HSE & Sustainability
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.

Geoscientist Emer Caslin had watched the topics of sustainability and the climate crisis creep in to her work life over the years. Recently, driven by a life-long passion, she took a step back from her career to focus on sustainability, particularly in the oil and gas industry. In this column, which was first presented by Schlumberger, she shares what she learned.
