Full textAbstract:
Global and uncontrolled climate change has caused a variety of problems and has become one of the biggest environmental issues in recent years. Indonesia is the fifth largest carbon emitting country in the world and as a country that has signed the Kyoto Protocol must participate in efforts to reduce carbon emissions. According to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, industry is one of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions. This is one of the reasons why companies (industries) must contribute to reducing carbon emissions. Efforts made by companies are to do carbon emission disclosure. Carbon emission disclosure in Indonesia is still a voluntary disclosure so that not all companies make disclosures in their financial statements. This study aims to obtain empirical evidence about the factors that drive companies to conduct carbon emission disclosure. The determinant variables of carbon emission disclosure in this study are profitability, leverage, environmental performance, company size, and corporate governance, by taking samples of companies listed on the Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI) for the period 2007-2017. Determination of the research sample using purposive sampling method and data analysis techniques using the multiple linear regression method. The results showed that profitability, environmental performance, company size, and corporate governance had a positive effect on carbon emission disclosure while leverage had no effect on carbon emission disclosure. This research contribution provides empirical evidence about profitability, environmental performance, company size, and corporate governance are factors that drives companies to do carbon emission disclosure in Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examined the performance of corporate South Africa in the 2012 Carbon Disclosure Project [CDP]. It is motivated by the growing shift to climate performance amongst the JSE listed companies in South Africa; hence the paper showcases the commitment of corporations in South Africa towards carbon disclosure. It thus shows exemplary commitment by corporations in an emerging economy to curb GHG emission through disclosure. The paper compared corporate South Africa carbon disclosure performance in 2012 with the 2011 disclosure performance. First, the performance of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) 100 carbon performance leaders were examined; and using a statistical t-test of difference in means, the paper finds that the 2012 carbon performance improved remarkably over the 2011 performance; hence the T-test indicates a significant difference in means between the 2012 and 2011 carbon performance. Secondly, the paper also examined the climate performance of the JSE 100 companies and also found a significant difference between the 2011 and 2012 performance which also depicts an improvement over the 2011 climate performance. It is perceptible that the 2011 UN Climate Conference in South Africa, coupled with the SA’s outstanding role in global climate change negotiations and the Carbon Disclosure Project is driving corporate SA to ‘walk the talk’ on climate change. In conclusion the paper highlights the need for further corporate climate initiatives, and calls on governments of developing countries to take a bold stance on climate negotiations as this is a key to encouraging the corporate toward climate friendly and carbon reduction initiatives

Full textAbstract:
There has been a continuous and controversial debate about the relationship between carbon performance, carbon disclosure, and economic performance. This study investigates whether corporate economic performance is influenced by carbon performance and disclosure and whether carbon (media) legitimacy mediates such relationships. This study provides a broader understanding of the relationship between carbon performance, disclosure, and economic performance by investigating the mediating role of carbon (media) legitimacy, and offers further evidence from the UK context. Based on a balanced panel data of 95 UK firms between 2009 and 2014 (amounting to 475 observations in total) and using path analysis, we find that improving the company’s carbon performance is not financed by shareholders, and carbon (media) legitimacy as an intangible asset enhances the economic performance of the firm. We also find that while carbon disclosure does not directly improve economic performance, it indirectly does so via carbon (media) legitimacy. Finally, the results show while carbon performance is not reflected in carbon (media) legitimacy, carbon disclosure as a legitimizing tool strongly enhances carbon (media) legitimacy. Overall, our results suggest that voluntary carbon disclosure, regardless of the firm’s underlying carbon performance, is an effective tool to manage corporate (media) legitimacy, and subsequently improve economic performance. Thus, voluntary carbon disclosure in the UK may hinder future improvements in a firm’s carbon performance.

