This paper presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
This work presents an evaluation for carbon capture, utilization, and storage projects in the UAE for two wells in a saline water aquifer with respect to caprock integrity and water sampling.
This work introduces an analytical model for nonisothermal CO2 injection that accounts for both Joule-Thomson cooling and interformation heat exchange.

Data science plays an increasing role in the fight against climate change. As we use data science to develop innovative solutions to climate change, we should be careful not to replicate, or worsen, existing inequities—or create new ones. -
Higher bonding amounts and an expanded orphaned well program will fund the cleanup of thousands of aging sites.

This marks the first time the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has formally incorporated environmental justice considerations into one of its policies, making environmental justice a matter to be considered systematically in FERC proceedings for certificates of public convenience and necessity.

From 2013 to 2018, the number of terrestrial and marine spills reported in Trinidad and Tobago trended upward. The country’s Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries assessed its National Oil Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP) with the Readiness Evaluation Tool for Oil Spills and identified gaps in national legislation, risk management, logistics, training and exercises, …

Virtue signaling alone is not a viable strategy to deal with climate issues. However, virtue signaling best leads to “virtuous” behavior. A company motivated only by appearances will face forces to keep up appearances. As firmer pressure teed up, voluntary corporate and national commitments to net-zero emissions have grown exponentially.

The energy transition and digitalization transition are not to be feared. While the rate of change will accelerate, very little of true value will be lost and the transitions instead offer a variety of incremental opportunities, especially for members of the production and facilities community.
