Propelling a proposed CCS project from the drawing board to first carbon storage requires overcoming several hurdles.
The 2025 report confirms for the second year that the Appalachian Basin has the lowest methane intensity of any major oil and gas basin in the US.
The North Sea Transition Authority has advanced the UK’s plans for carbon storage by approving the drilling of a proposed appraisal well off the coast of Teesside.

A string of high-potential fires in the Gulf of Mexico leads to inspections and recommendations to improve safety. -
An agent-based model is developed and used to predict COVID-19 spread within living quarters of an offshore oil and gas platform.

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.
