This paper proposes a shift in the timing of risk modeling to much further back within the job lifecycle, recognizing each function’s role in the mitigation of risk.
This article from the SPE Methane Technical Section features Arvind Ravikumar of the University of Texas at Austin and focuses on how the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab is integrating satellite observations, facility-level measurements, operational data, and emissions inventories into more credible methane accounting for oil and gas systems.
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.

The carbon capture and storage system is expected to transport and store up to 680,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year in Louisiana. -
This study recommends favoring the combustion of ammonia over hydrogen for the purpose of reducing CO₂ and nitrogen emissions.

Emissions management remains an active and crucial research area in the oil and gas industry. It is a broad research category spanning several different directions. The papers of the past year demonstrate the rich diversity of ideas and analytical techniques used for tackling different research questions in this space.

This paper focuses on developing a model that can be used in an automated, end-to-end flare-smoke detection, alert, and distribution-control solution that leverages existing flare closed-circuit television cameras at manufacturing facilities.
-
This study explores the feasibility of implementing in-situ carbon dioxide recycling for sequestration as a fit-for-purpose developmental strategy for a Malaysian gas field characterized by an initial carbon-dioxide content of approximately 60%.
-
With artificial intelligence and online training both on the rise, it's crucial to ensure workers and companies treat safety as more than a box-checking exercise.
-
The technology to desalinate and reuse produced water for cooling AI data centers in the Permian Basin exists, but addressing cost challenges remains critical to widespread adoption.
-
Real-time wellhead monitoring aims to help Romania meet new EU methane emission regulations.
-
The supermajor’s Energy Outlook 2025 suggests geopolitical fragmentation could tilt the balance of the energy trilemma toward energy security and away from sustainability.
-
Iraq’s Gas Growth Integrated Project aims to increase electricity generation by capturing flare gas collected from three southern oil fields. A desalination project will use treated seawater to maintain well pressures.
