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 authors present an efficient workflow using an embedded discrete fracture model to simulate carbon-dioxide flow by use of conductive faults. -
This study concludes that it is relatively easy to generate enhanced hydrogen in the laboratory during injection of high-pH aqueous solution through a pack of olivine sand.
-
This paper provides guidelines for thermal modeling for carbon capture and storage projects in a depleted gas field.
-
The authors of this paper present a workflow designed to achieve maximum integration between analytical and modeling activities in carbon capture and storage projects.

Decarbonation has maintained its attraction, as observed from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Regarding CCS, challenges have been addressed through various techniques, including laboratory experiments; modeling studies; and field-scale application testing, monitoring, and risk assessment; as well as value chain and economic analysis.

Shell became the first international company to operate producing fields offshore Brazil and the first to navigate the country’s complex and detailed decommissioning permitting process, which involved extensive environmental assessments, regulatory approvals, and coordinated stakeholder engagement.
-
Unlike traditional inspection methods, distributed fiber-optic sensing offers continuous, real-time monitoring capabilities, allowing for early detection and response to potential leaks, which is especially crucial in remote or inaccessible locations.
-
The SPE Reservoir Technical Discipline and Advisory Committee invite their Reservoir members worldwide to participate in a new survey aimed at assessing the current state of reservoir engineering across industry and academia. Deadline is 21 July 2025.
