A DNV report on decarbonization says the Middle East and North Africa region is expected to become the world’s largest hydrogen exporter by 2060 while maintaining a dominant position in global oil and gas markets.
The planned facility was designed to process 34 MMcf/D of associated gas into fully refined gasoline.
The newly named MTS brings together the full methane ecosystem, end to end—connecting technology, data, operations, and assurance across upstream, midstream, and beyond.

Operators of unconventional plays face a conundrum—how to dispose of produced water economically without risking seismicity or aquifer contamination. A recent paper and virtual forum offer ideas for optimizing saltwater disposal. -
The challenge is immense, but the promise is, too. If the oil and gas business can scale up CO2 EOR, then it can play a very big role in mitigating climate change while offering carbon-negative fuels.

The coronavirus crisis had a devastating effect on oil-company revenues, but it has posed a tough human-resources problem too: how to keep workers safe on cramped rigs at sea where social-distancing is impossible. Many operators have found an answer in technology—specifically, digital twins.
-
Addressing engineering or mechanical controls alone without addressing the human behavior at the center of operations in the energy industry limits process safety efforts to decrease serious incidents and fatalities.
