In the US, localized opposition and regulatory uncertainty are threatening to kill or severely limit the use of carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) in the fight against climate change.

The government is offering its first major funding for the unexplored energy source.

Health, safety, and environment operations can be greatly enhanced by using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques on HSE data. One important aspect inherent in this process is the need to establish trust in the AI system among the users.

The project would be built in four phases, with each one producing more than 500 tonnes of hydrogen per day.

Decades of experience injecting fluids into the ground has revealed a fundamental truth: No two injection sites are the same. A thorough understanding of site-specific conditions is essential to ensure safe and secure long-term subsurface disposal of carbon dioxide.

Ipieca and the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers have updated their “Incident Management System for the Oil and Gas Industry,” “Oil Spill Exercises,” and “Responder Health and Safety” guidance documents.

The two main value drivers of the project were to minimize health, safety, and environmental effects and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in line with the company’s goal of moving toward net zero by 2050 and to maximize hydrocarbon recovery.

The emissions intensity of production is expected to decline further because of the continued shift toward newer and more productive operations in the deep water and other factors.

The company has acquired Dublin-based Enviroguide Consulting in an effort to increase its focus on environmental concerns.

The project aims to power subsea equipment with wave power and subsea energy storage. The two technologies have been deployed in the seas off Orkney, Scotland, and have begun a test program where they will provide low-carbon power and communication to infrastructure.
