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.

The aim of this study is to address and discuss the reservoir engineering aspects of geological hydrogen storage. -
This paper examines the shortfalls of current CO2 capture and storage measures and their future within the context of increasing global consumption of fossil fuels.

Last month in North Dakota, over coffee and kuchen, my friend Dick shared his challenges with vague offers for leasing his pore space. As legal rulings and tax credits complicate the landscape, landowners face a murky world of deals. How can a proposed deal be determined as good or bad?
-
Despite more than 3 decades of intense focus on emissions issues, global emissions have only increased instead of going down. It’s imperative to question the efficacy, premises, practicality, and overlooked hurdles of current approaches.

A seismic prediction model is developed and presented in a case study to simulate the magnitude and timing of triggered seismic events with the intent to manage and mitigate environmental impacts resulting from induced seismicity during subsurface development activities.
-
Applications are open for the funding, which comes from the Inflation Reduction Act, for projects that help monitor, measure, quantify, and reduce methane emissions.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) recently conducted an inspection at the South Fork Wind project, the bureau’s first inspection of an operational offshore wind turbine in US waters.
