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.

Oil and gas companies play important roles in the global push for energy security and carbon reduction. Here’s how they can excel at both. -
The authors of this paper describe a three-way coupled modeling approach that integrates dynamic, geochemistry, and geomechanics models to obtain cumulative effects of all three changes to evaluate future carbon dioxide storage.
-
The authors of this paper investigate the risk of containment loss for a leaking well using a 1-sq-mile section of the Denver-Julesburg Basin.
-
This study evaluates well integrity and CO2-leakage risk in wells penetrating a CO2 storage reservoir in Malaysia.

Before 2012, water management for unconventional oil and gas plays was in its infancy and was trying to keep up with operations. Today, many of the initial challenges have been resolved but new challenges persist. What does the future hold for water in the US onshore unconventional plays?
-
This paper presents results from evaluating the rate of thermal energy that can be extracted under various completion scenarios in end-of-life oil and gas wells using a transient flow simulator.
-
This paper outlines one of the first efforts by a major oil and gas company to build a net exporting, behind-the-meter solar photovoltaic plant to lower the operating costs and carbon intensity of a large, mature oil and gas field.

Denbury acquires carbon-storage land in the South, Baker Hughes forms a new wells consortium, and Chevron and BP expand their investments. Hydrogen takes center stage across the globe, while the international energy transition makes strides toward its goals.
-
Roughly 190 nations, aiming to halt a dangerous decline in biodiversity, agreed to preserve 30% of the planet’s land and seas. The United States is not officially a participant.

There are two principles that should guide efforts to rebuild Ukraine’s energy system: ensuring energy security and independence and deepening the connection and economic relationship between Ukraine and the European Union. To accomplish both, Ukraine should develop its potential renewable energy resources.
