Delivering Performance with Purpose
Sustainability Highlights
Set Emission Reduction Target
Noble aspires to reduce carbon intensity by 20 percent by 2030. The targeted reduction is to be achieved through tried and tested methods within energy consumption monitoring, energy management plans and sustainable behavior programs, as well as matured energy efficiency upgrades.
Implemented Digital Energy Efficiency Insights
Energy Efficiency Insights (EEI) energy consumption monitoring solution now implemented across all 29 marketed rigs. EEI, supported by the sustainable behavior program, can potentially deliver 6–10 percent reductions in fuel consumption and derived emissions.
World’s First Green Methanol Drilling Rig Design
Conceptual design of a jackup rig powered by green methanol completed. Using green methanol in place of traditional diesel fuel on a jackup rig can potentially result in up to 95 percent CO₂ emission reductions.
Completed Successful CO₂ Injection Pilot
Project Greensand performed its first injection at the Nini field offshore Denmark using the Noble Resolve. This is the first time ever CO₂ has been captured shoreside, transported cross-border, and intended to be permanently stored subsea.
