Abstract: 
The oil and gas industry is undergoing a significant transformation as it seeks to reduce its carbon footprint and transition towards more sustainable energy practices. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are playing a crucial role in this energy transition, providing reliable energy storage solutions that enhance operational efficiency, enable the integration of renewable energy sources, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This paper explores the application of Li-ion batteries in the oil and gas industry, presenting a life cycle analysis (LCA) methodology to evaluate their environmental impact, defining a system boundary, and offering examples of how these batteries facilitate decarbonization and the energy transition.
