Decarbonization Strategy in Turkmenistan

Context

XP delivered a comprehensive Decarbonization Strategy for a major oil & gas operator in Turkmenistan, supporting its ambition to become a net-zero GHG company by 2035.

The engagement covered both:

  • Offshore oil & gas operations
  • Onshore oil & gas operations

The objective was to build a transparent, data-driven emissions baseline and define a realistic, executable roadmap toward net-zero.

Challenges

The customer had a strong strategic ambition:

Achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035.

However, the organization required:

  • A complete and accurate GHG emissions baseline
  • Level 3 / Level 4 compliant emissions data (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O)
  • Benchmarking against regional Caspian operators
  • A structured and financially viable decarbonization roadmap
  • Alignment between operational performance and climate objectives

XP’s approach

XP implemented a structured decarbonization framework covering baseline creation, benchmarking and roadmap development.

Establishing the GHG Baseline

  • Built a comprehensive emissions baseline using Level 3 and Level 4 methodologies aligned with the GHG Protocol
  • Covered the complete oil & gas asset base (offshore and onshore)
  • Quantified CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O emissions

Regional Benchmarking

  • Executed benchmarking of key emissions and energy performance indicators
  • Compared performance against other Caspian operators
  • Identified performance gaps and decarbonization potential

Net-Zero Roadmap Development

XP developed a detailed roadmap designed to achieve net-zero by 2035 based on technical feasibility and financial return:

  • Ending routine flaring
  • Electrification programs to eliminate high-emission diesel heaters
  • Reduction of venting
  • Implementation of LDAR routines
  • Energy efficiency optimization
