LibertyStream has signed a feedstock agreement with Goodnight Midstream to support its first commercial lithium carbonate facility in North Dakota's Bakken, advancing plans to extract battery-grade lithium from produced water.
The transition away from materials that contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), co-called forever chemicals, creates an opportunity to preserve historical information. Information that appears to have little operational value today may later become important when organizations need to evaluate past PFAS use. Once that information is lost, recreating it may…
TotalEnergies signed off for 30% operated stakes in the Lang Lebah and B14 gas fields offshore Sarawak on the sidelines of ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, while also highlighting methane-reduction partnerships in Angola, India, and Southeast Asia.

The tools to reduce flaring are well within reach, but the results will depend on a long-term commitment by operators and governments. -
This paper reviews the simultaneous supercritical CO2/brine aquifer injection and water-alternating-gas methods for geologic carbon sequestration and proposes a novel integration with saltwater-disposal wells.
-
In the past year, publications on CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage have increasingly focused on the design, evaluation, and optimization of storage plans. These efforts encompass a broad spectrum of challenges and innovations, including the expansion of storage reservoirs from depleted gas fields and saline aquifers to stratified carbonate formations and heavy-o…

Geothermal development is gaining steam and entering a transformative era, driven by breakthroughs in adapting and improving on engineering, drilling, completion, and production technologies to the efficient extraction of heat from the Earth.
-
Block Energy announced the completion of its carbon capture and storage pilot study, confirming the viability of the field for permanent carbon storage.
-
DNV awarded the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company a storage certificate at the endorsement stage for its West Aquifer site.
-
Four former gas-producing wells have been converted into injection wells and are now preparing to receive carbon dioxide for storage.
-
The US Environmental Protection Agency withdraws its legal basis for federal vehicle GHG standards, setting up potential court challenges.
