2024 Annual Public Environmental Statement
We are proud to release our 2024 Annual Public Environmental Statement, which has been submitted to the Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning.
OUR EMMISSIONS STRATEGY
As we transition towards a sustainable future, contributing to Net Zero emissions is a critical goal that requires strong leadership, a clear strategy, a supportive culture and effective planning.
AOC is committed to the North Sea Transition Deal (NSTD) which targets a basin-wide 50% reduction in emissions by 2030 versus a baseline of 2018. In addition, all non-CO2 emissions were within permitted limits for 2024.
AOC continues to drive improvements in our emissions performance through the implementation of our Emissions Strategy and the development of the Anasuria Emissions Reduction Action Plan (ERAP). The ERAP was submitted to the Regulator in 2024. In June 2024, we hosted our first ERAP Partner Workshop with the Regulator to review the latest emission reduction opportunities, including a range of potential abatement scenarios. During the workshop, we also shared progress on the ERAP and demonstrated AOC’s continued commitment to developing the plan in alignment with the North Sea Transition Deal (NSTD) net zero targets.
At AOC we also want to create an environment where employees at all levels are engaged and motivated to contribute to the Company’s sustainability goals. This will be achieved through education and training, open communication, and recognition of employees who make a positive impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Anasuria Operating Company (AOC) aims to be a safe and environmentally responsible operator, and to adopt a focused approach on promoting a strong culture and robust risk management. We are committed to achieving excellence in environmental performance across all of our operations.
AOC’s Environmental Management System (EMS) ensures our activities are conducted in such a way as to manage and mitigate our impact on the environment. The EMS has been designed to comply with the requirements of the International Organisation for Standardisation’s Environmental Management System standard, ISO14001: 2015, and indeed was certified to this standard in 2023. External surveillance audits continue on an annual basis.
As Installation Operator of the Anasuria FPSO vessel, we are continuously striving to reduce the environmental impacts of our operations, including reducing our emissions. Through our Emissions Strategy, AOC strives to achieve the intentions set out by our Net Zero Policy, and deliver a net contribution towards UK and international carbon emissions reduction targets. AOC complies with regulations to meet the challenge of mitigating emissions, whilst maintaining stable energy supplies.
AOC’s Annual Environmental Statement is a true representation of our environmental performance across our operations.
