The North Sea Transition Authority said it expects interest in carbon storage to grow after UK’s second licensing round.
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 emissions intensity of production is expected to decline further because of the continued shift toward newer and more productive operations in the deep water and other factors. -
The company has acquired Dublin-based Enviroguide Consulting in an effort to increase its focus on environmental concerns.
-
Advantages for conversion of nonactive oil and gas wells to geothermal wells include deferred plugging and abandonment costs, safety and environmental concerns, and potential energy production.
-
The project aims to power subsea equipment with wave power and subsea energy storage. The two technologies have been deployed in the seas off Orkney, Scotland, and have begun a test program where they will provide low-carbon power and communication to infrastructure.
-
The organizations have created health performance indicators (HPIs) to be used by organizations in the oil and gas industry. The published guidance for applying these HPIs has been updated in several aspects, including recognition of the importance of mental health.
-
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 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.
