Decarbonization
Regulators pull from experiences in the oil and gas industry to define best stewardship practices for the nascent CCS industry.
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.
EERC CEO Charles Gorecki outlines how applied research in North Dakota is helping improve oil recovery, reduce emissions, and advance carbon storage.

The authors of this paper propose hybrid models, combining machine learning and a physics-based approach, for rapid production forecasting and reservoir-connectivity characterization using routine injection or production and pressure data. -
The objective of this study is to develop an explainable data-driven method using five different methods to create a model using a multidimensional data set with more than 700 rows of data for predicting minimum miscibility pressure.

Australia’s Ichthys LNG facility will provide feedstock, along with production from legacy Japanese gas fields that will also serve as repositories for CO2 storage.
-
The institute is tasked with accelerating the deployment and scaling of cost-effective climate technology.

Ineos, the day-to-day operator of Greensand Future, with its partners Harbour Energy and Nordsøfonden, has made a final investment decision into the first commercial phase, with storage operations set to begin by early 2026.
-
The drilling contractor is spending big to deploy natural-gas-powered microgrids and battery storage.
-
Permits for the East Side Cluster carbon storage project have been awarded, and participants have begun announcing final investment decisions.
-
The upstream oil and gas sector alone could cut as much as 4% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, according to a report from McKinsey. But this will take worldwide cooperation among industry players and capital investors.
-
Sharing state-of-the-art design and troubleshooting methods, the workshop identified future separation needs and gap statements and proposed how to close the gaps.
