HSE & Sustainability
This paper presents an approach to the identification, selection, and implementation of initiatives for sustainable water management, withdrawal reduction, and water valorization.
This paper explores the application of a modular, high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor to a Very Large Crude Carrier-class floating production, storage, and offloading vessel.
This paper describes the potential of combined-cycle technology (use of a gas turbine and a steam turbine together to turn fuel into electricity) in offshore carbon-capture applications.

Coal states are questioning whether the Clean Air Act gave the EPA the power to create policy. -
A recent study led by environmental engineers at Rice University quantifies the effect of black carbon particles on health.

A lawsuit filed in the Bay Area represents a looming issue for thousands of idled oil and gas wells.
-
The two companies will work to retrofit nonproducing wells for geothermal production and scale GreenFire Energy’s closed-loop advanced geothermal systems.

How is it possible that, in the 30 years since the international oil and gas industry declared a commitment to eradicate the unthinkable, catastrophic events continued to occur—especially in light of so much evidence being on hand asserting overall HSE performance improvements? This paper addresses this clear conundrum and submits that there are essentially three prin…

Skyrocketing demand for the commodity has created a lithium deficit that could slow the pace of the energy transition. Industry is scrambling to find new sources by opening new mines or devising new technologies to extract lithium from brines, including brines found in produced water from oil and gas operations.

The paper presents the challenges faced and overcome while drilling and testing a high-pressure/high-temperature sour-gas well offshore in an environmentally sensitive environment.
-
Stunningly ambitious plans to create global carbon capture and storage that rivals the scale of today’s oil and gas production will require a host of technical skills to determine if it is even possible.

Pandemic gridlock, rerouting risk, and net-zero expectations are squeezing oilfield service companies into change.

Not so long ago, defining green energy was straightforward: renewables. It may not have been quite that simple, but developing agreed-upon definitions based on science has become much more complex and contentious.
