HSE & Sustainability
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.
Emissions management covers a wide array of topics such as carbon capture, use, and storage; emissions monitoring; flare management; methods to improve operational efficiency; carbon accounting; and the effect of emissions management on global and local economics. The papers published in the past year span all these subcategories.
This study explores the carbon-capture and mineralization potential of ultramafic rock powders when exposed to flue gases generated from combustion of crude oil and mesquite-derived charcoal.
-
This study explores the potential of locally produced surfactants for enhanced oil recovery in high-temperature and high-salinity reservoir environments. -
This paper aims to close some of the many knowledge gaps that exist in the field of drilling CO₂ storage wells, a task that is expected to involve handling an influx of CO₂ into the drilling fluid.
-
This paper describes a polymer-injection pilot in the Chichimene heavy oil field in Colombia.
-
The road to a low-carbon world is paved with more than just shiny new facilities and the promise to deliver impressive CO₂ reductions from the atmosphere. Without the software to site, monitor, and maintain those facilities, the drive for net zero would be stuck in neutral.
-
Technology uptake aimed at optimizing resources, delivering consistency, and augmenting what humans can do.
-
This paper describes a project in the heavy oil Captain field in the UK sector of the North Sea in which reduced environmental impact dovetails with improved economics.
-
The chair of the Texas Railroad Commission is defending her seat this November at a time when the state’s oil and gas industry is booming but the agency that regulates it is facing criticism over safety concerns.
-
But no one appears really happy with the cumulative impact rules lauded by the Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission as “a big step forward.”
-
Consulting and engineering firm Wood is leading a joint industry partnership to create industry guidelines for carbon dioxide specifications to accelerate sustainable carbon capture, use, and storage projects.
-
The financial losses come from reduced productivity, high employee turnover, or the loss of skilled labor as a direct result of unmanaged mental health challenges.
