HSE & Sustainability
The agency’s administrator said the program “does nothing to improve air quality.”
The project is expected to recover up to 300 MMscf/D of flared gas. Plans call for the recovered gas to be converted into treated dry gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and condensate for domestic use and export.
This research aims to harness the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning and large language models, to develop a comprehensive system for detecting and explaining oil spills.

E&B Natural Resources Management, an independent oil and gas company based in California, is investing in solar electricity to help run its oil production activities in two counties. E&B’s solar initiative will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from the two projects. -
Management of produced water is driving subtle yet potentially consequential changes in certain regions. Contributing factors for seismicity and well pressurization, while different, share some elements. By assessing these common elements, partial risk profiles for both conditions can be assessed.

Is the adoption of sustainability practices a form of strategic differentiation that can lead to superior financial performance? Or, is it a strategic necessity that can ensure corporate survival but not necessarily outperformance?

Three papers selected from 2018 SPE ATCE look at the challenges and approaches to the treatment of increasing volumes of produced water.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in crude oil can be released to the atmosphere from storage tanks, waste waters, and equipment leaks. A pilot-scale sequential biotrickling/biofiltration unit was designed and tested for removal of VOCs from a wastewater sump.

Sourcing water for hydraulic fracturing, and disposing of produced water, are constraints and significant cost items in the Permian Basin. Some of the produced water can be treated and reused by using a water life cycle approach..
-
Finding water for hydraulic fracturing and then finding a use for it when it flows back are critical engineering problems to solve in the booming Permian Basin.

Culture, not controls, will drive the next phase of industry safety evolution, said presenters at a recent HSE conference.
