The project will implement two distinct carbon technologies aimed at capturing and storing carbon dioxide. Svante’s CEO Claude Letourneau describes his company’s solid-sorbent technology used in collaboration with Climeworks, one of the awarded companies.

With a successful pilot under its belt, Thailand's national oil company is planning a bigger production unit.

This paper presents a novel sustainable cost-effective method developed to scale up synthesis of Janus carbon nanoparticles from waste plastic feedstock by combined pyrolysis, chemical functionalization, and pulverization.

Paraffin deposition on the meters measuring produced water volumes causes inaccurate readings. New technology solutions enable lasting accuracy in the place of routine maintenance that provides a temporary solution.

When water and metal meet, you get corrosion. You also get a good dose of creative engineering and innovation.

Applications include identifying new green catalysts to enable the conversion of waste products to useful matter, green hydrogen generation, CO2 utilization, and the development of fuel cells. Novel catalysts also could be used to replace expensive and rare materials such as iridium, the metal used to generate green hydrogen and CO2 reduction products.

The authors report that nanopolysilicon can be used effectively as a depressurizing, injection-increasing agent.

The agreement will introduce rod couplings coated with nanolaminate technology with the goal of improving equipment reliability.

Providing a kick start for nascent companies developing clean energy technologies, Halliburton launched its innovation lab, Halliburton Labs. Its first participant is a nanomaterials company developing fireproofing and insulation technology.

Nanotechnology has great potential to reduce cost, increase production, and even improve the sustainability of E&P operations. But, where do we stand in terms of potential vs. reality? And, is the industry ready and willing to use the technology?
