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.

The objective of this study is to improve the current understanding of the hydrodynamic processes arising when hydrogen is stored in subsurface porous media. This work compares the use of two cushion gases, namely carbon dioxide and methane, for hydrogen storage in a synthetic aquifer. -
"Our safety record is unacceptable, and improvements must be made," Kris Smith said.

Given that hydrogen sulfide is such a risk to workers, care must be taken to protect and prevent exposure, particularly when working with lesser-known methods and in more dangerous settings, such as sour-gas fields and the sweetening process.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a major disruption to industry training programs and university geoscience courses as travel restrictions and lockdowns created the need for digital alternatives. Although virtual field trips had been gaining traction before the pandemic, the sudden need to replace physical field activities has driven a rising interest to allow geologists …
