Yep, never going to be perfect. A big part of my job is figuring out how to reduce energy consumption during production. It's a small piece of the puzzle, but I figure every little bit helps.
Utilizing solar power, automation, drilling better wells, designing improved lift systems. A lot of time and money goes into trying to reduce the impact, but at the end of the day peoples mindsets towards energy consumption have to change if we're going to move towards true sustainability.
