Based on the real-time data from 65 installed flare.IQ units across seven regions, bp is
ready to conduct early interventions and reduce methane-slip emissions from flaring.

In collaboration with Baker Hughes, bp was able to collect methane emissions data
from its flaring operations by using Baker Hughes’ flare.IQ abatement units at 65 flares.

bp intends to use this data to conduct early interventions and reduce emissions from

methane flaring.

“bp’s transformation is underway, turning strategy into action through delivery of our
targets and aims. We don’t have all the answers, and we certainly can’t do this on our

own,” said Fawaz Bitar, bp senior vice president of Health Safety Environment &

Carbon. “Through our long-standing partnership with Baker Hughes, we have

progressed technology and implemented methane quantification for oil and gas flares,

helping us to achieve the first milestone of our Aim 4. We continue to look at
opportunities like this, where we can collaborate across the industry to find solutions to

our biggest challenges.”

The flare.IQ unit advances ultrasonic flare metering technology and is part of Baker
Hughes’ Panametrics product portfolio. The analytics platform allows operators to

gather data from flare systems, such as temperature, pressure, vent gas velocities, and

gas composition. A complete view of these metrics assists operators in maximizing

combustion efficiency and reducing methane emissions. Emissions reporting is

enhanced by flare.IQ’s presentation of real-time measurement, and it is also OGMP 2.0
level 4 compliant.
