Decarbonization
Winners of Alberta's Drilling Technology Challenge cover a range of technologies from robotics to enhance drilling rig safety to AI-enabled energy management, downhole sensing, well navigation, hybrid power systems, and geothermal energy.
Located along the North Sea, the Humber is expected to play a central role in the UK’s effort to achieve a net-zero emissions status by 2050.
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.

This paper discusses an effort to prevent permanent loss of mangrove habitats using a long-term restoration strategy based on the transplantation of fertilized seedlings produced at mangrove nurseries in partnership with local communities. -
This study catalogs global gas/oil ratio data to identify currently produced light crude oils that could be rendered carbon neutral through the direct-air-capture mechanism.
-
This paper describes the material selection methodology and corrosion studies performed in a CO2 sequestration project to optimize well costs and improve overall project economics without jeopardizing the CO2-injector-well integrity.

Under the new agreement, ExxonMobil will capture, transport, and store carbon from Nucor’s direct reduced iron plant in Louisiana.
-
The innovations in the carbon removal space are gaining attention for their potential to curb global climate change, but they each face particular challenges in implementation.
-
Companies licensed to drill in the North Sea will report their findings to regulators under new powers brought forward in an Energy Bill amendment.
-
SPE Journal has issued a call for papers for the 11th Comparative Solution Project (CSP) Special Issue. Organized by guest editors Anthony Kovscek (Stanford University) and Knut-Andreas Lie (SINTEF), submissions that are both directly and indirectly related to the 11th CSP will be accepted.
-
The consortium will leverage the oil and gas industry's 100+ years of experience and technological developments in drilling and subsurface engineering to advance geothermal.
