A laboratory research study evaluates several different chemical injection concepts for the removal of elemental mercury from multiphase flow.
Experts and industry leaders gathered in The Woodlands, Texas, recently to sift through the challenges of carbon capture, utilization, and storage. The puzzle is coming together, but some critical pieces are still needed before the results look like the picture on the box.
This article from the SPE Sustainable Development Technical Section (SDTS) explores how the next phase of methane performance will be defined less by pledges and more by measurement, response, and verifiable results.

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.

The project is expected to recover up to 300 MMscf/D of flared gas. Plans call for the recovered gas to be converted into treated dry gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and condensate for domestic use and export.
