HSE & Sustainability
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.
This paper reviews a proof-of-concept project in which surplus casing pipes were used in the fabrication of purposefully designed artificial reef structures for the enhancement of biodiversity and commercial fisheries.
Sustainable energy continues to grow as a focus for reliable, affordable, and secure energy as seen from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Three primary areas are being reported on heavily: carbon use for enhanced oil recovery, geological hydrogen discovery, and critical minerals from the subsurface.
-
Government grants and tax incentives will drive carbon capture, storage, and/or utilization projects in the next decade as the industry seeks profitable business model. -
The ruling said the US Department of Energy must resume reviewing permits for domestic LNG export projects.
-
Houston-based enhanced geothermal systems pioneer uses fracturing and other oil and gas technologies to stabilize power grids with zero-carbon renewable energy that doesn’t depend on the weather.
-
This paper proposes two new methods of accelerating the solidification (or mineralization) of CO2 in subsurface conditions, thus accelerating the cycle of the CO2 storage process.
-
The aim of this study is to address and discuss the reservoir engineering aspects of geological hydrogen storage.
-
This paper examines the shortfalls of current CO2 capture and storage measures and their future within the context of increasing global consumption of fossil fuels.
-
Despite more than 3 decades of intense focus on emissions issues, global emissions have only increased instead of going down. It’s imperative to question the efficacy, premises, practicality, and overlooked hurdles of current approaches.
-
This study describes a technique combining borehole acoustic reflection imaging with production logging in a horizontal well experiencing high water cut with the aim of enabling a mitigation plan.
-
Last month in North Dakota, over coffee and kuchen, my friend Dick shared his challenges with vague offers for leasing his pore space. As legal rulings and tax credits complicate the landscape, landowners face a murky world of deals. How can a proposed deal be determined as good or bad?
-
A seismic prediction model is developed and presented in a case study to simulate the magnitude and timing of triggered seismic events with the intent to manage and mitigate environmental impacts resulting from induced seismicity during subsurface development activities.
