While some idle wells may be brought back into production, many will be plugged and abandoned. This paper considers repurposing certain idle oil and gas wells by using their empty steel casing for the disposal of nuclear waste.
This article from the SPE Methane Technical Section looks at how, as methane regulation becomes more consequential in global oil and gas trade, operators increasingly need emissions data that can withstand commercial scrutiny, regulatory review, and independent verification.
In a move tied to national security, a Trump-appointed committee voted to exempt oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from Endangered Species Act requirements, marking the first such exemption in 3 decades.

This paper describes the operator’s initiative to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and recover additional hydrocarbon, monetizing it as sales gas, by integrating upstream and downstream gas facilities in a unified approach. -
The chair of the SPE Georgetown Section outlines how balanced, apolitical dialogue can support development amid rapid energy expansion.

This paper introduces a field-deployable, trailer-mounted liquefaction system engineered to convert flared or stranded gas into low-carbon liquefied natural gas.
-
The authors propose a deep-learning-based approach enabling near-real-time CO2-plume visualization and rapid data assimilation incorporating multiple geological realizations for predicting future CO2 plume evolution and area-of-review determination.

The North Sea Transition Authority said it expects interest in carbon storage to grow after UK’s second licensing round.
-
Propelling a proposed CCS project from the drawing board to first carbon storage requires overcoming several hurdles.
-
The 2025 report confirms for the second year that the Appalachian Basin has the lowest methane intensity of any major oil and gas basin in the US.
-
The North Sea Transition Authority has advanced the UK’s plans for carbon storage by approving the drilling of a proposed appraisal well off the coast of Teesside.
