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 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.

The Railroad Commission of Texas is inspecting injection wells in the Gardendale Seismic Response Area where a magnitude 5.3 earthquake and multiple aftershocks struck. -
The optimization process presented in this paper gradually incorporates process control, digital twins, planning, scheduling, and blending for refiners.

Leveraging its existing natural gas interests, plus renewables potential in Egypt and Mauritania, BP is now factoring in Africa to realize its global ambitions as a hydrogen producer.
-
Barriers remain, but oil companies across the world are now in a position to reap big profits by capturing methane instead of flaring and venting it.
-
This device lets workers in noisy and windy environments hear through their bones without removing ear protection.
-
The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative says its members’ absolute upstream methane emissions were down 40% since 2017. That’s equivalent to taking more than 3 million cars off the road for a year.
-
Webinar will examine how human factors can help with implementing automation in the oil and gas industry.
-
In a 12-0 vote, the Los Angeles City Council approved an ordinance that will immediately ban new oil extraction and shut down existing operations within 20 years. The historic decision comes after years of complaints by residents about how pollution from nearby drilling has caused them health issues.
