This article from the SPE Methane Technical Section features Arvind Ravikumar of the University of Texas at Austin and focuses on how the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab is integrating satellite observations, facility-level measurements, operational data, and emissions inventories into more credible methane accounting for oil and gas systems.
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.
This work describes a study in which distributed data parallel training, paired with a node-local caching pipeline, enabled efficient multigraphics-processing-unit scaling for a CO₂-storage graph-neural-network surrogate while maintaining generalization.

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. -
Applications are open for the funding, which comes from the Inflation Reduction Act, for projects that help monitor, measure, quantify, and reduce methane emissions.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) recently conducted an inspection at the South Fork Wind project, the bureau’s first inspection of an operational offshore wind turbine in US waters.
-
This paper presents efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and increase energy efficiency through the use of a real-time monitoring tool on exploration and production operated assets.
-
The Permian’s produced-water challenge presents an opportunity for innovation to pave the way toward a more sustainable future for the industry.
-
The exercise at Vineyard Wind’s Marine Coordination Center successfully evaluated Vineyard Wind’s ability to activate an incident management team and carry out the procedures in their approved oil spill response plans.
-
The objective of this study is to use expired medications as green corrosion inhibitors that can be used during stimulation treatments. Because the medications are expired and not fit for human consumption, the cost is inherently low.
-
A survey conducted by Unite the Union had 75% of respondents reply that they would never fly in an Airbus Super Puma helicopter amid safety concerns.
-
Using autonomous systems creates efficiencies, but, even more critically, it also allows engineers to be engineers.
-
This article explores the implementation of artificial intelligence vision for leak monitoring automation in the oil and gas industry and its role in improving safety standards, operational efficiency, and environmental performance.
