HSE & Sustainability
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.

Storing captured carbon requires a receptacle, and existing reservoirs are just the thing. But which ones? -
Oil producers encountering pockets of methane typically use flare stacks to burn off the vented gas. However, winds blowing across conventional open flame burners often result in 40% or more of the methane escaping into the air.
-
UK offshore oil and gas producers are moving closer to the region's goal of achieving zero routine flaring by 2030.

During a fireside chat on SPE Live, Iman Hill, the executive director of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers, discussed market recovery, the energy transition, diversity in the oil and gas industry, and the future of the industry.

Coal states are questioning whether the Clean Air Act gave the EPA the power to create policy.
-
A recent study led by environmental engineers at Rice University quantifies the effect of black carbon particles on health.
-
A lawsuit filed in the Bay Area represents a looming issue for thousands of idled oil and gas wells.
-
The two companies will work to retrofit nonproducing wells for geothermal production and scale GreenFire Energy’s closed-loop advanced geothermal systems.

How is it possible that, in the 30 years since the international oil and gas industry declared a commitment to eradicate the unthinkable, catastrophic events continued to occur—especially in light of so much evidence being on hand asserting overall HSE performance improvements? This paper addresses this clear conundrum and submits that there are essentially three prin…

Skyrocketing demand for the commodity has created a lithium deficit that could slow the pace of the energy transition. Industry is scrambling to find new sources by opening new mines or devising new technologies to extract lithium from brines, including brines found in produced water from oil and gas operations.