Full textAbstract:
This study introduces the concept of carbon proactivity and considers not only the quantity of emissions but also corporate carbon-reduction efforts and actions to explore the relationship between carbon proactivity, the emissions trading scheme (ETS) mechanism, and corporate financial performance. A matched-pair approach was adopted to explore the difference in carbon proactivity between ETS and non-ETS firms. The study aims to investigate the impacts of an ETS on corporate carbon proactivity and whether participating in an ETS can help a firm achieve a desired outcome in which it can improve both environmental and economic performance. Using manually collected data on carbon disclosure, it was found that carbon proactivity is higher among firms that participate in an ETS than among those that do not, and carbon proactivity is trending upward for the participating firms. In addition, evidence suggests that while investing more resources in carbon proactivity decreases current financial performance, it will boost future financial performance. This relationship is observed among firms that participate in an ETS. This study extends the understanding of the relationship between ETSs, corporate carbon proactivity, and corporate financial performance. It also provides evidence on how to improve the ETS mechanism.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change and global warming have received heightened attention over the last few decades across different societies. As one of the biggest polluters of CO2e, companies can play an important role in tackling climate change and global warming. Despite such an important role, a limited numbers of studies have been conducted in the carbon accounting discipline. The major concern that this study addresses is whether voluntary carbon disclosure, and especially self-serving (symbolic) information, may actually hinder future improvements in corporate carbon performance. This study investigates this concern by proposing a model that investigates the interrelationships between carbon performance, carbon disclosure, carbon reputation and a firm‟s economic performance within a single inclusive model. Following previous studies suggesting that the relationship between corporate environmental behaviour and a firm‟s environmental reputation may vary across environmental sensitive and non-sensitive industries, and in line with the aim and objectives of this study, separate path analysis models have been run for carbon intensive and non-intensive industry sectors. Therefore, a comparative study was employed to understand the similarities and differences between these two different industry sectors. Based on the pooled cross-sectional time series data of 95 UK firms (40 carbon intensive companies and 55 non-intensive companies) over the period 2009 to 2014 and by employing a time sequence design, this study found that poor carbon performers disclose more carbon information in non-intensive industries. The results showed that corporate carbon performance is not reflected in corporate carbon reputation and, more interestingly, the worst performers in carbon non-intensive industries have a better carbon reputation. The results also showed that, unlike carbon non-intensive companies where only the quality of carbon disclosure improves carbon reputation, the quantity of such disclosure (irrespective of its quality) enhances the carbon reputation of the firms with greater carbon exposure (i.e. carbon intensive companies). No direct and indirect (through carbon reputation) relationship was found between carbon performance, as well as carbon disclosure and a firm‟s economic performance, plus carbon reputation as an intangible asset only improves economic performance of carbon intensive companies. Finally, the bootstrapping method indicated that carbon reputation fully mediates the impact of the quantity of carbon disclosure in carbon intensive companies on corporate economic performance. In other words, by disclosing more carbon information (irrespective of its quality), carbon intensive companies can improve their carbon reputation and subsequently enjoy better economic performance. This study has several implications for corporate managers, investors, media and policy makers. The results showed that carbon reputation appears to be an important factor in the decision making of investors who invest in carbon intensive companies. Since carbon reputation of these companies is not based on either real carbon performance or quality of carbon disclosure, investors need to be cautious when making a decision. The results also showed a certain degree of naivety on the part of the media in evaluating corporate carbon behaviour. Such investors and media behaviour can actually reduce management‟s incentive to improve their real carbon performance in the future. The results send a clear message to regulatory bodies whose current policy for voluntary carbon disclosure is not sufficient enough to address the heart of climate change and global warming. Finally, the results also send a massage to corporate managements that improving corporate carbon performance does not come out of shareholders' pockets.

