Decarbonization
The North Sea Transition Authority has updated its UKCS Well Applications and Consents Guidance to include the process for applying for consent to drill carbon-storage wells.
For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, CO₂ injection, and next-generation energy technologies.
This study identifies critical knowledge gaps in wellbore integrity and underscores areas that require further investigation, providing insights into how wellbores must evolve to meet the technical demands of the energy transition.

The authors state that issues faced by the Gorgon carbon capture and storage project primarily relate to risk and pressure management of the produced water from the Dupuy formation rather than from capture, transport, injection, and storage technologies. -
The ruling means the state will take over permitting and enforcement of EPA regulations pertaining to all classes of wells, including injection wells for carbon dioxide storage.
