Emission management
At COP28, more than 50 oil and gas companies took a historic step toward decarbonization by launching the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter. This article explores the importance of this effort, the opportunities available to the industry to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and the key technologies needed to achieve the net-zero goal.
This paper presents an evaluation of geopolymer cementing for use in oil and gas wells, specifically in the primary cementing of liner strings in the Permian Basin.
Oman’s Marsa LNG plant expects to drop its first LNG in Q1 2028 with production aimed at serving the marine fuel market (LNG bunkering) in the Gulf.

Matador Production Company has agreed to pay $6.2 million in fines and mitigation measures related to 239 oil and gas well pads in New Mexico, while Permian Resources Operating agreed earlier to pay $610,000 and make improvements to its equipment to settle environmental violations. -
In August 2020, scientists spent 10 days doing airborne surveys of more than 50 platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Their results revealed a climate impact twice as large as that estimated by government inventories.

The Gas Growth Integrated Project will capture and supply flare gas to generate electricity and treat seawater to manage pressure in oil wells in Iraq’s Basra region.
-
The authors of this paper discuss Saudi Arabia’s progress in gas flaring, the measures the government has taken, and how operators have adapted.
-
The authors of this paper describe an initiative taken to measure baseline data for methane emission for gas-processing facilities and gas-transmission and regasification units by using accurate tools and methodologies for detection and quantification.