That companies need to respond to the issue of climate change is no longer in question and with multiple carbon management activity options to choose from, companies need to select the most appropriate carbon management strategy to meet the challenges of a carbon constrained future. Because of South Africa’s vulnerability to the impacts of climate change as a developing country and because of business’ pivotal role in addressing this urgent issue, it is important to characterise the corporate responses to climate change. The contextual factors that influence carbon management strategy decisions need to be understood so that appropriate policy decisions are taken to encourage innovation related to climate change opportunities.To this end, secondary data in the form of qualitative responses from 70 large South African listed companies to the Carbon Disclosure Project 2011 questionnaire were analysed for this study during September and October 2012. The detailed responses were first mined using a text-mining statistical program to identify the five carbon management activities currently practised by the companies. A cluster analysis of these activities revealed four general response strategies to climate change and carbon emission reduction pressures.The companies were found to have a strong focus on saving energy with less focus on higher-order sustainability activities. While market capitalisation, turnover, sector and carbon commitment were shown to correlate and indeed predict the carbon management strategy chosen by companies, no significant link was found between carbon management strategy and corporate financial performance.Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
Although stakeholder theory is widely accepted in environmental disclosure research, empirical evidence about the role of stakeholders in firms’ disclosure is still scarce. The authors address this issue for a setting of carbon disclosure. Our international sample comprises the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Global 500, S&P 500, and FTSE 350 reports from 2008 to 2011, resulting in a total of 1,120 firms with 3,631 firm-year observations. The authors apply Tobit regressions to analyze the relationship between carbon disclosure and the relevance of the following stakeholder groups: government, general public, media, employees, and customers. Our results confirm that in addition to carbon performance, all stakeholders are associated with carbon disclosure. Only one stakeholder group (government) acts as a moderator for the relationship between carbon performance and carbon disclosure. Furthermore, the authors find that carbon performance but not the affiliation to a carbon-intensive industry acts as a moderator between stakeholder relevance and carbon disclosure.

Based on the fact that the globalization has affected the economic and commercial trade exchanges between countries more frequently, the issue of greenhouse effect and environmental pollution has also become increasingly concerned by the government. In order to meet the requirements of laws and regulations and enhance corporate impression, enterprises will move toward the green management business model. Also,the supply chain and value chain management is the key to sustainable development for enterprises. This research will collect the carbon emission information from the social reports published by the enterprises in Taiwan and evaluate the activity structure of company’s value chain which meet the green definition. Then, we discuss the relationship between the carbon emission information and corporate performance and further analyze whether the correlation between carbon emission information and other variables of companies with green value chain management in Taiwan will be affected. The empirical results show that the listed company's carbon emissions information has a significant negative correlation with financial performance, market performance, and economic added value. After adding green value chain management measurement, the relationship between carbon emissions and corporate performance is affected by the overall facets of support activities, major activities, and green value chains, and the transition is positively significant.

In recent years, the environment has undergone drastic changes, and people are paying more and more attention to environmental protection. Governments in various countries have enacted legislation requiring enterprises to protect the environment and pursue sustainable development while pursuing profit. At present, preventing climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating carbon dioxide emissions, preventing sea level rise and severe climatic conditions have become important global trends at this stage. When companies implement carbon reduction activities, they will generate expenditures. Therefore, this study explores the correlation between carbon reduction performance and firm performance. The research results show that carbon reduction performance has a negative impact on firm performance, and implementing carbon reduction activities will reduce firm performance. The reason may be that the implementation of carbon reduction activities requires a lot of cost, but in the short term, there is no obvious benefit to the company. In addition, many previous studies have found that corporate governance has a significant impact on the company''s implementation of corporate social responsibility, and carbon reduction performance is one of corporate social responsibility. The decision of the board of directors affects the company''s future development. The company''s carbon reduction policy depends on the decision-making of the board of directors. The board of directors considers the company''s carbon reduction performance when planning the company''s future development. Therefore, this study explores the correlation between carbon reduction performance and corporate governance on firm performance. The results show that carbon reduction performance and board size have a positive impact on firm performance. As the board size grows, it is more effective to implement carbon reduction behavior and improve firm performance. The carbon reduction performance and the proportion of independent directors have a negative relationship with the firm performance. It may be because the independent directors supervise the company''s input costs in the carbon reduction activities, but because the carbon reduction activities require huge funds, and the carbon reduction performance cannot be obvious in the short term. The impact of the carbon reduction performance and the proportion of independent directors is negatively correlated with firm performance.