Highlights

13.4% Improved Emissions Intensity

NOV’s emissions intensity (MT CO2e per million dollars of revenue) improved by 13.4% compared to 2022, reflecting increased revenue relative to facility utilization.

$386mm Renewable-Related Revenue

NOV’s renewable energy-related revenue amounted to $386 million in 2023, a 16% increase from 2022. This continues to be driven by our proprietary vessel designs, cranes, and jacking systems, which have been used to install most of the world’s offshore wind farms.

Emissions Production

NOV produced 378,751 metric tons of CO2 equivalent (MT CO2e) Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2023. Our emissions consisted of 135,671 MT CO2e from stationary combustion and 243,080 MT CO2e from purchased electricity.

Developing Technologies

NOV has developed and introduced technologies to conventional oil and gas operations, which, with widespread adoption, would reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions more than 20 times our own Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
