Kehinde Ekweribe

GHG Onshore Manager Hess Corp

Kehinde’s career journey has been one of ever increasing application of technical skills and responsibilities. This journey has allowed her to become experienced in Production Engineering, Planning and GHG Emissions Management with extensive technical and leadership experience across multiple assets (Conventional Deepwater GOM and Denmark, Unconventional Onshore North Dakota, Conventional Onshore Permian Basin), in all phases of production operations (greenfield Tiebacks and brownfield operations).

Kehinde is also experienced with operations readiness planning and execution, SIMOPS planning, development and standardization of work flows, and offshore chemical project management. She is a trained Embedded Lean Leader and has applied lean principles in positively impacting production optimization and efficiency, developing people, and driving safety culture.

Main Conference Day 1 - October 8, 2025

1:40 PM Case Study: How Hess Leverages Advanced Analytics to Identify Impactful Levers for Emissions Reduction in the Bakken Asset, North Dakota

In this session, we will explore how Hess uses advanced analytics to develop an emissions reduction strategy. By identifying emissions hotspots and predicting emissions potential, Hess aims to efficiently and cost-effectively reduce emissions in their onshore assets in the Bakken, North Dakota. 

  • Learn how Hess conducts data collection, integration, and quality checks as the foundation for evaluating emissions hotspots    
  • Explore the criteria used to prioritize identified emissions and how Hess employs advanced analytics to predict potential emissions hotspots  
  • Discuss the use of technological solutions to assess achievable emission reductions and develop effective mitigation strategies 
  • Understand how Hess determines the metrics and KPIs used to measure emissions reduction, and the impact this has on potential use cases at the asset and business level 

4:30 PM Panel Discussion: Using Data to Identify and Build a Business Case for Economically Viable Emissions Reduction Projects

While emission reduction strategies are a key focus, initial CAPEX can be a concern. Any project chosen must provide a balance between effective emissions reductions and operational gains. This panel will review strategies to identify the projects with the most potential for success, both from a sustainability and OPEX perspective  

  • Using a bottom-up approach to gather emissions data from individual assets and identify projects that maximize both operational gains and emissions reductions. 
  • How to evaluate and select the most economically viable emissions reduction projects, by considering CAPEX, operational efficiencies, and production gains 
  • Different industries and organizations prioritize emission types differently. How can economic modelling help advocate for potentially lower priority emissions projects by highlighting their economic and operational benefits?
