Snapshot
Based on reported data, retrieved with AI
- Superior Energy Services reported 28,158 tCO₂e in 2024.
- Scope 2 reported under the location based methodology.
According to available emissions disclosures, Superior Energy Services reported total yearly emissions of 28,158 tCO₂e in 2024. Scope 1 emissions accounted for 53% of the reported footprint, indicating the company's own operations, such as fuel use, facilities and vehicles, were the most significant contributors to its carbon footprint.
The company does not have a Mycelium Score for 2024, because there is no revenue figure on file to measure its carbon intensity.

tCO2e3 values were derived via Mycelium's normalisation process rather than reported by the company. A cell marked “ESTIMATED” is a figure the company did not disclose, modelled by Mycelium. Cells marked “–” were not disclosed, and Mycelium can't model them without a revenue figure for Superior Energy Services, which it doesn't have yet.

How scoring works
How the Mycelium Score is calculated
The Mycelium Score is out of 10. Up to 6.5 points reflect carbon intensity vs peers in the same NACE section (emissions normalised against revenue, log-scaled between the 5th and 95th percentile of each company's latest reporting year in that section; a section needs at least 5 companies to be benchmarked). The band above 6.5 is earned through verified data quality on a claimed profile: declaring every reporting category yourself (up to 2.0), preparation by a carbon accountant (2.0) and independently audited figures (2.0). The total is multiplied by the transparency score and capped at 10. A disclosure with an implausibly large figure (Scope 1 or 2 over 300 million tonnes, a Scope 3 figure over 2 billion tonnes or a total over 2.5 billion tonnes) is not scored until it has been checked.
A higher score means lower carbon intensity than sector peers, backed by data that's third-party verified, claimed by the company, and fully disclosed. Without a revenue figure to measure carbon intensity, or an industry classification to compare it within, a company has no score.
How the Transparency Score is calculated
The Transparency Score is the share of a company's estimated footprint that it reported itself, graded from A (very high) down to F (very low). Where a category is missing, Mycelium models what it would hold for a company of that size and industry and counts it as undisclosed, so an unreported category where the bulk of emissions sit hurts far more than a minor one. Unreported downstream categories (9 to 15) count at a quarter of their modelled size in this share; the carbon intensity behind the score still counts them in full. A Scope 3 total filed without a category breakdown earns very little credit for the part left unattributed, because it does not show which categories are inside it: a company can count business travel, leave purchased goods out entirely, and the total looks the same. Without a revenue figure the footprint cannot be modelled, so the company has no Transparency Score.
For Superior Energy Services, the single biggest gap is Business travel (Scope 3 Category 6). Mycelium estimates it accounts for around 21% of the company's estimated footprint, yet it hasn't been disclosed. Leaving a bucket this large unreported is what's holding the transparency score down.
Other material categories Superior Energy Services hasn't disclosed:
- Waste generated in operations (Scope 3 Category 5), around 6% of the estimated footprint
In total, roughly 29% of Superior Energy Services's estimated emissions sit in categories it hasn't reported. Disclosing these would be the fastest way to raise the transparency score.

Does Superior Energy Services report Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions?
For 2024, Superior Energy Services's available disclosure covers Scope 1 (14,987 tCO2e) and Scope 2 (13,171 tCO2e). Figures not reported by the company are shown as modelled estimates and labelled as such.
Is Superior Energy Services sustainable?
Mycelium measures sustainability through carbon emissions data rather than giving a yes or no verdict. Superior Energy Services does not have a Mycelium Score for 2024 yet. The emissions figures and disclosure documents on this page give the fuller picture.
Is Superior Energy Services environmentally friendly?
Carbon emissions are one measurable part of environmental impact, and the part Mycelium tracks. Superior Energy Services disclosed 28,158 tCO2e for 2024. It does not have a Mycelium Score yet to compare that with similar companies in its sector.
