Decarbonization
Sustainable energy continues to grow as a focus for reliable, affordable, and secure energy as seen from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Three primary areas are being reported on heavily: carbon use for enhanced oil recovery, geological hydrogen discovery, and critical minerals from the subsurface.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
This paper explores the development of direct-lithium-extraction technologies designed to recover lithium from unconventional feedstocks.

This paper provides a comprehensive study for offshore carbon-dioxide (CO2) storage projects, identifying critical elements for estimation, injection, containment, and monitoring of CO2 plumes. -
Tellurian awarded a contract that will result in the first application of the service provider's integrated compressor line technology in North America.
-
The Mammoth project follows the company’s proven Orca model but will scale up the CO2 capture capacity to 36,000 tons per year.
-
The deal with Manulife gives Oxy unit 1PointFive access to 27,000 acres of subsurface pore space for carbon sequestration.
-
The new areas are expected to make a significant contribution to the government’s target of capturing and storing 20 million–30 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
-
The second plenary session at URTeC this week highlighted the stark reality of both knowns and unknowns oil companies must face in the race to a carbon-free future.
