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 an approach for safe, efficient, and cost-effective legacy well reabandonment.
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 paper discusses a study that aimed to accelerate the conversion of CO2 and methane through biological means. -
This paper examines the performance of the macroalga Macrocystis pyrifera in thermal conversion through pyrolysis as a potential biomass for hydrogen production.
-
This paper describes the material selection methodology and corrosion studies performed in a CO2 sequestration project to optimize well costs and improve overall project economics without jeopardizing the CO2-injector-well integrity.

Because the basics of CCS and CCUS are mostly familiar to a large part of the readership, I am choosing to bring to your attention the summary of those articles that are devoted to approaches other than or beyond CCS, even if they have to climb further on the development ladder. These include bio-based approaches, geothermal, and use of hydrogen as a substitute fuel.

SPE Journal is now accepting papers for a new special issue focused on lower-carbon prospects of petroleum engineering. Submissions are invited about novel research on petroleum engineering aspects of lower-carbon energy production, emphasizing subsurface technologies related to CCUS, geothermal energy, subsurface hydrogen, offshore energy facilities, and other lower-…
