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