Sustainability
SPE's new Asset Integrity Technical Section brings together industry experts to advance best practices in reliability engineering, asset integrity, risk reduction, and infrastructure performance. The global community will focus on the safe, reliable, and sustainable operation of energy assets across both traditional and emerging energy sectors.
SPE Journal is seeking submissions for a special issue on sustainable enhanced oil recovery (EOR), highlighting innovations that boost oil recovery while reducing CO2 emissions and environmental impact. The Call for Papers opens on 15 October 2026.
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO₂ capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO₂ concentrations.
-
BP’s 2024 Energy Outlook warns delayed decarbonization efforts will result in costly and disorderly energy transition. -
Houston-based enhanced geothermal systems pioneer uses fracturing and other oil and gas technologies to stabilize power grids with zero-carbon renewable energy that doesn’t depend on the weather.
-
The aim of this study is to address and discuss the reservoir engineering aspects of geological hydrogen storage.
-
This paper examines the shortfalls of current CO2 capture and storage measures and their future within the context of increasing global consumption of fossil fuels.
-
The Permian’s produced-water challenge presents an opportunity for innovation to pave the way toward a more sustainable future for the industry.
-
An economic analysis of a wellbore methodology in natural gas fields that uses gasification of methane within the wellbore (not within the reservoir) for hydrogen production while incorporating simultaneous sequestration of carbon. This new methodology offers significant energy and cost savings in addition to zero carbon being produced to the surface.
-
Hunt Energy Network invested $10 million into Quidnet to help scale up the company’s concept for geopressured energy storage to the tune of 300 MW.
-
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.
