It’s big. It’s complicated – and everyone is talking about it.
The drive to reduce emissions and move to a lower-carbon world is pushing the boundaries of companies involved in sustainably producing affordable energy to meet global needs. Unstopped by the COVID-19 pandemic, which slowed oil activity but strengthened the roles of digitalization and automation in energy, many industry players are pushing forward on long-term plans despite the uncertainty brought by daily swings in oil and gas prices.
From investor calls to annual reports, ESG is the talk of the town for both operators and service companies facing immense pressure to lower the carbon footprint of their operations, and clearly, fracking is no exception. Upstream companies are increasingly focusing on adopting an ESG-conscious approach to fracking operations amid constant scrutiny of the impact of hydraulic fracturing on the environment and climate change.
The focus on sustainable production has intensified the need to invest in cleaner technologies as companies continue designing and implementing new solutions to minimize the carbon footprint of the fracturing business.
