This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
The US federal government is working to stymie offshore wind power, but proponents aren’t going quietly. Armed with data, they are taking on a sea of misinformation and hostility to defend the burgeoning resource in the US, while the rest of the world moves ahead briskly.
This paper reviews a proof-of-concept project in which surplus casing pipes were used in the fabrication of purposefully designed artificial reef structures for the enhancement of biodiversity and commercial fisheries.

The US oil and gas company said it signed a letter of intent with the US midstream operator to explore commercializing a CO2 transportation and storage network. -
A rule finalized by the White House will require agencies to assess the climate impact of roads, pipelines, and other infrastructure.

Is it possible for an extractive industry like oil and gas to not only improve efficiency and reduce negative impacts, but also leave operations sites and surrounding areas in a better state than they were found? Much of the public debate revolves around climate change, but measures of ecosystem resilience are dropping precipitously. Why should we care?
