Natural Gas

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate upstream activities to discover, develop, or produce natural gas, including conventional gas, shale gas, tight gas, coalbed methane, and associated gas from onshore or offshore fields. Processing, liquefaction, transport, distribution, power generation, and oilfield services without an upstream ownership or operator role are excluded. Hydraulic fracturing, deepwater, Arctic, and other high-impact characteristics are separately recorded where evidenced.

8 included · 6 excluded

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate facilities that separate, treat, compress, process, or liquefy raw natural gas into pipeline-quality gas, natural-gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or other commercial gas products. This includes gas-processing plants, LNG liquefaction facilities, and floating LNG. Upstream production without processing, transport and distribution, LNG shipping alone, power generation, end use, and engineering or maintenance services are excluded.

8 included · 6 excluded

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate dedicated infrastructure or commercial businesses for transmitting, transporting, storing, shipping, trading, or distributing natural gas or liquefied natural gas. Qualifying activities include transmission pipelines, distribution networks, LNG carriers and terminals where the role is transport or regasification, storage facilities, and principal gas trading. Upstream production, liquefaction, power generation, generic freight, equipment supply, and end-use consumption are excluded.

8 included · 6 excluded

Identifies companies and other entities that own or control economically recognized reserves or resources of natural gas through direct ownership or extractive rights. Reserve class, development status, conventional or unconventional type, associated-gas status, geography, and ownership basis must be recorded. LNG inventories are not reserves. Transport, processing, power generation, service provision, passive financial exposure, mere exploration without an established economic resource, and fully divested assets are excluded.

9 included · 7 excluded

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate electricity-generating assets that use natural gas or liquefied natural gas as a material fuel, including combined-cycle, open-cycle, reciprocating-engine, peaking, and captive industrial generation. Portfolio thresholds, capacity measures, phase-out or expansion tests, and de minimis backup use are client-policy overlays. Upstream, processing, transport, equipment supply, limited emergency generation, and fully retired assets are excluded.