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the informational role of corporate carbon performance in the stock market using a sample of publicly listed firms regulated under the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU_ETS). Based on carbon information compiled from the facility-level records within the transaction log under the operation of the EU_ETS from 2006 to 2015, this thesis calibrates the informational role of corporate carbon performance at the firm-level by exploring: (1) whether corporate carbon performance information affects firms’ information environments; and (2) whether corporate carbon performance affects firms’ cost of equity. Employing a synchronicity measure capturing the relative amount of firm specific information flows compared with market- and industry-wide information, the first empirical study in this thesis provides evidence that corporate carbon performance information plays a key informational role in the stock market by impounding more firm-specific information into share prices. In particular, this study finds that: (1) more firm-specific information relative to market- and industry-wide information is incorporated into share prices of firms with less carbon intensity; and (2) leadership in managing carbon performance relative to industry peers increases firm-specific information captured in share prices. Further, using an ex-ante implied cost of equity measure, the second empirical study in this thesis examines the impact of corporate carbon performance on investors’ perception of firm riskiness. This study provides evidence supporting the market assessment of carbon risks manifested in a higher required rate of return on equity. Specifically, this study finds that the magnitude of carbon intensity neither increases nor decreases the cost of equity financing for the full sample. However, a higher cost of equity is observed for high-emitting firms, suggesting that investors condition their assessment of carbon risks on a firm’s relative emission profile. This study also finds that firms with a higher carbon risk profile relative to industry peers have a higher cost of equity, suggesting that firms’ capacity to pass-on carbon costs affects the market pricing of carbon risks. Taken together, the empirical findings of this thesis show that corporate carbon performance serves an important information role in the stock market by producing more firm-specific information that reduces the level of information asymmetry and thereby lowers the cost of equity. This thesis therefore provides confirmatory evidence of the usefulness of carbon disclosures mandated through an enacted ETS. This thesis contributes to the literature on the market value effects of carbon information in several important ways. First, it provides robust empirical evidence that corporate carbon performance information affects the level of firm-specific information impounded in share prices. Second, this thesis provides unique insights into how corporate carbon performance enhances firm value through the cost of equity. This thesis also has several important implications for financial market regulators, policy makers, corporate executives and institutional investors. For instance, evidence that firm disclosures of carbon performance provide benefits by enabling industry benchmarking can inform the development of carbon disclosure requirements to improve the transparency of carbon disclosure and the efficiency of capital allocation. Corporate decision makers may take into account the potential benefit of a lower cost of equity in addition to accounting earnings in assessing the viability of investments in green technologies. Further, this thesis has implications for portfolio managers in constructing indices that track firms exhibiting lower carbon profile than industry peers to address the preferences of eco/green investors.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, Business School, 2017.

Enterprises not only create business performance, but also face environmental protection regulations. This study takes Taiwan's petrochemical industry as a research area to explore the performance of low-carbon emissions in the petrochemical industry under the global trend of private enterprises actively responding to carbon reduction. The study found that Taiwan's petrochemical industry actively responded to the government's reduction measures and gradually reached the "emission efficiency" of the international think tank energy-consuming industry transformation. On the other hand, since 2016, the petrochemical industry has been actively improving production equipment in the process, improving the carbon emission problem in the production process, and actively promoting the autonomous greenhouse gas reduction work, towards the “energy efficiency” and “material efficiency” of the energy-consuming industry transformation. In empirical analysis show that the increase or decrease in carbon emissions does not affect the net operating income or the net value per share. However, according to the results of correlation coefficient analysis, the trend of carbon emissions is positively correlated with business performance. Based on the research results, this paper proposes three research proposals. First, the petrochemical industry attaches importance to low carbon emission production mode to shoulder corporate social responsibility. Second, seeks good alternative energy sources and improves energy efficiency of energy-consuming industries. Third, The petrochemical industry compensates for the loss of carbon production by strengthening corporate governance to improve operational efficiency.

