Marathon assets, such as those in the Bakken and Eagle Ford plays, are indicative of our steady growth and the exciting opportunities that are yet to come.
At Marathon, we realize the importance of being transparent and regularly sharing company and industry information with our customers, employees and stakeholders.
Pablo Ondo Zetmayer, a gas plant operator in Equatorial Guinea, is a prime example of Marathon’s globally diverse workforce, which enjoys worldwide experiences and world-class opportunities.
With a focus on safety, innovation and environmental stewardship, Marathon is among the world’s leading independent exploration and production companies.
Environmental Stewardship
Marathon strives to reduce our environmental impacts, and address concerns about climate change and its potential effects, while expanding our operations to meet growing global demand for energy. Our efforts include programs for using natural resources efficiently, reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
As Marathon expands operations to meet the increasing demand for energy, our emissions will increase. Our goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity (emissions per unit of throughput or production) even as our business grows.
Climate Change
Marathon believes that addressing concerns about climate change and GHG emissions reductions will require global solutions. These include transparent and equitable government policies, innovative and cost-effective technologies, and energy efficiency.
Spills and Discharges
Marathon uses environmental metrics to measure performance and identify opportunities for improvement. Spills are a principal environmental performance indicator due to their potential impacts on the environment.
To prevent spills and discharges, we provide employee training, procedures, preventive maintenance, equipment inspections and mechanical safeguards. We investigate spills and discharges to identify their cause and take incident-specific and, if necessary, broad corrective actions.
Water
Marathon recognizes the importance of water stewardship and that fresh water is a valuable natural resource. We are assessing our water footprint and stewardship issues. Business units assess water use with a Company-wide inventory process. During project planning, business units incorporate water usage into risk assessments to enhance consideration of water aspects in our business decision-making and planning processes.
