Decarbonization
The AI revolution isn't just digital. This article examines how geology underpins the convergence of AI, energy, carbon management, and the infrastructure powering frontier LLMs.
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.

Before the dream of a “subsea factory” can come true, a group of North Sea companies will need to see if the required technology is economically feasible to build. -
By using the four converter-battery systems, the operator estimates it will be able to reduce the runtime of the rig’s on-platform diesel engines by 42%, cutting CO2 emissions by 15% and NOx emissions by 12%.

Rapid scale-up of carbon capture, use, and storage is essential for meeting climate and emissions targets while not crippling economic growth. Yet, its potential remains largely untapped because of reasons that include growing pains of immature technologies and uncertainty around public policy.
-
The venture arm of the oil giant has put $5 million toward the parent company of Finite Carbon, a US-based company working on sustainable forest management to offset carbon emissions.
-
The 100-year-old service company has joined the effort to achieve net-zero carbon emissions over the next 30 years. The move follows similar companywide efforts by BP and Shell.
-
Panelists at the opening general session of the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition acknowledged the industry’s daunting challenge of meeting global demand while reducing its carbon footprint.
-
Large-scale investment in carbon capture and methane-emission reduction tops the agenda of the Oil and Gas Carbon Initiative, an organization led by chief executives of several major oil and gas companies.
-
The report reveals there is no single pathway to a decarbonized energy mix. A combination of energy sources—primarily gas and renewables—will be the quickest route to delivering a supply of affordable, decarbonized energy in the lead-up to the midcentury.
-
The UK’s leading oil and gas industry body says the industry can reduce emissions while meeting the region’s energy demand.
-
The Oil & Gas Technology Centre has announced it will create, in partnership with industry, a Net Zero Solution Centre to accelerate the development and deployment of technologies to decarbonize offshore operations and develop the UK continental shelf as the first net zero oil and gas basin.
