The International Energy Agency cited a wave of cancellations and persistent challenges for dropping its projection for annual production of low-emissions hydrogen by 2030 from 49 mtpa to 37 mtpa.
In a study that applied alternative carbon carrier technology to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scenarios, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin found that the new method recovered up to 19.5% more oil and stored up to 17.5% more carbon than conventional EOR methods.
The spring Unified Agenda provides a snapshot of efforts to advance the president’s plans for fossil fuel exploration and infrastructure.

It is estimated there may be a few hundred thousand abandoned wells in Pennsylvania—some located in the woods, along riverbanks, in people's yards, and even inside their homes. -
The international petroleum industry has been in the spotlight after a gas leak sparked the underwater “eye of fire” boiling to the surface in the Gulf of Mexico and a large blast at a Caspian Sea oil and gas field.
-
Ranchers and regulators are contending with uncontrolled leaks from thousands of abandoned oil and gas sites that could render some land “functionally uninhabitable.”

Alumina Energy, Ionada, Parasanti, and SurgePower Materials will join the industrial scaling program at Halliburton Labs in Houston.
-
While Schlumberger, Halliburton, and Baker Hughes focus their legacy technology and service portfolios on driving up efficiency, driving down cost, and making current sources of energy less carbon intensive, they diverge on their approaches to scaling up development and deployment of breakthrough clean energy technologies.
-
Natural gas is produced from the ground now, but maybe not forever.
-
The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) cameras on marine vessels is planned to embrace a smarter automated analytic response and reporting culture, which, in turn, is expected to lead to increased safety oversight of critical offshore operations in areas that have been determined to have a lack of physical safety coverage.
-
The newly released document outlines the main types of tests available and examines approaches to isolation and quarantine for suspected and confirmed cases of COVID-19 in oil and gas industry workplaces.

The authors write that the road to decarbonization will involve several technologies working in concert, not the use of only one at the expense of others.
