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.

Consulting and engineering firm Wood is leading a joint industry partnership to create industry guidelines for carbon dioxide specifications to accelerate sustainable carbon capture, use, and storage projects. -
The financial losses come from reduced productivity, high employee turnover, or the loss of skilled labor as a direct result of unmanaged mental health challenges.
-
The presence of marine mammals during offshore infrastructure work is a major environmental concern. To safeguard species and their natural habitats, more and more local legislation imposes a cap on sound levels from offshore activities.
-
The increase in flaring emissions was led by operations in the Middle East, Africa, and Russia.
-
The $220-million carbon capture and storage project is one of the world's largest, with a nameplate injection capacity of 1.7 mtpa.
-
The agreement with state officials comes more than 3 years after the supermajor proposed building the world's largest carbon storage hub offshore the Houston area.
-
DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook 2024 projects continued growth in solar; slower growth in wind; and declines in coal, oil, and gas, while hydrogen and carbon capture projects are struggling.
-
Radioactive elements occur naturally at low levels in oil and gas basins. As oil and gas is extracted, these elements can accumulate in infrastructure. Now, scientists in Australia are investigating the toxicity of different radiation doses to marine organisms.
-
Occidental’s 1PointFive will receive up to $500 million from the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations for the carbon-capture facility in south Texas.
-
The Ravenna CCS project will capture, transport, and store carbon-dioxide emissions from Eni’s natural gas treatment plant in Casalborsetti, Italy, estimated to be approximately 25,000 tonnes per year.
