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.

In the search for leaks, more oil and gas companies are making the argument that ground-based inspections cannot compete with aerial surveys. -
The need to increase management and boardroom commitment to change will never go away, but it needs to be matched with a focus on directing the commitment that exists into the most effective areas, with actions that deliver real impact. In particular, there are four priorities business should pursue.
