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 authors of this paper discuss an integrated cloud-based work flow aimed at evaluating the cost-effectiveness of adopting geothermal production in low- to medium-enthalpy systems. -
This paper provides a work flow based on research in two methodologies to estimate formation-water salinity, enhancing the quality of saturation evaluation for quick decision-making during logging operations.
-
This paper presents field cases of a rigless wireline logging technique that accurately locates sources of water production in cased wells with standalone sand screens in an offshore field in the Caspian Sea.
-
This paper presents case studies of how produced-water salinity data was used to transform the performance of two oil-producing fields in Nigeria.
-
The three papers chosen for publication share different approaches to chemically managing high-salinity produced water through commercially viable approaches. The identification of processes to treat high salinity levels and the approaches to alter and control the process make the papers not only good for discussion but also practical for all players, big and small.
-
The produced water conundrum in the Permian Basin will be solved by a mix of recycling, disposal, and future breakthroughs in technology currently being studied.
-
The Seaeye Falcon underwater robot is being used in the decommissioning and repurposing of an oil rig offshore Angola.
-
The power from the first turbine to come online will be used to help run the Gullfaks A platform in the North Sea. Seven of the 11 turbines in the field are expected to begin producing power within a year.
-
The new listing aims to prevent further loss of habitat for the flamboyant, stocky birds, which have drastically dwindled in population.

This research addresses the bottlenecks experienced in supply-chain management (SCM) in an African hydrocarbon company. These bottlenecks slow down processes and make the procedures tedious, leading to operational inefficiencies. This paper discusses the security of the SCM data and the overall automation of the procurement value chain, providing transparency to the s…
