Decarbonization
TotalEnergies signed off for 30% operated stakes in the Lang Lebah and B14 gas fields offshore Sarawak on the sidelines of ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, while also highlighting methane-reduction partnerships in Angola, India, and Southeast Asia.
This SPE technical section editorial synthesizes six technical themes shaping CO2 transport and storage and interprets them through a petroleum engineering capability lens.
The Pawnee Carbon Sequestration Project, which would use a repurposed well, is planned to capture and store up to 400,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, with first injection targeted for early 2027.

The 2025 update to SPE’s CO₂ Storage Resources Management System (SRMS) is now available. Following a 2-year review, the updated framework—endorsed by six professional societies—builds on the original 2017 system to support consistent classification, evaluation, and reporting of CO₂ storage resources. A key change in the 2025 SRMS Update is the inclusion of CO₂ EOR as… -
The UK North Sea Transition Authority has awarded the required permits for the East Irish Sea project, and the project has reached financial close. The carbon capture and storage project is expected to receive its first carbon dioxide in 2028.
-
The full potential of data can only be realized when it is viewed not in isolation but as part of the dynamic triad of hydrocarbons, the data, and the people who interpret it and act on it.
-
The meeting of leaders, experts, and stakeholders emphasized the urgency of addressing greenhouse-gas emissions to mitigate climate change and align with global sustainability goals.
-
The test marks a milestone in the Poseidon CCS project, which aims to store carbon dioxide in the depleted gas reservoir below the Leman development in the southern North Sea.
-
The storage permits, the first of their kind, allow the Stratos facility to move forward with plans to capture and store up to 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
-
This paper aims to provide insights to address the challenge of identifying the optimal point within the gas-processing lineup for recovering a high-purity CO₂ stream suitable for sequestration.
-
The first phase of the Norwegian project is expected to receive its first carbon dioxide this year, with the second phase slated to start operations in late 2028.
-
This paper introduces a novel optimization framework to address CO2 injection strategies under geomechanical risks using a Fourier neural operator-based deep-learning model.
-
The agreement aims to bring the efforts of both companies together to advance digital-enabled carbon-free floating power generation.
