Emission management
Emissions management remains an active and crucial research area in the oil and gas industry. It is a broad research category spanning several different directions. The papers of the past year demonstrate the rich diversity of ideas and analytical techniques used for tackling different research questions in this space.
This paper focuses on developing a model that can be used in an automated, end-to-end flare-smoke detection, alert, and distribution-control solution that leverages existing flare closed-circuit television cameras at manufacturing facilities.
This study recommends favoring the combustion of ammonia over hydrogen for the purpose of reducing CO₂ and nitrogen emissions.

Purchasing carbon offsets is a widespread means of attempting to meet carbon-reduction and net-zero emissions goals across many industries. Also widespread is the increasing scrutiny of the practice. How “real” are the offsets? How are they quantified and verified, and by whom? -
The company’s 2021 Energy Transition Outlook says the Earth likely will miss the 2°C goal of the Paris Agreement and the window to get back on track is closing rapidly.
-
The energy transition was present but not at center stage at recent earnings calls as majors celebrated their improving financial performance.
-
The world’s largest emissions trading market will probably start slowly.
-
The year-long research project is aimed at proving the feasibility of reliable, space-based emissions monitoring.
-
We need to analyze the carbon intensity of reserves, the potential emissions that are in front of us, not just the carbon intensity of current operations. An engineering solution associated with production forecasts over time offers a framework for thinking through the carbon-emissions issue.
-
President Biden is seeking plans from pipeline operators aimed at curbing methane emissions in their daily operations.
-
The roadmap presented by the International Energy Agency requires extreme measures that could be career changing for petroleum engineers.
-
BP says its new $1.3-billion Grand Slam electrified oil, gas, and water-handling facility is a clear example of its net-zero strategy in action.
-
The major rule change adopted this month also gives oil and gas producers a deadline to capture 98% of their produced gas by 2026.
