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.

Geothermal systems, which rely on extracting heat from deep within the Earth, face many of the same technical challenges that oil and gas operators have tackled for decades. Geothermal development can be advanced efficiently and economically by applying proven oil and gas technologies. -
This study highlights how the recovery and reuse of existing hydrocarbon infrastructure can contribute to the diffusion of district-heating projects that implement the principles of the circular economy.
-
The floating production, storage, and offloading vessel is the first in the world with a postcombustion carbon capture pilot system.
-
The companies have announced they will work together to integrate geothermal well engineering and project delivery globally.
-
A recent report from Wood Mackenzie highlights the role of natural gas in supporting renewables and reducing emissions.
-
A new study finds that, of the roughly 15 million tonnes of methane coming from onshore oil and gas activities in the continental US annually, 70% comes from smaller, dispersed sources emitting less than 100 kg of methane per hour and 30% of emissions are from sites releasing less than 10 kg per hour.

This paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of available research evaluating the influence of gamification on cognitive, motivational, and behavioral learning outcomes.
-
This article explores three key themes for the oil and gas sector: the evolution of methane regulation at the state and federal levels, a preliminary forecast of why and how methane regulation will continue, and practical ways the oil and gas sector can prepare for enhanced enforcement scrutiny.
-
The companies said they plan to work together on developing geopressured geothermal systems for low-carbon energy storage and geothermal power generation.
-
This paper presents collaborative initiatives instigated by of a global energy technology company with indigenous communities. The case studies presented in the paper have the goal of encouraging participation in the workforce as well as encouraging the development of environmental, sustainability, and educational programs.
