The Pawnee Carbon Sequestration Project, which would use a repurposed well, is planned to capture and store up to 400,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, with first injection targeted for early 2027.
DNV notes that energy and industrial process-related carbon emissions will have dropped by 2050 by only 44% from today’s level, not even halfway to the net-zero pledge envisioned by the Paris climate agreement.
SPE's new Asset Integrity Technical Section brings together industry experts to advance best practices in reliability engineering, asset integrity, risk reduction, and infrastructure performance. The global community will focus on the safe, reliable, and sustainable operation of energy assets across both traditional and emerging energy sectors.

One of the main reasons software implementations fail is because the scale of the project was too much from the outset. -
The Los Angeles City Council voted to ban new oil and gas wells in the country’s second most populous city and phase out existing wells over a period of 5 years.

In-situ extraction of heavily sulfured oil by use of steam injection comes with a high risk of hydrogen-sulfide production resulting from aquathermolysis reactions. This could lead to casualties, environment damage, and corrosion of surface facilities and wells. Also, a strong need exists to understand aquathermolysis reactions and to forecast the generation of acid g…

The study assessed the CO2 footprint and NO2 emissions for different drill-cuttings treatment alternatives. The values were then used to create an emissions calculator that can be applied to projects to clarify the actual potential for emissions reduction within the drilling-waste-management process.
