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.

Wearable devices can notify workers of hazards, provide useful safety data to employers, and improve safety on the worksite. -
The tool, called the Field Analysis of Silica Tool, works with commercially available Fourier-transform infrared analyzers to determine a worker’s exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust, providing detailed results immediately following a worker’s shift.

Colorado's Proposition 112 would increase the minimum distance required between new oil and gas wells and homes, schools, and other designated areas to 2,500 ft—more than twice the current required distance — in an effort to protect public health.
-
A new study offers answers to questions that have puzzled policymakers, researchers,and regulatory agencies for decades: How much methane is being emitted from natural gas operations across the US? And why have different estimation methods seemed to disagree?
-
Some of these technologies can be deployed now, but additional ones are needed to meet climate goals.
-
Engineers from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute have demonstrated a new use for the institute's long-range autonomous underwater vehicles—detecting and tracking oil spills.
-
Remotely measuring the activity of extractive industries in conflict-affected areas that do not have reliable administrative data can support a broad range of public policy and decisions and military operations.
