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.

As the announcement of carbon sequestration projects becomes the norm, it’s time we look at what we know from a technical angle about how these projects need to be run based on the industry’s experience with enhanced oil recovery. -
With aggressive net-zero goals hanging overhead, countries are looking to fast-track low-carbon energy projects, and many are including nuclear in the mix.

Seven years, and we’re on track to exceed the 1.5°C target established by the Paris Agreement in 2015 to limit global warming by 2030. Instead, we may be turning up the heat to 3.0°C. And in this case, doubling the wager does not hold potential for greater rewards. A recent report addressed the costs of technologies for emissions mitigation and their likelihood of mak…

The US oil and gas company said it signed a letter of intent with the US midstream operator to explore commercializing a CO2 transportation and storage network.

Companies want to build pipelines to capture and store carbon, but a new report warns that regulators aren’t prepared.
-
Gas flaring, which accounts for 30% of carbon emissions from fossil-fuel operations, dropped globally to a 10-year low in 2021, but questions remain whether 2022 will see a rebound as the industry reboots in a post-COVID-19 world with oil and gas supplies tightening.
-
Any effective system of greenhouse-gas accounting needs to measure each company’s supply-chain carbon impacts accurately, providing visibility and incentives for it to make more climate-friendly product-specification and purchasing decisions.

ExxonMobil has initiated front-end engineering design studies to determine the feasibility of developing a South East Australia carbon capture and storage hub in the Bass Strait, where some of Australia’s oldest offshore oil and gas fields are to be decommissioned.
-
Supermajors continue to align their goals with a net-zero future while strides are made across the globe to add CCS, solar, and wind projects to help achieve ambitious green energy goals.

Oxy aims to combine crude oil with environmental attributes generated from the sequestration of atmospheric CO2 captured with its planned direct-air-capture plant and sequestered in its enhanced-oil-recovery reservoirs in the Permian Basin.
