This paper describes a project in the heavy oil Captain field in the UK sector of the North Sea in which reduced environmental impact dovetails with improved economics.
-
The road to a low-carbon world is paved with more than just shiny new facilities and the promise to deliver impressive CO₂ reductions from the atmosphere. Without the software to site, monitor, and maintain those facilities, the drive for net zero would be stuck in neutral.
-
What we’ve learned about faster drilling in oil and gas applied just as well to geothermal development—until we reached The Geysers.
-
Undergraduate education in petroleum engineering has survived the latest downturn in the industry, and enrollment has started to show an uptick in numbers. However, a different trend is evident in graduate training and academic research: the number of researchers being trained in oil and gas topics is drastically dropping.
-
This paper aims to close some of the many knowledge gaps that exist in the field of drilling CO₂ storage wells, a task that is expected to involve handling an influx of CO₂ into the drilling fluid.
