Webinar: Energy efficiency case studies from upstream operations

On Tuesday, 21 April, 2026, the IOGP Low Carbon Operational Efficiency Committee, in partnership with OGDC Secretariat, held its “Energy efficiency case studies from upstream operations” webinar.

Improving energy efficiency is one of the most immediate and practical ways to reduce emissions, and improve operational performance.

This webinar presented real-world case studies from industry operations, showing how companies are applying proven technologies and practical measures to deliver measurable results in both brownfield and greenfield environments.

Webinar presentations

Drilling and completions fuel-switching programme
Speaker: Gabe Ojo, Chevron

Shale and tight operations in the US Permian Basin have progressively moved from diesel-powered drilling and fracturing to natural gas, grid power, and energy storage solutions.

This presentation reviewed the transition, the technologies used, and key lessons learned.

Energy efficiency — easy-win opportunities
Speakers: Giancarlo Garnero and Luigi Ciotta, Eni

This session focused on practical, high-impact efficiency measures that require little or no capital investment.
Real case studies demonstrated how simple optimisation actions can reduce energy use, improve performance, and deliver immediate value.

This webinar was organised by the IOGP Low Carbon Operational Efficiency Committee, which promotes the use of energy-efficiency and optimisation practices across upstream facilities and operations.
