Arctic Drilling

A criteria-free aggregate derived from Arctic Oil and Gas Exploration and Extraction and Arctic Drilling Infrastructure and Services.

Hydraulic Fracturing

Identifies companies and other entities that operate oil or gas wells using high-pressure hydraulic fracturing or provide specialized fracturing services that directly perform the fracturing operation. Qualifying service roles include pressure pumping and field execution of fracturing treatments. Generic oilfield services, ordinary equipment and chemical supply, water treatment without a direct fracturing contract, and upstream production without verified hydraulic-fracturing use are excluded. Shale or tight-resource geology is recorded separately as an attribute.

Deepwater Oil and Gas Exploration and Drilling

Identifies companies and other entities that operate or directly conduct offshore oil or gas exploration, drilling, or production in deepwater or ultra-deepwater environments, including field operators and specialized drilling contractors responsible for deepwater wells or rigs. Water depth, basin, regulatory definition, and project status are evidence attributes rather than a single universal threshold. Shallow-water and onshore operations, generic marine services, transport, renewable offshore energy, and ceased projects are excluded.

Oil Sands and Tar Sands

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate upstream extraction or dedicated upgrading of bitumen from oil-sands or tar-sands deposits, including surface mining and in-situ recovery. Pipelines, transporters, refiners, and traders are included only where they separately own or operate qualifying extraction or upgrading activity; handling oil-sands-derived feedstock alone is recorded under the applicable core oil screen with a feedstock attribute. Generic services and ceased or divested activities are excluded.
