Australia must insist on full removal when ExxonMobil decommissions the offshore project, the Wilderness Society has said.
-
Hull fouling is a huge problem and is estimated to account for 9% of the global fleet’s fuel consumption every year. Initial theoretical, laboratory, and land-based tests supported by independent experts have led to promising results showing that ultrasound can prevent biofouling.

This paper describes a project in the heavy oil Captain field in the UK sector of the North Sea in which reduced environmental impact dovetails with improved economics.
-
The road to a low-carbon world is paved with more than just shiny new facilities and the promise to deliver impressive CO₂ reductions from the atmosphere. Without the software to site, monitor, and maintain those facilities, the drive for net zero would be stuck in neutral.
-
Technology uptake aimed at optimizing resources, delivering consistency, and augmenting what humans can do.
-
This study explores the potential of locally produced surfactants for enhanced oil recovery in high-temperature and high-salinity reservoir environments.
-
This paper aims to close some of the many knowledge gaps that exist in the field of drilling CO₂ storage wells, a task that is expected to involve handling an influx of CO₂ into the drilling fluid.
