This paper identifies opportunities and risks associated with repurposing an offshore oil and gas platform for green hydrogen production. Various technical scenarios were investigated for the case study platform, and their profitability was determined using economic calculations. In addition, all the submodels were compared with standard decommissioning costs for reco…
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO₂ capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO₂ concentrations.
Emissions management covers a wide array of topics such as carbon capture, use, and storage; emissions monitoring; flare management; methods to improve operational efficiency; carbon accounting; and the effect of emissions management on global and local economics. The papers published in the past year span all these subcategories.

Pennsylvania children living near unconventional oil and gas developments at birth were two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with leukemia between the ages of 2 and 7 than those who did not live near this oil and gas activity, after accounting for other factors that could influence cancer risk, a novel study from the Yale School of Public Health finds. -
This paper presents 2 years of results from an ongoing multiyear initiative consisting of periodic, large-scale aerial methane surveys paired with ground crew inspection, validation, and prioritized repair.

The 2022 Presidential Award for Outstanding Technical Section, the first of its kind, recognizes the top 5% of the society’s technical sections.
-
The new-generation FPSO will minimize emissions with carbon capture and reinjection as well as energy-recovery capabilities.
-
Airborne emissions surveys of offshore oil and gas facilities are not as common as those done onshore. A recent study suggests that needs to change.
-
Shell’s venture capital subsidiary has acquired Sprng Energy, one of India’s largest renewables platforms, thus tripling its operating wind and solar power assets.
-
The increase in CO2 emissions has been dramatic in the last few decades. A possible solution to this difficult and intractable problem can be adopting a circular carbon economy.
