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.

Tracking the Energy Transition: The Decarbonization Puzzle, the Power of Wine, and Hydrogen on TrackMajor energy companies are tapping into wine residues, used cooking oil, and waste animal fat to produce biofuels. Retooling to meet clean energy goals dominated the first day of the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition. And the US and European Union launched a global methane reduction pact that has climate advocates breathing a sigh of relief just weeks bef…
