HSE & Sustainability
The newly named MTS brings together the full methane ecosystem, end to end—connecting technology, data, operations, and assurance across upstream, midstream, and beyond.
Monitoring on the ground is helping the industry shift from best estimates to hard data so it can bring the true emissions profile into focus.
Ongoing seismicity concerns and orphan well risks are pushing operators and regulators to explore alternatives for managing produced water.
-
The environmental impact statement is a required step before another lease sale can be held in the Gulf of Mexico, a move welcomed by the oil and gas industry. -
Undocumented orphaned wells pose hazards to both the environment and the climate. Scientists are building modern tools to help locate, assess, and pave the way for ultimately plugging these forgotten relics.
-
The upstream oil and gas sector alone could cut as much as 4% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, according to a report from McKinsey. But this will take worldwide cooperation among industry players and capital investors.
-
This paper presents a method of geomechanical-risk screening and gives examples of its positive effect on the company’s safety standards through implementation of integrated solutions to prevent or mitigate the risks.
-
Sharing state-of-the-art design and troubleshooting methods, the workshop identified future separation needs and gap statements and proposed how to close the gaps.
-
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.
-
This work investigates a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to acidification for sheen control.
