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.
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.
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.

Seven years, and we’re on track to exceed the 1.5°C target established by the Paris Agreement in 2015 to limit global warming by 2030. Instead, we may be turning up the heat to 3.0°C. And in this case, doubling the wager does not hold potential for greater rewards. A recent report addressed the costs of technologies for emissions mitigation and their likelihood of mak… -
This paper discusses the results of driller stress tests and the implementation of a system that assists the operator in kick detection, space out, and preparation for well shut-in.

The Biden administration reversed a Trump administration plan that would have allowed the government to lease more than two-thirds of the country’s largest swath of public land to oil and gas drilling.

The US oil and gas company said it signed a letter of intent with the US midstream operator to explore commercializing a CO2 transportation and storage network.

Companies want to build pipelines to capture and store carbon, but a new report warns that regulators aren’t prepared.

A new study details how historically redlined neighborhoods across the US that scored lowest in racially discriminatory maps drawn by the government-sponsored Home-Owners Loan Corporation in the 1930s had twice the density of oil and gas wells than comparable neighborhoods that scored highest. The wells likely contribute to disproportionate pollution and related healt…

An incident at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) resulted in an investigation that revealed that, even though required risk-reduction levels were achieved in design, the rest of the safety instrumentation life cycle phases were not rigorously adhered to. This paper presents various actions taken by PDO to make sure that what is designed is operated and maintained as in…

A rule finalized by the White House will require agencies to assess the climate impact of roads, pipelines, and other infrastructure.
