Value structure

Dimensions and units

Unit
number of projects or initiatives — source-defined reporting unit
Reporting basis
Not specified in extracted source

Unit meaning: Values use number of projects or initiatives under the disclosed TNFD sector-guidance method, reporting period and boundary.

Published dimensions

  • Sector: Oil and Gas
  • Official metric code: OG.A2.1
  • Impact-driver category: Pollution/pollution removal
  • Activity type: decommissioning project or associated environmental remediation initiative

Calculation method

Formula information

Status
Specified
Formula type
Count

Formula

N_projects = COUNT(decommissioning projects undertaken and associated environmental remediation initiatives undertaken, using the disclosed counting and double-counting rule).

Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. OG.A2.1 specifies a reportable quantity of projects and associated initiatives. It is distinct from remediation expenditure, provisions, avoided emissions and restoration costs in the existing shortlist; method disclosures preserve the source's unresolved counting relationship between projects and initiatives.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).

  • State whether the reported total combines decommissioning projects and associated remediation initiatives or reports them as separate components.
  • Describe the rule used to prevent double counting of remediation initiatives associated with a decommissioning project.
  • Define what qualifies as an undertaken project or initiative, including treatment of ongoing and completed work.
  • State the geographic, operational and reporting-period boundary.

Record-specific limitations

  • The extracted source does not state whether decommissioning projects and associated remediation initiatives are to be counted jointly, separately, or without double counting where one project contains multiple initiatives.
  • The extracted source does not specify the reporting period, geographic coverage, project-completion criterion, or treatment of ongoing projects.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
