Reducing greenhouse gas emissions represents a major ambition
of all energy operators. Bureau Veritas supports clients to meet
society’s energy needs while building a more sustainable low carbon
future.
Methane emissions are a major component of indirect greenhouse
gas emissions generated along the oil and gas value chain1. Shell,
a leading global energy and petrochemicals group, has set a target
to maintain methane emissions intensity below 0.2% by 20252. Bureau
Veritas has been awarded a framework agreement to provide support
and help enable the company to move towards achieving that
target.
With worldwide reach, the new enterprise framework agreement
with Bureau Veritas allows Shell to benefit from expert solutions
in detection of leaks across all assets. Bureau Veritas’ Leak
Detection and Repair solutions (LDAR) enable Shell to monitor,
quantify and control emissions in order to minimize its carbon
footprint. These solutions integrate advanced technologies such as
Optical Gas Imaging (OGI), laser and ultrasonic technologies as
well as the use of drones to optimize inspections.
“At Bureau Veritas, we support a climate change
mitigation-oriented strategy while supporting the development of
activities in the Energy sector. Leak detection management is a
crucial operation to help reconcile these challenges by improving
the health and safety of employees, minimizing environmental impact
and improving energy efficiency” stated Bruno FERREYRA,
Executive Vice President Oil & Gas Service Line for Bureau
Veritas.
Bureau Veritas provides a full range of services that contribute
to securing energy supply by reducing risk, improving reliability,
and optimizing the efficiency of industrial assets in complex
environments.
In order to limit global warming which impacts our society,
Bureau Veritas is supporting the world’s energy transition. It
enables customers to produce efficiently to meet today’s and future
energy needs while developing new low-carbon solutions.
