The pressure pumping giant turns to algorithms to get better fractures and fewer problems.

Three companies are collaborating to develop the equipment needed to make LNG a feasible alternative fuel for ship owners and operators.

Even with the wealth of experience already in place within the oil and gas industry, the obstacles to advancing CCS to the forefront of greenhouse gas mitigation technologies remain significant.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Trelleborg’s Vikodeck fireproofing tiles are designed to offer surface protection against blast, jet, and pool fire in harsh environments, while also providing corrosion protection and anti-fatigue dampening support. The tiles can withstand movement as well as impacts that could possibly damage or crack a rigid system. They are impact resistant and capable of withstan…

A new report shows a 16% increase fueled by longer lateral lengths and horizontal drilling activity out of the Permian Basin. Continued gains in these areas should bode well for the future, but other factors may play into the market’s performance.
