ESG and compliance
Report once, to a known format.
Operators already produce these figures. The cost is in producing them four different ways for four different requests, and in a regulator receiving them in four different shapes.
Reported quarterly
Methane emissions
Source-level figures with the method behind them, so a total can be traced back to how it was measured rather than asserted.
Reported monthly
Production levels
Volumes by field and by stream, on the same basis each period, so a series can be compared with the one before it.
Reported annually
Local content
Spend, supplier and employment figures against the commitments made in the licence, with the evidence attached.
Reported on event
Health and safety
Incidents, inspections and outstanding actions, filed when they happen rather than gathered at year end.
What happens to a submission
An operator files against the agreed format. The submission is checked against that format before it is accepted, so a missing field is caught at the point of filing rather than a quarter later. The regulator sees it alongside every other operator’s, on the same basis and for the same period. Both sides keep a copy, and the record carries who filed it and when.
Nothing is re-keyed, and nothing is interpreted on the way through. A figure that arrives wrong stays wrong and is visibly the operator’s figure — which is the only arrangement a regulator can act on and an operator can accept.
What a template fixes
A format agreed once is a format that can be checked automatically, compared across operators, and carried forward from one year to the next. The work is in agreeing it — which is a conversation with a regulator, not a feature.
