Transcript of Waste as a Useful Circular Economy Indicator
Session #8: Environment / Waste
Waste as a Useful Circular Economy Indicator
Sophie Theys, Bureau Veritas Flora Moon, Expressworks
Session #8
Oil and Gas Perspective – Waste
Slide 3
• Fragmented: defined as an inherent material resulting from operations to be eliminated, reused, recycled or recovered including office and commercial activity
• Regulated: hazardous waste components • Selective: narrow in scope • Historically waste is not a design consideration and
does not indicate good or efficient design
Session #8
Oil and Gas Perspective – Perceptions & Barriers for Adopting Circular Practices
Slide 5
• Preference for buying new • Non standard build of assets - custom equipment • Risk of reusing material on oil and gas assets
– Health and safety – Condition of equipment and products – Insurance concerns
• Few industry precedents • Environmental remediation and disposal costs can exceed
construction cost
Session #8
Actual Barriers to Circular Economy
Slide 6
• Suitability of materials for reuse • Marketplaces to facilitate reuse and recycling • Information barriers
– Sectors work in silos • Organizational/cultural obstacles • Institutional barriers
– Fiscal and regulatory
Session #8
Closing the Loop: Redesign for Reuse, Remanufacturing and Recycling
Slide 7
• Engage value chain stakeholders • Substitute materials
– eg. in hydraulic fracking, liquified CO2 for water • Use standard parts • Apply technologies like “digital twinning” • Design facilities and equipment for ease of
maintenance, upgrade and reuse at FEED - Front End Engineering Design
Session #8
Closing the Loop: Redesign for Reuse, Remanufacturing and Recycling
Slide 8
• Assets are industrial nutrients • Design for entire value chain synergies, especially
handoffs between segments • Leverage synergies and integrate with other industries
that place a value on oil and gas industry outputs • Steward all resources including human factors,
community and the environment

Closing the Loop: Create Road Map
Slide 10
• Identify “low hanging fruit” • Map where you are in the maturity progression • Understand capabilities needed to achieve goals • Begin engaging with / creating “enhanced” value chain • Create realistic timelines
