title: Synthetic GHG Emissions Dataset for OFP–OSDU Integration in Energy Sector Reporting

description: This dataset represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first publicly available synthetic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions dataset explicitly mapped to both the Open Footprint (OFP) model and the Open Subsurface Data Universe (OSDU) schemas (Facility, Asset, Measurement). It was developed to fill a critical gap by enabling interoperability testing, ESG reporting validation, and integrated sustainability–operations analytics in the energy sector.

The dataset contains 500 records across 32 parameters, including facility-level identifiers, production metrics, flaring volumes, methane intensity, and Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. All values are synthetically generated but follow realistic industry ranges and relationships to support reproducible research without exposing confidential or proprietary information.

This dataset is FAIR-compliant (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and intended for use in:





ESG and GHG reporting system prototyping




Data model integration testing between OFP and OSDU




Benchmarking analytics pipelines for emissions monitoring




Academic research, teaching, and demonstration purposes



Disclaimer: This dataset is entirely synthetic and does not represent actual company or facility data. It is provided for educational, research, and development purposes only.
description: 📣 Community Note

If you explore or use this dataset, we would greatly appreciate your feedback! Please consider:

• Citing this dataset in your work

• Sharing suggestions for improvements

• Reaching out if you’d like to collaborate on future versions

This dataset was developed to support interoperability between the OFP and OSDU platforms. Community insights especially from ESG, emissions, OSDU, and OFP experts are valuable for shaping roadmap priorities and ensuring cross-domain relevance.

Schema Alignment

This dataset has been explicitly mapped to the Open Footprint (OFP) emissions model and to publicly available Open Subsurface Data Universe (OSDU) Well-Known Schemas (WKS), as defined in the OSDU Data Definitions repository (The Open Group, 2025).

Earlier versions of OSDU documentation used “WKE” (Well-Known Entity) to describe instantiated data objects; these are now unified under WKS terminology. The dataset aligns with the following canonical schemas:



WKS:master-data-Facility:1.0.0 → Facility_ID, Facility_Name, Facility_Type, Latitude, Longitude, Facility_Status  

WKS:master-data -Asset:1.0.0 → Asset, Sector, Company  

WKS:work-product-component - Measurement:1.0.0 → Emission_Value_tCO₂e, Energy_Consumed_kWh, Flaring_Volume_Mscf, Methane_tons  

WKS:work-product-component - ProductionData:1.0.0 → Production_Volume, Production_Unit  

(Proposed) WKS:extension - EnvironmentalData:1.0.0 → Scope_1/2/3_tCO₂e


A field-level mapping file (schema-mapping/OFP_OSDU_Mapping_v1.0.csv) is provided in the GitHub repository for transparency, reproducibility, and integration testing.
