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.
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.

The 33-month project will compare emissions data collected by terrestrial sensors to GHGSat's combined satellite and aircraft measurements. -
Production from the Hibernia platform was shut down again on 17 August after its second oil spill in a month, while Husky Energy began to ramp up output from the White Rose field following the largest-ever spill off Canada’s easternmost province.

An EPA plan would end oversight of methane leaks at oil wells, a move that risks undermining the climate sales pitch for natural gas.
-
Texas regulators rejected a rare challenge to gas flaring in the state after an oil company argued that a flaring ban would force it to shut in wells, damaging the reservoir and reducing future oil production.

Researchers mapped 251 faults in the North Texas home of the Barnett Shale, the birthplace of the shale revolution, finding that wastewater injection there “significantly increases the likelihood for faults to slip.”

BHP announced a 5-year, $400-million Climate Investment Program to develop technologies to reduce emissions from its operations as well as those generated from the use of its resources.
