Occidental
Like other participating companies, Occidental uses multiple strategies to eliminate and reduce emissions from its operations. One example is Oxy’s innovative tankless facility design, which minimizes oil storage and processing at well sites by using pipelines instead of trucks to transport oil to central processing facilities. Now being implemented across Oxy’s U.S. onshore domestic operations, the tankless design decreases the company’s facility footprint and significantly reduces emissions, dust, noise and truck traffic.
Additionally, Oxy deploys technologies promoted by and through The Environmental Partnership to validate operating conditions and identify and repair leaks expeditiously. Combining aerial flyover technology, satellites, continuous and near-continuous fixed sensors, optical gas imaging (OGI) and drone-mounted OGI cameras, this comprehensive data collection helps to identify opportunities to limit emissions and sustain environmental performance and maximize the natural gas available to our customers.
