Each year, six technical papers are selected to give an overview of the state of the health, safety, and environment discipline in the oil and gas industry. Synopses of the papers are presented here with links to the complete papers and suggestions for further reading.

Nuytco Research developed and built this hard metal, articulated dive suit to allow divers to operate safely down to a depth of 1,000 ft and still have dexterity and flexibility to perform delicate work. The EXOSUIT atmospheric diving system maintains a cabin pressure of the surface and still allows the suit to bend due to a unique rotary joint. Two redundant oxygen s…

A pilot project demonstrates that facilities design plays an important role in providing sources of CO2 for the gas-handling process for injection into a carbonate formation as a tertiary recovery mechanism.

Natural gas, coupled with carbon capture and storage (CCS), could provide cheap and reliable energy in the long term and mitigate climate change. Gas-to-wire (GTW) generates electricity from natural gas at or near the field. This study applies an integrated GTW/CCS scheme to a gas-production field.

A demonstration project of carbon capture, utilization, and storage through enhanced oil recovery was conducted in Saudi Arabia. Surface facilities for such projects are expensive to build and involve tradeoffs in options based on economics for a given set of conditions.

Collaboration is critical to achieving recognition of the scope and value of carbon capture and storage and achieving acceptance for specific projects.

Structures in the ocean made by people, such as oil and gas rigs, shipwrecks, or renewable energy devices, could help protect sea creatures under threat from human pressure and climate change, according to a study in Scientific Reports.

The paper discusses the main factors affecting CO2 corrosion, provides an assessment of what to look for in major equipment, and details recommended material of construction and corrosion mitigation/control methods.

Maersk Supply Service is set to provide marine support to The Ocean Cleanup, a Dutch nonprofit that is developing advanced technologies to rid the oceans of plastic.
