- Operational procedures during facility start-ups and shutdowns, coupled with regular spill response drills, enhance our readiness to manage potential incidents effectively. We also maintain an ample supply of spill-neutralizing agents to minimize environmental impacts.
- Waste management system (clearly labeled containers for different waste types, with monthly documentation and annual reporting to environmental authorities. We engage authorized service providers for the regular collection and transport of waste. Our facilities temporary storage solutions manage waste between collection intervals.)
- Agreements with local utilities to ensure responsible water consumption and disposal. (These agreements cover both drinking water supply and the treatment of household and meteorological water, emphasizing sustainability and compliance with local regulations.)
- Transparent communication of all environmental issues to our management (weekly meetings, monthly reports, quarterly updates in the Risk Register, and annual analyses within the Integrated Management System.)
- Integrated Management System (regular reporting for informed decision-making, a detailed metric system to monitor environmental aspects, including water usage, fuel consumption, power, wastewater quality, and waste management.
Rompetrol Well Services has successfully avoided significant spills and received no grievances from the local community. In 2024, the filtration system for the car wash ramp and equipment at Rompetrol Well Services Ploiesti was successfully restored, as well as the cleaning of hydrocarbon separators at the operational bases in Ploiesti and Moinesti, using specialized companies, in compliance with environmental requirements and legislation. In this way, we ensure that we comply with the environmental indicators required by APA Nova and APM Ploiesti.

For Rompetrol Well Services, the increase in 2024 compared to 2023 is due to hazardous waste generated during the cleaning of hydrocarbon separators at the Ploiești and Moinești bases. This activity is not performed annually, but rather as needed when separators become clogged. In addition, due to increased operational activity in 2024, the volumes of mixed municipal waste and packaging waste were higher than in the previous year.
Emissions
In 2024, GHG emissions intensity demonstrated the adoption of a more efficient operational model, with a significantly reduced ratio between total emissions and net sales. This reflects not only an improvement in operational efficiency but also an important step toward reducing environmental impact per unit of production.
