This paper explores the application of a modular, high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor to a Very Large Crude Carrier-class floating production, storage, and offloading vessel.
This paper describes the potential of combined-cycle technology (use of a gas turbine and a steam turbine together to turn fuel into electricity) in offshore carbon-capture applications.
This paper uses the structural-integrity-management framework to evaluate the current structural integrity of chosen platforms, highlighting their potential and limitations for carbon capture, use, and storage purposes based on in-service assessments.

Years in the making, the program sponsored by the US Department of Energy is celebrating its latest geothermal energy breakthrough in southwestern Utah. -
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.

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.
