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

Leveraging its existing natural gas interests, plus renewables potential in Egypt and Mauritania, BP is now factoring in Africa to realize its global ambitions as a hydrogen producer. -
The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative says its members’ absolute upstream methane emissions were down 40% since 2017. That’s equivalent to taking more than 3 million cars off the road for a year.

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.

Investors say they value a company’s data on sustainability almost as much as they value its financial data. They need to be able to trust it as much, too.
