Decarbonization
EERC CEO Charles Gorecki outlines how applied research in North Dakota is helping improve oil recovery, reduce emissions, and advance carbon storage.
This article is the fifth in a Q&A series from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section focusing on emerging energy technologies. In this edition, Shantanu Agarwal, founder and CEO of Mati Carbon, discusses how the company’s approach to carbon removal led to winning the Musk Foundation’s XPRIZE in 2025.
The report from the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative presents data showing that its 12 member companies have reduced aggregate upstream methane intensity by 62%, routine flaring by 72%, and carbon intensity by 24% since 2017.

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.
-
Industry leaders say they believe oil and gas will continue to play a pivotal role in the energy mix in the lengthening energy transition timeline.
-
Technology and partnerships play a pivotal role in how the oil industry finds and produces energy from frontier regions and brownfields, both now and in the future.
-
This study highlights how the recovery and reuse of existing hydrocarbon infrastructure can contribute to the diffusion of district-heating projects that implement the principles of the circular economy.
-
Transitioning to a low-carbon economy demands large-scale CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage. In this context, the application of AI/ML technology to uncover geochemical, microbial, geomechanical, and hydraulic mechanisms related to storage and solve complicated history-matching and optimization problems, thereby enhancing storage efficiency, has been prominently …
