Abstract

A method includes receiving an updated sustainability report associated with enterprise operations of an enterprise, such that the enterprise operations correspond to production data corresponding to operational tasks performed in a hydrocarbon production system, facility data corresponding to utility operations within buildings associated with the enterprise, or both. A computing system performing the method previously received a sustainability report associated with the enterprise operations. The method involves identifying at least one sustainability parameter change between the sustainability report and the updated sustainability report that is greater than at least one threshold, identifying engineering workflow systems to determine action plans associated with improving the at least one sustainability parameter, and sending the updated sustainability report to the one or more engineering workflow systems. The method may include sending commands to one or more devices associated with the one or more enterprise operations based on the action plans.

Claims (32)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, via a computing system, an updated sustainability report associated with one or more enterprise operations of an enterprise, wherein the enterprise operations correspond to production data comprising information related to one or more sustainability parameters corresponding to one or more operational tasks performed in a hydrocarbon production system, facility data comprising additional information related to one or more additional sustainability parameters corresponding to one or more utility operations within one or more buildings associated with the enterprise, or both, wherein the updated sustainability report is generated periodically based on an annual budgetary cycle of the enterprise acquired by scraping electronic data sources, and wherein the computing system previously received a sustainability report associated with the one or more enterprise operations;

identifying, via the computing system, at least one sustainability parameter change between the sustainability report and the updated sustainability report that is greater than at least one threshold;

identifying, via the computing system, one or more engineering workflow systems configured to determine one or more action plans associated with improving the at least one sustainability parameter;

sending, via the computing system, the updated sustainability report to the one or more engineering workflow systems;

receiving, via the computing system, the one or more action plans from the one or more engineering workflow systems, wherein the one or more engineering workflow systems determine the one or more action plans based on one or more abatement technologies associated with the one or more engineering workflow systems and the updated sustainability report, and wherein each of the one or more abatement technologies is configured to improve the at least one sustainability parameter; and

sending, via the computing system, one or more commands to one or more devices associated with the one or more enterprise operations based on the one or more action plans.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sustainability parameter change between the sustainability report and the updated sustainability report corresponds to a change in amount of emission reduction, a scale of deviation of applied tax, an amount of overall emission reduction, or any combination thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more engineering workflow systems are identified based on querying a database comprising one or more descriptions of services provided by the one or more engineering workflow systems.
