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.

The 25 May death of George Floyd, a black man, at the hands of Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, sparked national and international protests—and the oil and natural gas industry was not immune to the calls for social change. -
Apache, Qatar, and Shell clinch best discovery, best new venturer, and energy transition leader.
-
This paper will discuss the importance of proactive operator monitoring (POM) as a safety barrier, explore some of the mechanisms by which monitoring can be defeated or degraded, and consider the kind of safeguards that might need to be put in place to prevent such degradation.

Satelytics, a US-based geospatial analytics software startup, will receive $5 million from BP Ventures to develop its methane-detection technology and then scale its applications across the oil and gas sector.

Despite the global downturn, the long-term transition to net zero presents a major opportunity to create new multibillion industries based around the North Sea. Cross-sector collaboration and major state/private sector intervention, together with strong leadership, will be key.
-
With their gee-whiz—albeit artificial—intelligence, robots may be the industry’s answer to jobs deemed dangerous, dirty, distant, or dull.

This paper presents novel approaches to carbon abatement using petroleum that have a strong chance to succeed in fulfilling technological and economic goals.
-
Carbon dioxide (CO2) waterless fracturing uses liquid CO2 to replace water as the fracturing fluid in reservoir stimulation. The continuity and reliability of the blender are key factors determining performance of the operation.
-
The complete paper describes an advanced Rankine cycle process-based system that converts waste heat into usable electrical power to improve the efficiency of gas-compression stations on gas-production platforms and pipelines.

Two technologies that may play a part in the decarbonization of the UK energy business are carbon capture, use, and storage and the use of hydrogen for energy transportation and storage. This approach builds on the UK’s gas-network infrastructure, which can be repurposed to avoid becoming stranded.