Increasingly complex supply chain makes supply chain strategies and suppliers become a key factor making decisions and increasing corporate value(Von Massow & Canbolat, 2014).Lean production is deemed to be a supply chain important policy of Value-Added, allowing enterprises to identify non-value added processes, reduce waste and increase corporate value. In addition, we expect the product diversification and outsourcing strategies have an impact on corporate financial performance and environmental performance because they determine the scope of supply chain and ownership, in turn, change the distribution of carbon emissions and resource in the enterprise to be used and shared. Using the manufacturing enterprises nikkei 500 stocks from 2008 to 2017 financial data and the report on CDP exposed carbon emissions data to do empirical analysis. The empirical results found that the inventory leanness has a negative influence on the enterprise''s financial performance and has positive effect on the carbon intensity. This research study has found that the enterprise through the implementation of lean production and optimal level of diversification or outsourcing can find sustainable decision. The practical implications of this study is lean production can help enterprise financial competitiveness and using resource efficiency. Maintaining on the core flow and the best product combination can help enterprises to attain lower carbon intensity and have better environmental performance.

This article aims to investigate the extent of carbon emissions disclosures in Portuguese companies operating in environmentally sensitive industries, from 2008 to 2012. Additionally, the chapter aims to explore the factors that explain the extent of such disclosures. The research sample is based upon Portuguese companies that had been continuously integrating in the PNALE I and II, over the twelve-year period. A content analysis of their annual/sustainability reports was conducted to explore the carbon emissions-related disclosures. The study also uses a disclosure index to investigate the extent of disclosure and a panel data regression model was performed to determine the factors that influence carbon emissions reporting. The results show a relatively high level of disclosure and the influence of size, activity sector, concentration of capital and economic period on the level of disclosure presented.

The debate over green ICT has been triggered by media during the climate change summit in Kyoto in 2007. This was when the industry tried to build up a clean and non-polluting image. While the Copenhagen summit on the environment failed to produce a conclusive decision, it is now clear that its carbon footprint is a remarkable factor in all business decision making. Governments around the world have set up defined programs and targets that companies have to reach. ICT is aimed at achieving reduction in the 2% of CO2 emission levels.

Full textAbstract:
The debate over green ICT has been triggered by media during the climate change summit in Kyoto in 2007. This was when the industry tried to build up a clean and non-polluting image. While the Copenhagen summit on the environment failed to produce a conclusive decision, it is now clear that its carbon footprint is a remarkable factor in all business decision making. Governments around the world have set up defined programs and targets that companies have to reach. ICT is aimed at achieving reduction in the 2% of CO2 emission levels. The advantage of the positive impact of Green ICT initiatives would be seen in the clear results in management‘s decision making. However, the adoption of green ICT programs gives the opportunity to fully rethink over current business process and develop new solutions. The benefit of environmental friendly companies can also affect the overall performance and deliver measurable results in terms of customer‘s preference, brand value, ROI, not to count the needed change of behaviour at individual and personal level (such as waste disposal).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract As the industry recovers from the recent downturn in petroleum commodity prices and the economic impacts from coronavirus (COVID-19), governing authorities in most countries are imposing methodological measures to promote the reduction of carbon footprint. This affects every industry including the petroleum sector. Therefore, most investors and stakeholders have increased their focus on Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) policies. During the well construction phase, a transition from a hydraulic to an electric tong is achieved, resulting in carbon footprint reduction. Achieving carbon neutrality or carbon emission reduction while producing hydrocarbons is one of the topmost key performance indicators (KPIs) in the industry. With the implementation of digital technologies in the tubular and casing connection make-up process, a hydraulic tong is substituted with an electric tong of an equivalent specification. The energy consumption for both systems are calculated and compared. Other important KPIs on tracking operational cost are also assessed and the results are then compared to determine the benefits of implementing the upgraded digitalized tong solution. The electric tong digitalized solution, commercially available in the petroleum industry, is a key enabler for carbon emission reduction while running tubulars in/out of the wellbore. This solution is one of the milestones that serve as foundation to advocate carbon reduction. Eventually, this will lead to establishing carbon neutrality during hydrocarbon extraction and production. The results concluded that a digitalized solution eventually reduced personnel on board working in the "red zone," which eventually leads to carbon emission reductions caused by a decrease in fuel consumption. The decrease of 43% in CO2 emission is observed while performing tubular connection process. Moreover, an overall comparison between a legacy system with the digitalized electric system displayed more than 59% reduction in CO2 during the tubular running services. In addition to carbon reduction, this electric power and control solution allows for more precise torque control, leading to enhanced system integrity and increased reliability achieved by cleaner energy. With this digital solution, not only is the safety and well-being of rig personnel enhanced to avoid any recordable incidents, the reduction of carbon emission is also achieved, aligning to the objectives of current ESG regulatory authorities. This paper will provide comprehensive details on the novelty of this technology and solution offered to the industry.

