HSE & Sustainability
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.
Ultradeepwater prospects along the northern coast of Brazil could help offset decline in legacy basins, though permitting hurdles remain a wild card.
Sustainable energy continues to grow as a focus for reliable, affordable, and secure energy as seen from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Three primary areas are being reported on heavily: carbon use for enhanced oil recovery, geological hydrogen discovery, and critical minerals from the subsurface.

The SPE/IADC Asia Pacific Drilling Technology Conference and Exhibition will offer opportunities to exchange views, deliberate solutions for prevailing challenges, and enhance operational efficiency through collaboration and sharing of best practices. -
A string of high-potential fires in the Gulf of Mexico leads to inspections and recommendations to improve safety.
-
An agent-based model is developed and used to predict COVID-19 spread within living quarters of an offshore oil and gas platform.
-
This paper investigates the use of machine learning to rapidly predict the solutions of a high-fidelity, complex physics model using a simpler physics model.

Hunt Energy Network invested $10 million into Quidnet to help scale up the company’s concept for geopressured energy storage to the tune of 300 MW.
-
In this paper, the authors propose polymer-assisted water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection as an alternative method to reduce gas mobility while reducing the mobility of the aqueous phase and, consequently, improving WAG performance.
-
The authors of this paper study the effect of solids particles on oil/water separators and on produced-water treatment.
-
This study emphasizes the vital need to evaluate well conditions and working-fluid compatibility with coiled tubing materials to prolong coiled tubing operational life.

A new kind of groupie is interested in the heavy metal band Metallica’s tour in Europe, including Shell, big-rig and electric vehicle manufacturers, and producers of hydrogen, biofuels, and LNG. It has less to do with the music than the alternative fuels keeping the buses rolling on the 2-month, 7,200-mile journey across nine countries.
