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.

Rapid scale-up of CCUS projects is critical to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. -
Offshore wind makes up less than 1% of the current energy mix, but analysts have it pegged as a potential trillion-dollar business in the near future. That growth presents an opportunity for operators to reduce costs and their carbon footprint through the electrification of their offshore platforms.

With at least 600,000 people killed or disabled each year, snakebites are a serious public health concern. For projects in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the oil and gas industry needs to consider the risks to workers and its responsibility to support communities against this silent killer.
-
During the past decade, industries have made tremendous efforts in developing robust and effective systems in health, safety, and environment. Now, companies are called on to focus on process safety as well.

Large-scale subsea infrastructure is a feature of the world’s territorial seas, with much of it associated with oil and gas. Research on fish and fisheries interacting with subsea infrastructure, however, has been limited. This paper presents research on fish species associated with pipelines.
