Abstract

The production of oil and natural gas is the main source of economic activity and a vital component of the global energy system. However, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions that directly cause anthropogenic climate change is the production process. This study looks at the effects of oil and gas production in Indonesia's Ujung Pangkah field on the environment, specifically on global warming potential (GWP) fossil fuels, along the whole supply chain, from the extraction of raw materials to the products' transit (distribution). Life cycle assessment (LCA) in accordance with ISO 14040:2016, ISO 14044:2017, and the Product Category Rules (PCR) of Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Version 1.0 2023-06-19 is the methodology used in this study. The software SimaPro 9.1.0.8 was used to do the life cycle impact assessment. Cradle to grave is the system boundary established for this study, encompassing both direct emissions from operations and indirect emissions from energy use. According to the paper's conclusion, the characterisation results for oil, gas, and LPG's Global Warming Potential (IPCC 2021 GWP100 VI.02) are 0,06910 kg CO2 eq, 0,07494 kg CO₂ eq, and 0.7786 kg CO2 eq, respectively. The results also show that, during the course of the product's life cycle, the core stream phase as a utility—specifically, the unit processes of diesel generator & emergency WHP-A and diesel generator & emergency WPN—contributes the most to the environmental impact. This is because pertadex diesel is used as fuel for the power in the living quarters and offshore (WHP-A) in WPN. Diesel consumed in diesel electric producing is the parameter of the Pertadex (Ecoinvent database)
