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.
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 paper presents an approach for safe, efficient, and cost-effective legacy well reabandonment.

This paper presents an evaluation of geopolymer cementing for use in oil and gas wells, specifically in the primary cementing of liner strings in the Permian Basin. -
The health, safety, and environment (HSE) discipline is one of the broadest in SPE, from the perspectives of both its scope and its cross-discipline impact. As JPT celebrates 75 years, former HSE Technical Director Roland Moreau examines some of the defining moments in the history of HSE in the industry, the growth of the discipline, and the challenges it still faces.

At COP28, more than 50 oil and gas companies took a historic step toward decarbonization by launching the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter. This article explores the importance of this effort, the opportunities available to the industry to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and the key technologies needed to achieve the net-zero goal.

In 2022, Hess and the government of Guyana announced an agreement for the company to purchase 37.5 million REDD+ carbon credits directly from the government, one of the largest private-sector forest preservation agreements in the world. This paper explores the analysis of decarbonization pathways, voluntary carbon markets, and individual carbon offset projects that ul…
