Improving our operational efficiency
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, optimising water and energy use, simplifying processes, improving the safety of people and installations, developing robotics, etc. The CSTJF & PERL teams make a major contribution to TotalEnergies' operational efficiency strategy, to the excellence of its practices and to their continuous improvement. Our ambition: to produce ever more responsibly.
Target: near zero flaring!
As part of its strategy "More energy, fewer emissions", TotalEnergies’ commitment is to keep on reducing the greenhouse gases emitted by its industrial activities while continuing to find sustainable solutions to meet the needs of a growing world.
Seeing and understanding the invisible
At what actual depth does a reservoir lie? What are its dimensions? Which sedimentary layers hold the hydrocarbons? What quantity of hydrocarbons do they hold? To answer these questions, the affiliates call on the geosciences business lines. A historical competency at the CSTJF in Pau.
An R&D center and laboratories of excellence
The 10 laboratories at the CSTJF, originally created to meet the needs of the Exploration & Production branch, develop competencies that today help them to provide solutions to the new environmental challenges TotalEnergies faces.
The Pilot Rivers: the only open-air laboratory
The Pilot Rivers were built in 1999 at the Platform for Experimental Research in Lacq (PERL). The facility comprises 16 artificial water courses, each 40m long. The only facility of its kind in Europe, this open-air laboratory, supplied with water from the Gave de Pau, can be used to accurately reproduce the ecosystem of that river.
