Note regarding the amount of waste generated and the amount of waste handled: There is not necessarily a correlation between the quantity of drilling waste in chapters 2 and 9, although the waste originates from identical drilling operations. There are three reasons for this:

Lags in recording and reporting. Waste generated in one year could eventually be treated in a waste treatment plant the following year.

The data in chapter 2 are estimated values from offshore drilling operations while in chapter 9 the values are based on actual weight

o In table 2.2 and 2.4 in the annual report total amount of cuttings is calculated from theoretical hole volume and hole factor. Drilling fluid is not included here.

o Imported and exported cuttings in chapter 2 contains cuttings with appendages of drilling fluid o Drilling waste given in chapter 9 is weighted amount of cuttings with appendages of drilling fluid

The waste is transported to shore. There may be minor adjustments to the amount of waste due to changes in the moisture content of the waste.

The Operator should have procedures to ensure that reporting of waste is consistent and complete, and that there is no double reporting.

Column Normal Value / Content Used (tonnes) Substance consumption in the reporting year multiplied by the substance

normalized average concentration. Normalized average concentration can be found in NEMS Chemicals, or may be calculated from HOCNF data sheet

Discharge (tonnes) Substance discharge in the reporting year multiplied by the substance normalized average concentration. Normalized average concentration can be found in NEMS Chemicals, or may be calculated from HOCNF data sheet

Component Substance name. Can be found in HOCNF data sheet and in NEMS Chemicals Toxicity The substance’s toxicity. Can be found in HOCNF data sheet and in NEMS

Chemicals. Used to decide Norwegian Environment Agency category. LogPow The substance’s bioaccumulation potential. Can be found in HOCNF data sheet

BOD The substance’s biodegradation potential. Can be found in HOCNF data sheet and in NEMS Chemicals. Used to decide Norwegian Environment Agency category.

EnvironmentalCategory All substance shall be allocated to a Norwegian Environment Agency class. Ref. Table 16. They shall be allocated based on the substance’s environmental toxicity. Each substance’s toxicity, bioaccumulation and biodegradation potential shall be evaluated. The substance shall be allocated to the strictest applicable category in Table 16. No substance shall be double reported. In class 201 – PLONOR, only data that is on OSPARS PLONOR list should be reported.

Note regarding the amount of waste generated and the amount of waste end treated: It is not necessarily correlation between the quantity of drilling waste in Chapters 2 and 9, although the waste originating from identical drilling operations. There are three reasons for this:

• Lags in recording and reporting. Generated waste one year could eventually be treated in waste treatment plant the following year. • The data in Chapter 2 is estimated values of offshore drilling operations, while in Chapter 9 the values are based on actual weight.

o In table 2.2 and 2.4 in the annual report total amount of cuttings is calculated from theoretical hole volume and hole factor. Drilling fluid is not included here.

o Imported and exported cuttings in chapter 2 contains cuttings with appendages of drilling fluid o Drilling waste given in chapter 9 is weighted amount of cuttings with appendages of drilling fluid

• The waste is transported to shore. It may be minor adjustments to the amount of waste due to changes in the moisture content of the waste.

The Operator should have procedures to ensure that reporting of waste is consistent and complete, and that there is no double reported.

16. LED lights

17. Diesel for electrical operation

18. MEG/TEG optimization

19. Friction inhibitors

97. Structural changes

98. Liquidation

99. Other  This list comes from previous reporting of measures to Norwegian Oil and Gas Association, as well as categories in NORSOK S‐003 “Environmental Care”, but the list is not complete. If the measure does not fit any of these categories, the measure can be reported under ‘other’. It is also possible to contact AddEnergy if there is a need to add new types of measures to this list. This can also be done by using the ‘Get Help’ button in EEH and entering the new type of measure that you want. It usually takes a few hours to update the production system. Norwegian oil and gas association can also be contacted if you have any comments or questions.  It should also be reported if the measure is a permanent measure, i.e. the measure applies to the entire lifetime, or whether it is a temporary measure that only applies for a limited period.  In addition, a reference to Road Map for the Norwegian Continental Shelf shall be chosen, there are two options:  

Maritime activities: These are measures that are not covered by the petroleum legislation, but are still included in this reporting because the measures contribute to reduced CO2 emissions from the industry.   

Overall quantitative ambition within the 2030 target of 2.5 million tons: The ambition of reducing greenhouse gas emissions includes lower emissions related to power and heat supply to the oil installations, reduced emissions of short‐lived climate drivers such as methane, more efficient use of energy at field‐ and area level, and reduction in emissions associated with drilling operations from mobile rigging. For a more detailed breakdown of types of measures, refer to Table 56.

Analytics 

When looking at reported figures in analytics, ‘emission year’ must be chosen to allow for emissions to be distributed 

over the years up to, and including, 2030. The sum of emissions over the lifetime is shown at the reporting year: 

 

There are two variables in EEH for emission reduction measures: 

‘Estimated reduction in emission’ 

o When selected together with the emission year, you will see the total annual reduction in 

emissions per year summed up for all the measures reported:

o If ‘Type of Measure’ is also chosen, annual emissions per year will be shown for the lifetime of 

the measure: 

  

‘Reduction vision 2030’ 

o When this is selected, together with the emission year, the total annual reduction in emissions 

per year will be summarized as total for all measures distributed throughout the years up to and 

including 2030. All measures will be distributed to 2030.  

o This variable is set up like this because Vision 2030 aims to implement measures that, together, give an annual reduction of 2.5 million tonnes CO2 by 2030.
