Sustainability
The annual survey is designed to gauge companies’ reporting practices regarding sustainability and governance.
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.

The companies are combining their technologies in an effort to help upstream oil and gas operators monitor, report, and reduce emissions. -
This paper presents efforts and details of a pilot trial that was planned and executed to demonstrate the concept of repurposing existing wells into electricity generators instead of abandoning them.
-
Heightened focus on methane emissions management spurs a new conceptual framework to aid in determining the duration of detected methane emissions, data that may be useful to stakeholders responsible for measurement-informed emission protocols.
-
The geothermal company will use organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technology, which does not require steam to generate electricity.

In 2022, Hess and the government of Guyana announced an agreement for the company to purchase 37.5 million REDD+ carbon credits directly from the government, one of the largest private-sector forest preservation agreements in the world. This paper explores the analysis of decarbonization pathways, voluntary carbon markets, and individual carbon offset projects that ul…

Kampala is drawing now on international experience to sidestep the “oil curse” before first crude flows from its Lake Albert developments.
-
If optimized to scale, fast fission reactors could play a role in reducing emissions in field operations by producing carbon-free electricity.
-
Texas has become an early hot spot for geothermal energy exploration as scores of former oil industry workers and executives are taking their knowledge to a new energy source.
-
Electric conversion of these offshore platforms is expected to cut about 1.2 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year.
