This paper presents an approach to the identification, selection, and implementation of initiatives for sustainable water management, withdrawal reduction, and water valorization.
This paper presents an experiment investigating dissolution of basaltic primary minerals and conditions favorable for secondary phase formation under deep subsurface storage conditions.
This study aims to investigate the efficacy of chemical additives strontium chloride and barium hydroxide in accelerating CO₂ trapping mechanisms, their effect on dissolution of carbonate-bearing minerals, and resulting poroelastic changes in the host rock.

This paper presents a method of geomechanical-risk screening and gives examples of its positive effect on the company’s safety standards through implementation of integrated solutions to prevent or mitigate the risks.
-
Sharing state-of-the-art design and troubleshooting methods, the workshop identified future separation needs and gap statements and proposed how to close the gaps.

At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water.
-
This work investigates a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to acidification for sheen control.
-
The authors of this paper discuss how intelligent completions in the Gulf of Mexico have allowed for increased production, reduction in operating expenses, enhanced overall reservoir recovery, and improved safety and environmental performance.
-
The paper aims to address the challenges and opportunities in managing produced water and its contaminants in the petroleum industry.
