HSE & Sustainability
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…
The solvent-based technology involves a modular treatment process that uses a proprietary catalyst designed to safely and sustainably remove hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from sour gas streams using either produced water or an alkaline water as the treating media.
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.

By turning its back on Russian oil and gas, will Europe speed up or slow down its energy transition, and what will be the impact on global climate change? -
Technology (and a tight hiring market) are eliminating surveillance in commercial trucking.

The suite of tools includes a digital platform for sharing emissions data, an agreed set of definitions that nails down what different terms mean, a single set of metadata definitions, and an API through which users can access data. When used together, these tools provide an integrated perspective on what emissions are coming from where.

Trafigura, a group of physical commodity trading companies, and Palantir Technologies announced their intent to develop a platform to calculate carbon intensity, combining the efforts of trading and digital technology to account for Scope 3 emissions. The aim is to increase transparency of life-cycle emissions and to provide benchmarking against other market participa…
