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 Los Angeles City Council voted to ban new oil and gas wells in the country’s second most populous city and phase out existing wells over a period of 5 years. -
In-situ extraction of heavily sulfured oil by use of steam injection comes with a high risk of hydrogen-sulfide production resulting from aquathermolysis reactions. This could lead to casualties, environment damage, and corrosion of surface facilities and wells. Also, a strong need exists to understand aquathermolysis reactions and to forecast the generation of acid g…

The study assessed the CO2 footprint and NO2 emissions for different drill-cuttings treatment alternatives. The values were then used to create an emissions calculator that can be applied to projects to clarify the actual potential for emissions reduction within the drilling-waste-management process.
