The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has renewed its partnership with TotalEnergies for another 24 months to continue deploying advanced methane detection technology across its upstream operations, in a bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support its decarbonisation targets.
The agreement extends the use of the Airborne Ultralight Spectrometer for Environmental Applications (AUSEA), a drone-based system designed to detect, measure and help reduce methane and carbon emissions from oil and gas facilities.
In a statement, NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Andy Odeh, said the renewal agreement was signed on Wednesday by the company’s Executive Vice President, Upstream, Mr. Udy Ntia, and TotalEnergies Country Chair and Managing Director, Mr. Matthieu Bouyer.
