Compared to the previous year (2024), Nabors Industries's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Nabors Industries's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Nabors Industries reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Nabors Industries reported 171,521 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Nabors Industries includes a breakdown across 4 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 3 in 2024, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2025, Nabors Industries reported total Scope 3 emissions of 171,521 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Nabors Industries's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 17.28%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2025, Nabors Industries reported emissions for 4 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Nabors Industries's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Nabors Industries reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 913,533 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 3,185 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 286.85 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Nabors Industries reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 286.85 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 290.61, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Nabors Industries ranked 12 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Nabors Industries is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Nabors Industries reported a total carbon footprint of 1,138,333 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 2.89% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Nabors Industries's total carbon footprint was Scope 1 emissions, accounting for 80.25% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 15.07%.a
