Decarbonization
This paper presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
This work presents an evaluation for carbon capture, utilization, and storage projects in the UAE for two wells in a saline water aquifer with respect to caprock integrity and water sampling.
This work introduces an analytical model for nonisothermal CO2 injection that accounts for both Joule-Thomson cooling and interformation heat exchange.

This paper examines the shortfalls of current CO2 capture and storage measures and their future within the context of increasing global consumption of fossil fuels. -
The Permian’s produced-water challenge presents an opportunity for innovation to pave the way toward a more sustainable future for the industry.

An economic analysis of a wellbore methodology in natural gas fields that uses gasification of methane within the wellbore (not within the reservoir) for hydrogen production while incorporating simultaneous sequestration of carbon. This new methodology offers significant energy and cost savings in addition to zero carbon being produced to the surface.

A new kind of groupie is interested in the heavy metal band Metallica’s tour in Europe, including Shell, big-rig and electric vehicle manufacturers, and producers of hydrogen, biofuels, and LNG. It has less to do with the music than the alternative fuels keeping the buses rolling on the 2-month, 7,200-mile journey across nine countries.

In this paper, the authors propose polymer-assisted water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection as an alternative method to reduce gas mobility while reducing the mobility of the aqueous phase and, consequently, improving WAG performance.

Definition and call for participation in the 11th Society of Petroleum Engineers Comparative Solution Project, which is motivated by the immense challenge of achieving geological carbon storage at a scale that impacts significantly atmospheric emission of carbon dioxide.

A new report finds the need for political, regulatory, and fiscal alignment to ensure a just and fair transition.

The plant is designed for a capture capacity of up to 36,000 tons of CO₂ per year once in full swing by filtering CO₂ from the air and storing it permanently underground. The company is also developing multiple megaton hubs in the US.

Companies are rushing to inject carbon into Louisiana’s ground, but will thousands of abandoned wells allow it to escape?

At the 2024 Offshore Technology Conference, industry giants like ExxonMobil, Equinor, and Petrobras offered a look at the future of low-carbon floating production, storage, and offloading units.
