Our Progress to Date
Since the company’s inception Tier 1 has been looking for ways to improve the environmental performance of our services by investment in the development of environmental technologies such as:
Smooth Wireline Cable. Developed by Tier 1 in partnership with a key industry supplier to optimize and popularize greaseless pressure control technology.
E-SkidTM Electrical Wireline Skid Units. North American Land’s first electrically powered wireline skid specifically designed for pump-down applications. This technology is progressing rapidly towards displacing diesel power wireline on well pads.
E-SetTM Setting Tool. A new reusable technology that uses household batteries as the primary power source instead of explosives. E-SetTM fully eliminates the use of hydrocarbon based fluids and the need to dispose of those fluids after use.
The Path to Net Zero
Building on our successful environmental initiatives to date, Tier 1 believes that a path to Net Zero is achievable as current technology is more broadly adapted and other technologies become available. We believe that by focusing on the most carbon intensive aspects of our operations we can achieve our net GHG reduction objectives as early as 2035. These steps would include:
Heavy vehicle fleet transition to low carbon, no carbon alternatives.
Light vehicle fleet transition to battery electric vehicles.
VOC emission reduction through broader adaption and utilization of “tireless” technology such as E-SkidTM.
Emissions reduction and elimination due to venting of NO2 and SrO gases during field operations.
