SPE Journal is seeking submissions for a special issue on sustainable enhanced oil recovery (EOR), highlighting innovations that boost oil recovery while reducing CO2 emissions and environmental impact. The Call for Papers opens on 15 October 2026.
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.

The complete paper examines the decision to use hydrogen-sulfide- (H2S) removal technology, the cost of operation, and the unit’s availability over its lifetime.
-
In the complete paper, the authors seek to understand the effect of triazine on the electrochemical response of a carbon-steel surface in a mixed-gas system.
-
This paper describes studies that confirm that enzyme-based, environmentally preferable chemistries can be used to break polymers and mitigate H2S in various systems.

The oil and gas sector has always been inherently risky. No matter how far mitigating efforts go or by how much technology improves, it is unlikely that risk will be removed entirely anytime soon. That being said, the sector has made huge strides in recent years to better protect those who serve it.

Williams Companies announced a near-term goal of a 56% absolute reduction from 2005 levels in greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030, aiming for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Why is this significant, and where can emissions be mitigated in the midstream natural-gas gathering and boosting segment?
