Building an advantaged portfolio—Ranking international basins based on profit and emissions
By Bob Fryklund
As the energy industry moves toward a low-carbon future, performance metrics must go beyond dollars and barrels and begin to include emissions.
More and more energy companies are beginning to show interest in incorporating emissions and emissions reduction into their overall strategy.
The basin of the future excels at the intersection of scale, profit, and emissions. It is critical that the products from these basins are near premium long-term markets. This study evaluates 25 global basins and examines which basins have a combination of low emissions intensity and high after-tax cash flow for every barrel of oil equivalent (boe) produced. These results demonstrate which basins are currently strong performers, and which basins might benefit from investment.
