ENVIRONMENTAL BENCHMARK TOOL (EBT)
The Environmental Benchmark Tool (EBT) is a Microsoft Access database containing emissions and discharge data as well as oil and gas production data from the UK offshore oil and gas producing installations. The EBT provided straightforward access to historic data, allows the visualisation of trends and context, is designed to update with verified data and follows the transfers of installations to other operators.
Scope
The EBT benchmarks the activities of most of the oil and gas exploration and production companies that operate facilities on the UK Continental Shelf.
- 25 operating companies can be compared.
- The EBT contains data about 333 oil and gas fields. Facilities include: fixed production platforms, floating production installations and subsea tie backs. No downstream activities are included.
- For benchmark purposes, these fields are grouped into 98 different groups.
- The EBT contains data from the period 1997 up to and including 2005 (9 years of data).
Functionality
The EBT can manipulate the data in several ways.
- By displaying the raw data in its original format.
- By displaying the processed data in graph or table format.
- By exporting the raw or processed data into an Excel spreadsheet for further processing.
The EBT can:
- Compare the environmental performance of operators and of groups of installations.
- Filter the information by type of installation (oil, gas, or both) or by installation age.
- Present between 1 and 9 years of data at the same time.
- Rank the results in order of environmental performance.
- Allocate an installation to a different operator.
- Add a planned installation to the database so that its expected performance can be compared with existing installations.
The EBT:
- Offers 18 different environmental performance indicators.
- Allocates the various data to specific groups of installations to enable like with like comparisons of environmental performance.
