Performance Metrics

We collect data and information related to species occurrence and sensitive habitats located within or adjacent to our operated assets. We focus on species characterized as at-risk, endangered, rare, significant, threatened or of cultural value, and habitats characterized as sensitive by local regulators or conservation organizations as well as International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) I-VI protected areas. Data and information are used to develop metrics related to protected areas, restored or protected habitats and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Protected Areas

We complete an annual enterprise-wide assessment of protected areas located within or adjacent to operated assets. The assessment includes areas designated at the national and regional level (national parks or wildlife sanctuaries) as well as at the international level (World Heritage or Ramsar sites). Our infrastructure within or adjacent to protected areas includes pipelines, well pads, compressor stations, one LNG facility and one terminal.

  • Operated asset lease areas overlapping with IUCN I-VI protected areas1 : 0.03%
  • Number of IUCN I-VI protected areas within 3 miles (5 km) of operated assets2: Eight

Habitats Protected or Restored

We consider habitat to be protected where the environment remains in its original state with a healthy and functioning ecosystem, and habitat to be restored where actions have either restored the environment to its original state or enhanced it to a state where it has a healthy and functioning ecosystem.

IUCN Red List Species

For our operated assets, we identify species of interest at the local level including at-risk, endangered, rare, significant, threatened or of cultural value. Some of the local species of interest may also have been identified as near-threatened, vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The majority of our assets actively mitigate risks related to at least one species of local importance that is also an IUCN Red List species. The majority of our assets actively mitigate risks related to at least one species of local importance that is also an IUCN Red List species. We have 12 assets in four countries with one or more IUCN Red List species observed or known to occur.

1 Assets: Anadarko, APLNG, Bakken, Indonesia (in the first quarter of 2022,the company completed the sale of the Indonesia assets), Uinta Basin.
2 Estimated as the percentage of lease areas overlapping with designated protected areas such as national parks or wildlife sanctuaries, World Heritage or Ramsar sites.
