Satellite data show nearly 45,000 methane plumes worldwide in the first quarter, triple the number from a year earlier.
The publication highlights the role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the energy transition and how the oil and gas industry can support the uptake of CCS technologies and presents case studies from Ipieca members.
A resilience-based approach to safety was the focus of a panel of experts at the 2025 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition in Houston.
-
The authors of this paper discuss how intelligent completions in the Gulf of Mexico have allowed for increased production, reduction in operating expenses, enhanced overall reservoir recovery, and improved safety and environmental performance. -
At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water.
-
The paper aims to address the challenges and opportunities in managing produced water and its contaminants in the petroleum industry.
-
The industry no longer considers the water as only a logistical problem. Now, it is a front-and-center component of any life-cycle planning.
-
This paper presents the operator’s learnings in evaluating the routine of a floating production, storage, and offloading asset crew to identify scenarios for the application of robotics in day-to-day offshore activities.
-
This paper describes the development of guidelines to determine the most suitable corrosion-resistant alloys for downhole injection equipment in wells for carbon capture and storage and carbon capture, use, and storage.
-
This paper examines how data-science-driven work practices can result in substantial reductions in methane emissions compared with other leak-detection and -repair methods.
-
This paper examines the economics of carbon capture, usage, and storage projects, either standalone or in conjunction with large offshore gas projects, in Denmark, Indonesia, and Australia.
-
DNV has certified the feasibility of ADNOC’s West Aquifer carbon dioxide storage site in the UAE, marking a significant milestone in the Middle East’s carbon capture and storage efforts.
-
The plan calls for developing a gas field, CCUS, and onshore compression, with first production expected in 2028.
