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.

Ranchers and regulators are contending with uncontrolled leaks from thousands of abandoned oil and gas sites that could render some land “functionally uninhabitable.” -
The Environmental Protection Agency has underestimated methane emissions caused by oil and gas production by as much as 76%, according to research published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres.

Alumina Energy, Ionada, Parasanti, and SurgePower Materials will join the industrial scaling program at Halliburton Labs in Houston.
-
While Schlumberger, Halliburton, and Baker Hughes focus their legacy technology and service portfolios on driving up efficiency, driving down cost, and making current sources of energy less carbon intensive, they diverge on their approaches to scaling up development and deployment of breakthrough clean energy technologies.
-
Natural gas is produced from the ground now, but maybe not forever.
-
The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) cameras on marine vessels is planned to embrace a smarter automated analytic response and reporting culture, which, in turn, is expected to lead to increased safety oversight of critical offshore operations in areas that have been determined to have a lack of physical safety coverage.
-
The newly released document outlines the main types of tests available and examines approaches to isolation and quarantine for suspected and confirmed cases of COVID-19 in oil and gas industry workplaces.
-
The authors write that the road to decarbonization will involve several technologies working in concert, not the use of only one at the expense of others.
-
The author shows that renewable energies are best used in replacing fossil fuels in the power sector, where it has the most effect in reducing CO2 emissions.

A 2-year study of a formation used for saltwater disposal in the Bakken may hold promise of decreasing the pressurization of the formation and increasing the reuse of the briny produced water.
