Working from the 2017 report, page 55 table, broken down into two rows, location-based (0.3 million) and market based (2.6 million) = 2.9 million.

 

Boundary is descrived as "Statoil group total indirect GHG emissions"

 

Also has the following note:

 

Statoil's scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions include emissions from energy imported from third parties. We use IEA (physical) and RE-DISS <

 

(market-based) as sources for Scope 2 emissions factors. These are expressed as kg CO2/KWh.

 

A location-based calculation method reflects the average emissions intensity of grids (using mostly grid-average emission factor data).

 

A market-based calculation method reflects emissions from electricity that companies have purposefully chosen (or their lack of choice). It derives

 

emission factors from contracts between two parties for the sale and purchase of energy bundled with attributes about the energy generation, or for

 

unbundled attribute claims (Source: Greenhouse gas protocol).
