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.
-
Research by Enervus sees early 2026 permitting activity for the carbon capture and storage wells pointing to a growing approval queue, even while the rate of applications eases. -
This paper presents a case study of oriented tubing-conveyed perforation followed by an acidizing operation to overcome technical challenges posed by a depleted reservoir targeted for a carbon capture, utilization, and storage project.
-
Caturus Energy’s platform integrates upstream assets from the Haynesville and East Texas basins with downstream liquefaction and export terminal facilities on Louisiana’s Gulf Coast.
-
Cella’s approach borrows established EOR practices to mineralize pure‑phase CO2 in basalt rocks while reducing water requirements.
-
Experts and industry leaders gathered in The Woodlands, Texas, recently to sift through the challenges of carbon capture, utilization, and storage. The puzzle is coming together, but some critical pieces are still needed before the results look like the picture on the box.
-
An investigative study examines the use of creeping shale formations as a more durable alternative to conventional cement barriers in carbon dioxide storage wells, potentially enabling safer long-term underground carbon storage.
-
This paper describes the operator’s initiative to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and recover additional hydrocarbon, monetizing it as sales gas, by integrating upstream and downstream gas facilities in a unified approach.
-
This paper highlights the effects of tax credits on business operations for midstream companies in the Permian Basin.
-
This paper introduces a field-deployable, trailer-mounted liquefaction system engineered to convert flared or stranded gas into low-carbon liquefied natural gas.
-
The authors propose a deep-learning-based approach enabling near-real-time CO2-plume visualization and rapid data assimilation incorporating multiple geological realizations for predicting future CO2 plume evolution and area-of-review determination.
