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 paper discusses the main factors affecting CO2 corrosion, provides an assessment of what to look for in major equipment, and details recommended material of construction and corrosion mitigation/control methods. -
Natural gas, coupled with carbon capture and storage (CCS), could provide cheap and reliable energy in the long term and mitigate climate change. Gas-to-wire (GTW) generates electricity from natural gas at or near the field. This study applies an integrated GTW/CCS scheme to a gas-production field.

Collaboration is critical to achieving recognition of the scope and value of carbon capture and storage and achieving acceptance for specific projects.

How can corporate trainers prepare employees for dangerous or extraordinary workplace scenarios? Virtual-reality technology offers immersive learning opportunities for an increasingly broad range of experiences.
-
The biggest problem is not in the everyday operation or use of tools or machinery, no matter how dangerous they may be. It’s when plans veer away from the day-to-day routine that’s the biggest problem.
