Abstract:
In the context of advancing sustainability goals, an operator faced challenges in drilling an ultra- deepwater exploration well offshore Malaysia, prompting the need for a solution to mitigate risks while minimizing environmental impact. Through a comprehensive life cycle analysis, emissions were quantified, and an emission baseline was established, laying the groundwork for achieving sustainability key performance indicators (KPIs). Baker Hughes' recommendation of their DELTA TEQ™ low-impact drilling fluid system, coupled with the unique rheology modifier additives, not only addressed operational challenges but also facilitated a significant 21% reduction in emissions. This integrated solution underscores a proactive approach towards sustainability in the oil and gas sector, leveraging data-driven insights to drive environmentally conscious practices and achieve overarching sustainability objectives.
