How to read this definition
Inclusion criteria describe evidence that can establish this activity. Exclusion criteria identify circumstances that do not establish it on that basis alone. The evaluation remains connected to its taxonomy version and supporting evidence.
Can establish this activity
Included when supported
Evidence may support involvement when it matches one or more of these inclusion criteria.
7 criteria
- 01Criterion
Include providers of drilling rigs, drillships, platforms, or drilling systems materially adapted and contractually dedicated for Arctic oil or gas operations.
- 02Criterion
Include seismic or subsurface-survey providers only for documented Arctic hydrocarbon exploration campaigns.
- 03Criterion
Include engineering, well, ice-management, geotechnical, or technical-service firms under a documented contract directly supporting Arctic upstream operations.
- 04Criterion
Include field logistics, aviation, marine support, winter-road, camp, and supply services only where materially specialized and contractually dedicated to an Arctic upstream project.
- 05Criterion
Include manufacturers of equipment materially designed or modified for Arctic hydrocarbon drilling or production and supplied for a documented qualifying project.
- 06Criterion
Include construction and infrastructure providers responsible for project-specific Arctic upstream drilling or production infrastructure, excluding general regional infrastructure.
- 07Criterion
Include contractors with a directly evidenced current role in an Arctic exploration, drilling, appraisal, development, or production campaign.
Does not establish this activity on its own
Excluded on this basis alone
These circumstances do not establish this activity unless separate evidence also meets an inclusion criterion.
6 criteria
- 01Criterion
Exclude entities directly responsible for resource exploration or extraction from this support-services screen; classify that role under Arctic Oil and Gas Exploration and Extraction.
- 02Criterion
Exclude general industrial, engineering, equipment, chemical, technology, and construction suppliers without Arctic upstream specialization or a documented qualifying contract.
- 03Criterion
Exclude ordinary shipping, freight, aviation, ports, and transportation without a materially specialized Arctic oilfield-service role.
- 04Criterion
Exclude renewable-energy, general mining, telecommunications, community, and public infrastructure unrelated to Arctic hydrocarbon activity.
- 05Criterion
Exclude academic, scientific, environmental, and public-sector survey organizations without a commercial Arctic upstream service contract.
- 06Criterion
Exclude financing, insurance, investment, and advisory services without direct provision of qualifying Arctic drilling infrastructure or field services.
