Winners of Alberta's Drilling Technology Challenge cover a range of technologies from robotics to enhance drilling rig safety to AI-enabled energy management, downhole sensing, well navigation, hybrid power systems, and geothermal energy.
Located along the North Sea, the Humber is expected to play a central role in the UK’s effort to achieve a net-zero emissions status by 2050.
This article addresses the challenges of managing water-soluble organics (WSOs) in offshore produced water. It provides a brief discussion of the chemistry, along with strategies and technologies that can be used to manage WSO levels in produced water, thus facilitating compliance with regulatory overboard water-quality guidelines.

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 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.
-
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.
