DNV notes that energy and industrial process-related carbon emissions will have dropped by 2050 by only 44% from today’s level, not even halfway to the net-zero pledge envisioned by the Paris climate agreement.
The UAE project is expected to produce up to 345 MMscf/D by 2029, with expansion potential to 1 Bcf/D.
This study investigates the potential for in-situ hydrogen generation from hydrocarbons using in-situ combustion, with particular emphasis on the role of kerogen content and heating mode.

Plans were developed to produce multiple deepwater reservoirs with vastly different fluid properties from a subsea development in 3,100 ft of water in the Gulf of Mexico. -
The Mensa field is a deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM) geopressured-gas field, producing from Upper Miocene sand with faulted four-way closure.

The success rates of E&P megaprojects has dropped over the past decade. What is causing this falloff in performance?
-
Employees place great emphasis on training and development opportunities when choosing employers, and lack of training and skills development could hamper the oil and gas industry’s short-term potential for production growth.
-
Charles Wilds, founder and president of SOS Group, presented the need for oil and gas companies to do more for their younger high performers as the average age of the overall workforce continues to shift.
-
This regular column addresses the social side of engineering. We are pleased to include an article written by two of the more prominent names in decision-theory research. Dale Griffin and Thomas Gilovich describe interesting and important insights from the study of heuristics and biases.
-
Recent activities around career planning for facilities engineers led me to a list of "must read" books. The recent ATCE generated two revelations. As an industry, we do a poor job of managing major capital projects, and we do not know how to design separators.
-
Project management is one way to keep an eye on the big picture. Focusing on the little things too can increase your bottom line. The complexity of modern facilities construction projects necessitates a cradle-to-grave approach to managing projects over long periods of time.
-
The oil and gas industry is technical and challenging. Because the technical issues are dealt with by humans, we also face social, psychological, and cognitive issues which are frequently as challenging. In this regular column, we address the softer side of engineering.
-
Facilities engineering has grown with the industry’s advance into deep water and the development of complex subsea systems to produce the resources found there.
