Energy transition
The capability of modern wellbore surveying to increase asset value through improved subsurface modeling and completion-equipment placement is being overlooked by managers of operating companies.
This study ascertains the capital expenditure and operating expenditure associated with the reuse of existing facilities, specifically regarding a carbon capture and storage project being prepared in South Korea.
The authors state that issues faced by the Gorgon carbon capture and storage project primarily relate to risk and pressure management of the produced water from the Dupuy formation rather than from capture, transport, injection, and storage technologies.

The companies said they plan to work together on developing geopressured geothermal systems for low-carbon energy storage and geothermal power generation. -
Greenhouse gases are woven into every stage of a well’s life, which presents challenges that demand creative solutions that do not require too much capital.

Wood Mackenzie reports that prices would need to rise, capital discipline would need to evolve, and spending would need to increase by 30% for the upstream sector to meet demand in a delayed energy transition scenario.

The agreement aims to accelerate new commercial technologies that address challenges with geothermal development.
