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.
This study explores the carbon-capture and mineralization potential of ultramafic rock powders when exposed to flue gases generated from combustion of crude oil and mesquite-derived charcoal.

The Doyon 26 drilling rig, reportedly the largest mobile land rig in North America, fell on its side while being transported in Alaska’s North Slope, sending eight people to area clinics for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. -
Damage to power distribution systems prompted precautionary shutdowns at two major oil fields.
-
The report says the capacity of renewables in the region is set to grow tenfold by 2040 as electricity demand and new sectors drive rapid solar and wind expansion.

The North Sea Transition Authority has updated its UKCS Well Applications and Consents Guidance to include the process for applying for consent to drill carbon-storage wells.
-
For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.

Experience in subsurface production and lift design is shaping a new generation of geothermal operations built for reliability and scalability.
-
This study identifies critical knowledge gaps in wellbore integrity and underscores areas that require further investigation, providing insights into how wellbores must evolve to meet the technical demands of the energy transition.
-
This study illustrates the new capabilities, tailored for carbon-dioxide storage applications, of a modeling framework that provides a quantitative, risk-based assessment of the long-term integrity of legacy plugged and abandoned wells.
-
This paper examines how real-time monitoring can improve both incident prevention and emergency response in the oil and gas industry. Drawing from real-world examples and case studies, it provides practical strategies for implementing this technology effectively.
-
This paper addresses the difficulty in adjusting late-stage production in waterflooded reservoirs and proposes an integrated well-network-design mode for carbon-dioxide enhanced oil recovery and storage.
