Opening day remarks from President Mohamed Irfaan Ali framed fossil fuels and renewables as parallel systems amid rising demand and structural supply pressures.
Experts and industry leaders gathered in The Woodlands, Texas, recently to sift through the challenges of carbon capture, utilization, and storage. The puzzle is coming together, but some critical pieces are still needed before the results look like the picture on the box.
The chair of the SPE Georgetown Section outlines how balanced, apolitical dialogue can support development amid rapid energy expansion.

The sites with the most CO2 emissions to capture are often far from the best rock to sequester it, leading to design projects for transport ships. -
This paper outlines one of the first efforts by a major oil and gas company to build a net exporting, behind-the-meter solar photovoltaic plant to lower the operating costs and carbon intensity of a large, mature oil and gas field.

This research addresses the bottlenecks experienced in supply-chain management (SCM) in an African hydrocarbon company. These bottlenecks slow down processes and make the procedures tedious, leading to operational inefficiencies. This paper discusses the security of the SCM data and the overall automation of the procurement value chain, providing transparency to the s…

Divesting from fossil fuel assets makes a big statement. Its impact, however, is murkier. Selling off an asset requires someone else to buy it, which, in the case of fossil fuels, can mean breathing new capital into the exact assets companies are trying to choke. But there’s another approach: running those assets into the ground.