Full textAbstract:
A methodology is presented for studying the effects of automobile emission policies on the design decisions of profit-seeking automobile producers in a free-entry oligopoly market. The study does not attempt to model short-term decisions of specific producers. Instead, mathematical models of engineering performance, consumer demand, cost, and competition are integrated to predict the effects of design decisions on manufacturing cost, demand, and producer profit. Game theory is then used to predict vehicle designs that producers would have economic incentive to produce at market equilibrium under several policy scenarios. The methodology is illustrated with three policy alternatives for the small car market: corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) regulations, carbon dioxide emissions taxes, and diesel fuel vehicle quotas. Interesting results are derived, for example, it is predicted that in some cases a stiffer regulatory penalty can result in lower producer costs because of competition. This mathematical formulation establishes a link between engineering design, business, and marketing through an integrated optimization model that is used to provide insight necessary to make informed environmental policy.

The issuewill become even more critical in coming years as Generation Z enters the workforce. Analysis of Generation Z (Gen Z/Genzers) characteristics and work ethics shows they are: Entrepreneurial, that is they are less likely to stay within corporate boundaries;Multitasking, meaning not only the tasks that are assigned to them but also those that they assign to themselves, which makes it difficult to keep them within defined borders of the organizational chart rectangles with prescribed duties;Interactive – they want to share their ideas with executives over the heads of their direct supervisors –are we ready for that?Demanding constant stimulation, such as clear career tracks and non-routine challenges. To accommodate Generation Z and attract their top talent, we need to focus human resources functional concept even more on employee’s skills and potential. To close the gap in talent acquisition and nurture future industry leaders: A talent pool should be set up with a thoughtful promotion track;Award ceremonies can be used to initiate tracking of the inventor’s career in addition to celebrating an accomplishment or invention;Employee performance evaluations can be used to analyze the talent pool turnover rate. When a member of this pool is leaving the company, it should be considered an incident, which needs to be treated as such, with root cause analysis and corrective actions. This paper will describe long-term challenges facing the Oil&Gas industry regarding top Genzer talent acquisition and retention and propose solutions that may potentially address them.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The challenge of climate change and the imperative of moving to a low carbon economy has intensified and added to traditional objectives of affordable, safe, and clean energy in oil and gas production. Recycling parts from artificial lift equipment has been an industry-standard practice for decades. Equipment component reclaim has been a way to deliver high-quality, cost-effective products to our customers, especially in tough market times. It will be a critical best practice to reduce carbon emissions and enhance environmental sustainability. With customer cooperation, service companies develop procedures to re-use the most significant components of an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) system. These include the pump, cable, seal chamber section, and motor. The motor stator, bearings, and rotors are a high percentage of reclaimable parts in an ESP system. Reclaiming the induction motor (IM) rotors has been standard practice for decades. However, with the advent of permanent magnet motors (PMM) and the change in rotor construction, the current process does not apply. The driving force for PMM application is to improve energy efficiency and lower cradle to grave carbon emissions. We could not fully realize the vision of environmental sustainability and reduced carbon footprint if PMM rotors were not part of the reclaim process. Therefore, recycling the PMM rotors strengthens the justification for replacing IMs with PMMs, especially given that the value of magnetic material is highly variable and has doubled in the past year. The PMM rotors from a recovered motor may suffer from de-magnetization