Block Energy announced the completion of its carbon capture and storage pilot study, confirming the viability of the field for permanent carbon storage.
DNV awarded the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company a storage certificate at the endorsement stage for its West Aquifer site.
Four former gas-producing wells have been converted into injection wells and are now preparing to receive carbon dioxide for storage.

DNV GL has published a paper to support the safe use of artificial intelligence. The paper asserts that data-driven models alone may not be sufficient to ensure safety and calls for a combination of data and causal models to mitigate risk. -
Though many people understand that employers have workplace responsibilities regarding their employees' health and safety, far fewer understand that the employees also have certain legal obligations they must meet.
-
Three companies are collaborating to develop the equipment needed to make LNG a feasible alternative fuel for ship owners and operators.

Even with the wealth of experience already in place within the oil and gas industry, the obstacles to advancing CCS to the forefront of greenhouse gas mitigation technologies remain significant.
-
Each year, six technical papers are selected to give an overview of the state of the health, safety, and environment discipline in the oil and gas industry. Synopses of the papers are presented here with links to the complete papers and suggestions for further reading.
-
The paper discusses the main factors affecting CO2 corrosion, provides an assessment of what to look for in major equipment, and details recommended material of construction and corrosion mitigation/control methods.
-
A pilot project demonstrates that facilities design plays an important role in providing sources of CO2 for the gas-handling process for injection into a carbonate formation as a tertiary recovery mechanism.
-
Structures in the ocean made by people, such as oil and gas rigs, shipwrecks, or renewable energy devices, could help protect sea creatures under threat from human pressure and climate change, according to a study in Scientific Reports.
-
Natural gas, coupled with carbon capture and storage (CCS), could provide cheap and reliable energy in the long term and mitigate climate change. Gas-to-wire (GTW) generates electricity from natural gas at or near the field. This study applies an integrated GTW/CCS scheme to a gas-production field.
-
Collaboration is critical to achieving recognition of the scope and value of carbon capture and storage and achieving acceptance for specific projects.
