Modeling solubility trapping at reservoir scale remains a key challenge for carbon storage projects. This study introduces a novel sub-grid convective mixing model, implemented in the Open Porous Media Flow simulator and applied to the SPE11 benchmark, that enables accurate prediction of carbon dioxide dissolution trapping in geological storage using computationally e…
SPE’s newly renamed Safety Technical Section expands the reach of human factors by integrating safety, risk management, and system resilience expertise while preserving dedicated leadership and technical focus.
As drilling operations become increasingly digital, computer vision is emerging as a continuous safety layer that complements, not replaces, established safety practices. The challenge is no longer whether artificial intelligence can detect hazards, but how operators should deploy, integrate, and govern these systems to improve safety without adding operational comple…

Australia’s H2Perth blue and green hybrid hydrogen project is expected to benefit from carbon credits from the offshore Bonaparte carbon storage facility where Inpex and TotalEnergies are drilling appraisal wells together with Woodside. -
The carbon capture and storage system is expected to transport and store up to 680,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year in Louisiana.

Emissions management remains an active and crucial research area in the oil and gas industry. It is a broad research category spanning several different directions. The papers of the past year demonstrate the rich diversity of ideas and analytical techniques used for tackling different research questions in this space.
