The storage permits, the first of their kind, allow the Stratos facility to move forward with plans to capture and store up to 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
This article describes a technology combining a compression unit with a flexible line to offer a flaring alternative for transferring hydrocarbons.
This paper describes a deep-learning image-processing model that uses videos captured by a specialized optical gas-imaging camera to detect natural gas leaks.

Gas processor Lucid Energy is moving forward with a plan to inject a mix of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide deep below New Mexico’s portion of the Permian Basin. The project is designed to keep injecting for 30 years. -
The European Commission is expected to allow investments flowing into natural gas and nuclear energy projects to be considered as “green” investments, assuming certain criteria are met. Germany and France, however, differ in their approaches to renewables. While Germany has abandoned nuclear power in favor of natural gas, France continues to rely on nuclear.

Moving the needle with the urgency required to deliver on the Global Methane Pledge announced at COP26 requires us to “lean in” to cut methane emissions that are fully within our control across our operations.

While uncertainties remain for the coming year, there is also optimism for the upstream industry, a welcome prospect following two sharp downcycles in less than 6 years.

This paper presents the challenges and results of performing offshore drilling-waste management in a highly environmentally sensitive marine environment and UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve offshore Abu Dhabi. The solution required both thermal-treatment technology and cuttings-reinjection technology and became the world’s first single-source operation for this equipmen…

Methane continues to escape at a high rate from oil and gas operations in the Permian Basin, according to an aerial survey that detected major methane plumes from 40% of 900 sites that were measured.

Offshore Gulf of Mexico is becoming the destination of choice for international oil companies seeking new, low-carbon acreage to explore and develop.
-
The US government is looking to size up efforts related to leak detection and repair practices.

For more than a century, the oil industry magnificently improved the lives and health of humankind. Those gains help support a moral case to expand some use of fossil fuels but not to release them. Now it is time to lean in to solving the last step of our direct emissions.

The sheer expanse of the deep sea and the technological challenges of working in an extreme environment make these depths difficult to access and study. Scientists know more about the surface of the moon than the deep seafloor. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute is leveraging advancements in robotic technologies to address this disparity.
