*Fields that have multiple participants are represented as belonging to each of the participants. Adding the data from multiple companies therefore risks double-counting emissions.
The companies analyzed in are the 25 companies that extracted the most oil and gas in 2021.

Projected COâ‚‚ emissions from all oil and gas reserves of major producers 2021
The world's ** leading oil and gas producers currently extract oil and gas from more than fields worldwide, while a further *** are planned in the immediate future. Projections show that if all the reserves from these fields is burned it would emit *** billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCOâ‚‚). This would account for around ** percent of the world's entire remaining carbon budget to limit global warming to *** degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, which as of November 2022 stood at an estimated *** GtCOâ‚‚. The projected emissions from Saudi Aramco's remaining oil and gas reserves is ** GtCOâ‚‚ - roughly six times more than China's COâ‚‚ emissions in 2021.
