GeoMap Europe is the latest in a series of interactive global geothermal maps that combine large subsurface and surface data sets to highlight where geothermal resources and development opportunities are strongest for power, heat, cooling, and storage.
Regulators pull from experiences in the oil and gas industry to define best stewardship practices for the nascent CCS industry.
A newly formed global coalition, Carbon Measures, aims to develop a ledger-based carbon accounting framework and champion market-based solutions to drive emissions reduction.
-
Consulting and engineering firm Wood is leading a joint industry partnership to create industry guidelines for carbon dioxide specifications to accelerate sustainable carbon capture, use, and storage projects. -
The presence of marine mammals during offshore infrastructure work is a major environmental concern. To safeguard species and their natural habitats, more and more local legislation imposes a cap on sound levels from offshore activities.
-
The increase in flaring emissions was led by operations in the Middle East, Africa, and Russia.
-
DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook 2024 projects continued growth in solar; slower growth in wind; and declines in coal, oil, and gas, while hydrogen and carbon capture projects are struggling.
-
Radioactive elements occur naturally at low levels in oil and gas basins. As oil and gas is extracted, these elements can accumulate in infrastructure. Now, scientists in Australia are investigating the toxicity of different radiation doses to marine organisms.

A study out of the University of Texas at Austin highlights the importance of realistic market thresholds, targeted activism, and the potential for certified markets to drive significant environmental improvements in the industry.
-
This paper aims to emphasize the importance of decision-making based on quantitative monitoring outputs, from both a business perspective and an ecosystem-service perspective, in future offshore projects.
-
This first of a two-part series provides guidelines for designing and operating advanced produced-water systems on offshore platforms, covering fluid characterization, chemical treatment, equipment, process configuration, operations, and effluent quality.
-
This paper describes a new application that leverages advanced machine-learning techniques in conjunction with metocean forecasts to predict vessel motions and thruster loads.
