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.
-
Geothermal systems, which rely on extracting heat from deep within the Earth, face many of the same technical challenges that oil and gas operators have tackled for decades. Geothermal development can be advanced efficiently and economically by applying proven oil and gas technologies. -
With an increasing focus on clean energy, sustainable operations, emissions reduction, and data integration, the global energy landscape is evolving. Hence, overcoming HP/HT challenges is critical to ensuring energy security, optimizing production, and pacing our transition.
-
This study highlights how the recovery and reuse of existing hydrocarbon infrastructure can contribute to the diffusion of district-heating projects that implement the principles of the circular economy.
-
The companies have announced they will work together to integrate geothermal well engineering and project delivery globally.
-
A recent report from Wood Mackenzie highlights the role of natural gas in supporting renewables and reducing emissions.
-
This paper presents collaborative initiatives instigated by of a global energy technology company with indigenous communities. The case studies presented in the paper have the goal of encouraging participation in the workforce as well as encouraging the development of environmental, sustainability, and educational programs.
-
The energy world is rapidly changing. The pressure to address climate change, ensure reliable energy supplies, and manage costs is greater than ever.
-
The plant is designed to capture up to 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually for the Netherlands-based sustainable energy supplier Twence.
-
Wood Mackenzie reports that prices would need to rise, capital discipline would need to evolve, and spending would need to increase by 30% for the upstream sector to meet demand in a delayed energy transition scenario.
-
A new modeling tool examines the pathways and technology necessary for California to reach carbon neutrality economywide by 2045.