or be contaminated with production fluids or metal debris. Like IM rotors, the most effective method to remove contaminants from the PM rotor is to bake at high temperatures for a period. However, baking the PMM rotor magnets at elevated temperatures will be at least partially de-magnetized during the process and result in the PMM rotors no longer meeting performance specifications. This paper will present innovative technology and apparatus to re-magnetize the de-magnetized rotors for reclaiming. The research has developed a process where, without disassembling the rotor, the magnets in the rotor are re-magnetized in-situ by a specific apparatus. Testing has proven that PMMs assembled with reclaimed rotors have the same performance-rated power and torque as those built with new rotors. On the other hand, since magnets in PMMs account for more than 50% of total carbon emission of all reclaimable parts in PMMs, factoring in mining, manufacturing, logistics, and processing of magnets that generates toxic by-products to the environment, PMM rotor recycling contributes to corporate responsibility and our overall ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) rating. Furthermore, reclaiming PMM rotors can enable us to build PMM more cost-effectively, gain competitiveness in the market, and keep our PMM supply chain more stabilized.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Objectives/Scope: The Integrated Rig Management System provides the implementation of a comprehensive digital platform to manage, analyse and display drilling data coming from different sources (rig sensors, reporting, equipment description, engines data, …). This integration fulfils several objectives such as empowering analytics, automatizing reporting, supporting operations performance, and rig management. Methods, Procedures, Process: The system is made of 5 modules, of which 2 directly operated on the rig: and 2 collecting data from all rigs: A Reporting module that gathers a full set of daily reports such as DDR, HSE report and BHA assembly,… This module also provides a connection between the planned and realized activities, in order to support maintenance and logistics. A Multi-Wells/Rigs Performance module that displays benchmark analyses from all rigs, by type of operation, and equipment, giving a statistical indication on the technical limit to reduce invisible lost time or greenhouse gases emissions. A Real-Time Operations Monitoring module that supports ongoing activities with powerful analyses and insightful performance KPIs. This module also supports the Reporting through the recognition of main rig states by analysing rig sensor data. A Predictive module that uses a predictive algorithm to anticipate and avoid wellbore issues with a machine learning approach.• A Data Manager module that aggregates and processes the data coming from the drilling rigs, combining it with daily drilling reporting. Results, Observations, Conclusions: The values generated by this Integrated Rig Management System are supporting all main corporate objectives in terms of operations, logistics and carbon footprint. Regarding the operations, the system provides impartial and detailed KPIs on operation performances, in order to calculate the Invisible Lost Time to be eliminated in future operations. The system has demonstrated up to 8% time and cost reduction on entire well campaigns. For the logistics, the system crosses the near future activities with any rig resources (equipment, services, personnel, ⋯). Through specific APIs the system makes information available to third parties solutions for maintenance, logistics ad personnel management. A considerable amount of time is saved by the integration of operational and organizational systems. Finally, considering the carbon footprint, the system provides analyses on how much each operation consumes in terms of energy and makes recommendations on how many diesel engines must be kept running in each situation to minimize the related GHG emissions. Novel/Additive Information: The main innovation is the integration of different objectives into one single platform. Reporting data and rig sensor data are obviously creating a great value to operations, but less commonly they also create value for maintenance, logistics, and GHG reduction. The system is in a continuous stream of upgrades, in order to integrate gradually different rig components and generate value wherever possible in terms of cost, reliability, and environmental impact.
