The department announced it plans to combine the Bureau of Offshore Energy Management and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement into the Marine Minerals Administration.
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.
