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.
