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.

Many oil and gas companies have been at the forefront of the development of sustainability reporting in recent years, but expectations of greater transparency are now filtering down to mid-sized and smaller players. -
Experts say that more than a decade of research has made it clear that current setback distances, in states where they exist, are inadequate to protect public health. Now, political pressure to push oil and gas wells about half a mile from homes and other buildings is peaking across the country.

As companies begin to embrace the concepts of digitalization and big data, the main challenge remains: How do we make a step change in reducing human error in heavily paper-based operating and maintenance procedures?
-
Working from home has become the new normal, but the oil and gas industry is looking at safety measures and innovations in preparation for bringing back its remote workforce.

The 10,000 mirrors arrayed around the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy plant are striking and seem to suggest the concept is on a path to efficient and reliable renewable energy. But, recently, the plant’s operator threw in the towel and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. So, what went wrong?
