Decarbonization
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.
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.
