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.

For the first time, a variable model of psychological risks of oil and gas personnel was developed, including a differential assessment of environmental and personal resources, that focused on isolation, control, and reduction of psychological risks in professional activities. -
Job insecurity and the pandemic also affected worker's mental health.
-
Moving the needle with the urgency required to deliver on the Global Methane Pledge announced at COP26 requires us to “lean in” to cut methane emissions that are fully within our control across our operations.
-
The authors describe a study in which leakage-rate modeling was performed to identify and evaluate the associated risks for designing a remedial action plan to safeguard a CO2 storage site.

When it comes to produced water from US shale plays, it’s either recycle and reuse or throw it away—and both are easier said than done.
-
The authors write that polymeric additives are effective in the design of complex systems to house important chemical reagents under challenging conditions.
-
While uncertainties remain for the coming year, there is also optimism for the upstream industry, a welcome prospect following two sharp downcycles in less than 6 years.
-
Selling reservoirs’ empty pore space may become a new, big business.
-
The plan includes the development and operation of a first-of-its-kind high-voltage, direct-current (HVDC-VSC) subsea transmission system in the Middle East and North Africa region.
