CO2 emissions

ExxonMobil has committed $100 million over 10 years to work with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the National Energy Technology Laboratory to bring lower-emissions technology to commercial scale.

There is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than there has been for 800,000 years—since before our species evolved.

The new satellite will build on the success of the company's demonstration satellite Claire, which has performed over 2,500 observations of oil and gas facilities as well as other natural and industrial sources of carbon dioxide and methane.

Developing performance indicators that will provide meaningful comparisons across the wide variation in oil and gas platforms is important, since good indicators can drive optimal operations. But is is also complex.

This paper discusses novel technologies for increasing the energy efficiency of offshore oil and gas platforms. Three case studies are in progress that are based on actual oil-producing platforms—two on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) and one in the Brazilian basin.
