Freshwater withdrawal and discharges, excluding cooling water
(millions of cubic meters per year)

E&P: The graph differentiates between withdrawals of freshwater (less than 1.5 grams of salt per liter) for assisted injection water (13.2 million cubic meters) and other water (in particular process water: 14.5 million cubic meters).
Total water discharges of 75.6 million cubic meters include production water (up 18% to 61 million cubic meters), but do not include reinjection water (up 7% to 33 million cubic meters). This sharp increase is mainly due to higher activity and aging reservoirs.
G&P: Sharp increase in withdrawals and discharges due to gas pipeline construction.
Refining: Withdrawals down due to improved metering and lower recycling.
Chemicals: Target reduction of 10% decrease in withdrawals met (2007 versus 2002).

Hydrocarbon discharges in effluent (ppm)

E&P: Continued improvement thanks to the site improvement program begun in 2002. The average target of 30 ppm was achieved at end-2007.
Refining: Increase due to a water stripper malfunction at the Normandy refinery in France, responsible for more than one-third of Refining discharges in 2007. A priority upgrade will be carried out in 2008.

 

Suspended solids discharges
(metric tons/year)
2007 total: 1,207 metric tons

Chemical oxygen demand (COD) discharges
(metric tons per year)
2007 total: 6,010 metric tons

 
     

Hazardous waste treated offsite (thousands of metric tons per year)

Hazardous waste from routine operations stable since 2005 at around 270 ktons.
Refining: Increase in hazardous waste from routine operations due to treatment of spent caustic soda and a sharp decrease in special waste treated offsite.

Oil spills (over 159 liters) in cubic meters
2007 total volume: 2,318.5 cubic meters
