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.

The financial losses come from reduced productivity, high employee turnover, or the loss of skilled labor as a direct result of unmanaged mental health challenges.
-
The presence of marine mammals during offshore infrastructure work is a major environmental concern. To safeguard species and their natural habitats, more and more local legislation imposes a cap on sound levels from offshore activities.
-
The increase in flaring emissions was led by operations in the Middle East, Africa, and Russia.

The $220-million carbon capture and storage project is one of the world's largest, with a nameplate injection capacity of 1.7 mtpa.
-
The agreement with state officials comes more than 3 years after the supermajor proposed building the world's largest carbon storage hub offshore the Houston area.
-
DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook 2024 projects continued growth in solar; slower growth in wind; and declines in coal, oil, and gas, while hydrogen and carbon capture projects are struggling.
