- Lower production volumes impacting operating costs and GHG intensity.
- Uncertainty caused by the UK organisation review impacting employee engagement.
- Energy Profits Levy (EPL) impacting cash flow, debt availability, and share price.
- Fiscal uncertainty in the UK reinforcing the importance of international diversification.
- Supply chain disruptions due to contractors refocusing on energy transition activities or other geographies.
Harbour Energy plc
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, Harbour Energy plc disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 1.3 mtCO2e. By scope: Scope 1: 1.3K k tonnes CO2e; Scope 2: 3.4 k tonnes CO2e; Scope 3: 12.8K k tonnes CO2e. Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.

✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Reduced flaring by 7% to 47k tonnes compared to 51k tonnes in 2022.
- Reduced operational emissions by 54 ktCO2e through emissions reduction projects.
🎯 Climate & Sustainability Targets
🔜 Short-term
- Reduce water consumption by 10% by 2025 (not explicitly stated, but implied through ongoing efforts)
- Ensure methane intensity is less than 0.2 per cent across our operated sites by reducing flaring and venting activities.
📅 Medium-term
- Achieve 50% reduction in gross operated emissions vs 2018 baseline by 2030.
- Viking CCS project to store 10 mtpa of CO2 by 2030.
🔭 Long-term
- Achieve net zero across Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) gross operated emissions by 2035.
