Assessing Global Oil and Gas Emissions

The OCI⁺ quantifies and compares greenhouse gas emissions intensities from global oil and gas assets. Use this web tool’s interactive features to see where GHGs are emitted and investigate ways to reduce life-cycle emissions intensity from production, refining and petrochemical processing, and gathering, storage, and transport, and end uses.

There is No Standard Oil or Gas

Oil and gas are large and diverse sources of fossil fuel energy. They are found in a wide range of regions and have varied chemical makeups. An array of technologies is used to extract, process, and ship oils and gases that are then consumed globally. Assess and track emissions to see how different oils and gases impact climate change.
