HSE & Sustainability
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 discusses a study that aimed to accelerate the conversion of CO2 and methane through biological means. -
This paper examines the performance of the macroalga Macrocystis pyrifera in thermal conversion through pyrolysis as a potential biomass for hydrogen production.
-
Because the basics of CCS and CCUS are mostly familiar to a large part of the readership, I am choosing to bring to your attention the summary of those articles that are devoted to approaches other than or beyond CCS, even if they have to climb further on the development ladder. These include bio-based approaches, geothermal, and use of hydrogen as a substitute fuel.

This paper discusses an effort to prevent permanent loss of mangrove habitats using a long-term restoration strategy based on the transplantation of fertilized seedlings produced at mangrove nurseries in partnership with local communities.
-
This study catalogs global gas/oil ratio data to identify currently produced light crude oils that could be rendered carbon neutral through the direct-air-capture mechanism.
-
This paper describes the material selection methodology and corrosion studies performed in a CO2 sequestration project to optimize well costs and improve overall project economics without jeopardizing the CO2-injector-well integrity.

A decade ago, SPE defined key R&D and technology challenges for the industry. To address the more uncertain environment of the 2020s and beyond, we have updated the grand challenges via a January 2023 SPE workshop.
-
Research team pushes toward a framework for managing millions of abandoned oil and gas wells.
-
This paper describes a simple and intuitive digital health, safety, and environment (HSE) application designed to raise awareness of occupational health and safety and sustainably promote responsible worker behavior.
