ESG & Emissions Dashboard
Environmental credentials — polymer EOR and gas-to-wire with CCS
96%
Lower emissions with polymer vs steam concept

Steam requires continuous heating of heavy oil reservoir — massive energy consumption. Polymer works at ambient temperature — only diesel generators for platform power.
Carbon Intensity Benchmark (kg CO₂/boe)
Pilot polymer: lowest carbon intensity of any UK heavy oil development
CO₂ Intensity — Industry Benchmark
kg CO₂ per barrel of oil equivalent — Pilot polymer vs global comparables
96% reduction vs steam alternative. Polymer flood operates at ambient reservoir temperature (~31°C / 88°F), eliminating the massive energy cost of heating 254 MMbbl of heavy oil. At 12 kg CO₂/boe, Pilot would be among the lowest-intensity heavy oil developments globally.

ESG Investment Thesis
Pilot (R3)
Polymer EOR eliminates need for steam generation. 96% lower emissions. Lowest carbon intensity of any UK heavy oil project. Aligns with NSTA MER UK mandate — maximises recovery without maximising emissions.
Earlham (R4)
Gas-to-wire with CCS is a net-negative emissions concept. 500kt/yr CO₂ stored. No methane transport. Contributes directly to UK net zero pathway. Could qualify for CCS subsidies.
Portfolio
Combined portfolio offers hydrocarbon production with genuinely differentiated environmental credentials. Potential ESG premium vs conventional North Sea operators.
