How to parse asset ownership in Climate TRACE data

The document provides a step-by-step guide for users to identify all owners of a high-emitting asset, using the Troll oil and gas field in Norway as a case study. It clarifies that while the website dashboard displays only the primary owner, the CSV files provide a full list of owners and their respective percentage stakes.

• The Climate TRACE website dashboard simplifies ownership by displaying only the primary owner, whereas the CSV file downloads provide more comprehensive detail, including minority owners.
• Using the Troll oil and gas field in Norway as an example, the dashboard identifies Petoro (Norway) as the single owner, but the CSV data reveals five owners in total: Petoro (with a 56% majority stake), Equinor, Shell, TotalEnergies, and ConocoPhillips.
• To find detailed ownership stakes, users should download the country-specific 'Non-forest sectors (CSV)' ZIP package, navigate to the relevant sector subfolder, and locate the ownership CSV file where owner names are in column C and percentage stakes are in column E.
