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.

In this paper, the authors propose polymer-assisted water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection as an alternative method to reduce gas mobility while reducing the mobility of the aqueous phase and, consequently, improving WAG performance. -
The authors of this paper study the effect of solids particles on oil/water separators and on produced-water treatment.

A new kind of groupie is interested in the heavy metal band Metallica’s tour in Europe, including Shell, big-rig and electric vehicle manufacturers, and producers of hydrogen, biofuels, and LNG. It has less to do with the music than the alternative fuels keeping the buses rolling on the 2-month, 7,200-mile journey across nine countries.
