Why ESG Topics Are Trending in Oil & Gas
Stricter regulations, investor pressure, and community expectations are pushing ESG to the top of the agenda for many oil and gas companies. Flaring limits, methane reporting rules, and TSA security directives are no longer optional, they’re required. At the same time, investors are weighing sustainability metrics when making capital decisions. For operators, achieving ESG alignment means proving that daily operations can meet these demands without sacrificing performance.
That’s where zdSCADA makes a difference. Delivering real-time monitoring, automation, and seamless integrations with systems like FLOWCAL and On Demand Production Operations, zdSCADA turns ESG expectations into operational advantages. They are helping operators stay compliant, protect their teams, and optimize production.
What ESG Really Means in Oil & Gas
- Environmental: Operators face pressure to minimize flaring, cut emissions, and prevent spills.
- Social: Worker: safety, human rights, and strong community relationships are under the microscope.
- Governance: Leadership must ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance across complex operations.
These aren’t abstract issues. They’re tied directly to how wells, compressors, pipelines, and facilities are run. That’s where zdSCADA plays a central role.
