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 authors write that polymeric additives are effective in the design of complex systems to house important chemical reagents under challenging conditions. -
While uncertainties remain for the coming year, there is also optimism for the upstream industry, a welcome prospect following two sharp downcycles in less than 6 years.
-
Selling reservoirs’ empty pore space may become a new, big business.
-
The plan includes the development and operation of a first-of-its-kind high-voltage, direct-current (HVDC-VSC) subsea transmission system in the Middle East and North Africa region.
-
If you’ve lived in areas with cold winters—really cold winters—you’ll applaud this research. It holds the potential to further the goal of decarbonization of the building industry plus improve comfort.
-
Natural gas delivered as LNG to growing economies in Asia has a strong role to play in achieving net zero in carbon emissions, and most of that gas will come from unconventional resources.
-
Operators will not be able to inject wastewater below 10,000 ft in the Gardendale area.
-
New investment, maturity in nuclear fusion technology could be the key to meeting lofty emissions goals.
-
While the world focuses on carbon dioxide—its problems and its uses—many are looking at how to move it around. Fortunately, a pipeline infrastructure already exists. Unfortunately, the pipelines were made for natural gas and not enough is known about how that infrastructure can handle carbon dioxide.

This paper presents the challenges and results of performing offshore drilling-waste management in a highly environmentally sensitive marine environment and UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve offshore Abu Dhabi. The solution required both thermal-treatment technology and cuttings-reinjection technology and became the world’s first single-source operation for this equipmen…
