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.
This paper presents an approach for safe, efficient, and cost-effective legacy well reabandonment.

Victories by climate activists targeting Shell and Exxon Mobil have packed a strong punch. What does this foretell for the next round in the climate debate? -
A Dutch court ruled on 26 May that Royal Dutch Shell must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 45% by 2030, based on 2019 levels.

In the original grant application for renewable desalination, the startup mentioned solar thermal, but Gary Katz had originally thought industrial waste heat energy would be the ideal source. But, as he noted ruefully, “As a startup, you have to pivot to what the market will support."

Many countries allow controlled discharge of drill cuttings to the marine environment, provided that operators comply with regulations designed to address potential environmental impacts. A new document released by the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers provides information on the potential environmental and nonwater-quality effects of controlled drill…
