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.

The tools to reduce flaring are well within reach, but the results will depend on a long-term commitment by operators and governments. -
This paper reviews the simultaneous supercritical CO2/brine aquifer injection and water-alternating-gas methods for geologic carbon sequestration and proposes a novel integration with saltwater-disposal wells.
-
In the past year, publications on CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage have increasingly focused on the design, evaluation, and optimization of storage plans. These efforts encompass a broad spectrum of challenges and innovations, including the expansion of storage reservoirs from depleted gas fields and saline aquifers to stratified carbonate formations and heavy-o…

Geothermal development is gaining steam and entering a transformative era, driven by breakthroughs in adapting and improving on engineering, drilling, completion, and production technologies to the efficient extraction of heat from the Earth.
-
Block Energy announced the completion of its carbon capture and storage pilot study, confirming the viability of the field for permanent carbon storage.
-
DNV awarded the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company a storage certificate at the endorsement stage for its West Aquifer site.
-
Four former gas-producing wells have been converted into injection wells and are now preparing to receive carbon dioxide for storage.
-
The US Environmental Protection Agency withdraws its legal basis for federal vehicle GHG standards, setting up potential court challenges.
