring and managing methane emissions, reducing and preventing flaring, water sustainability and management, and carbon capture and storage, among other areas of ongoing and future sustainability issues.
