This paper proposes a shift in the timing of risk modeling to much further back within the job lifecycle, recognizing each function’s role in the mitigation of risk.
This article from the SPE Methane Technical Section features Arvind Ravikumar of the University of Texas at Austin and focuses on how the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab is integrating satellite observations, facility-level measurements, operational data, and emissions inventories into more credible methane accounting for oil and gas systems.
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.

The funding is for 33 research and development projects which will tackle the technical challenges of capturing CO2. -
Harish Krishnamoorthy, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Houston, has been selected by the National Academies’ Gulf Research Program as an early-career research fellow in the Offshore Energy Safety track.

The authors of this paper show the migration of a CO2 plume within a depleted carbonate reservoir and the expected effects of CO2 saturation and pressure buildups during injection on time lapse 4D seismic for conformance monitoring.
-
Carbon capture and storage, with the potential for usage, will be crucial if the world is to prevent global warming. While Norway has been injecting captured CO2 in saline aquifers since the mid-1990s, there has been no attempt, and no plans exist, in Europe to use CO2 for EOR. Why not?
-
At the center of a rush to build carbon storage is the state of Louisiana, where the number of applications to build long-term storage is equal to half the sites operating globally.
-
The recent Permian Basin earthquakes in Texas are keeping producers, regulators, and service providers busy in their quest to reduce the intensity and frequency of the induced seismic events.
-
Creating and cultivating a safety culture is one of the most effective ways to protect employees and ensure a safe workplace. But building a safety culture can be difficult. It takes time, effort, and commitment from everyone in the organization.
-
A town in the oil industry’s shadow grapples with health fears as the state fails to limit companies’ use of fresh water.
-
A new 1.0 Bcf/D facility in Baytown, Texas, is expected online no later than 2028.
