Sustainability

During this 60-minutes workshop, we will discuss the following topics: 1) "Sustainability in Oilfield Electrification: Applying the Envision® Framework", presented by Sara Tomashitis, Project Manager and James Yung, Project Manager from Burns & McDonnell. 2) "Electric Oilfield Standards", presented by Jared Oehring, Founder and President and Richard Hoffman, Chief Risk Officer from Oehring Advisors LLC.

Among other things, Microsoft is making it possible for Exxon to analyze reams of oil field data. Amazon is helping drillers run simulations to maximize how much oil they can pump from existing wells.

Phase 2 of project approvals is great boost to jump start carbon capture, but all projects are needed if UK is to meet climate goals, industry body OEUK says.

The leading trade body for the UK’s offshore energy industry, Offshore Energies UK, launched new guidelines to help oil and gas companies reduce methane emissions from the production of oil and gas.

As part of the rollout of its multi-energy strategy in Angola, TotalEnergies announced the launch of the Begonia oil field, and Quiluma and Maboqueiro gas fields developments, as well as its first photovoltaic project in the country.

Supply chain companies in the UK offshore oil and gas sector are in prime position to win work in carbon capture and storage if urgent action is taken by governments and industry, a new report indicates.

The search for carbon storage sites, wind farm locations and potential hydrocarbon fields has received a significant boost as more than 132 terabytes of seismic data has been uploaded on to the National Data Repository.

TechnipFMC understands the challenges operators face with produced water and has formed technology alliances with Stauper and Filtra-Systems, to create complete and integrated Produced Water Treatment solutions. In this webcast we will show you how our high performing Produced Water Treatment solutions lead to enhanced oil recovery, meeting and exceeding environmental requirements, and create value by reducing total cost of ownership. Our technology alliance gives you access to the best available technologies, engineering and design; a combination that enables us to completely integrate produced water treatment systems and debottleneck existing operations, within the same footprint.

Schlumberger announced an award to OneSubsea and its alliance partner, Subsea 7, by Kosmos Energy Gulf of Mexico Operations, for an engineering, procurement, construction and installation contract for the Odd Job field in the Gulf of Mexico.

The British government needs to publish detailed plans on decarbonizing the economy if it wants to prevent a “disorderly” transition to net-zero emissions by 2050, members of Parliament’s upper chamber said Thursday.

Oil majors that want to reduce their carbon footprint will have to shift their activities to energy basins where drilling rigs can be powered by renewables and which have ample space for carbon sequestration, a report indicates.

The potential emergency order that Biden is mulling would unlock broad executive powers to propel clean-energy construction, restrict oil drilling and curb fossil fuel use.

More U.S. shale producers should aim for net-zero emissions, while drillers that have already made climate pledges need to set more aggressive timelines to reach their goals, according to investor Kimmeridge Energy Management.

This year, the number of new petroleum-engineering graduates in the U.S. is expected to total about 400 -- an 83% decline from 2017, when they peaked at more than 2,300.

A set of reports due to be published in the coming months will show how companies in the UK’s offshore oil and gas industry supply chain can expand to cleaner energies, including carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS), hydrogen and offshore wind.

The U.S. Supreme Court restricted the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to curb greenhouse gases from power plants, siding with coal-mining companies and Republican-led states in a blow to President Joe Biden’s climate-change agenda.

As a resource-rich country on the leading edge of many clean energy technologies, Norway is uniquely well placed for the clean energy transition, according to a new in-depth policy review by the International Energy Agency.

Cost-efficient emissions reductions of up to 87% on offshore oil and gas platforms could be achieved using alternative power sources, according to the winners of a competition launched to accelerate electrification of oil and gas assets in the North Sea.  

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) will be an essential pathway as industries move to net zero. The ability to handle CO2 at both emission sources and directly from air, together with long-term storage in the subsurface, make CCS a crucial part of the energy transition. Join AspenTech experts to learn how innovations in digital technology support end-to-end CCS, with faster, widespread scale-up and improvements in economics and efficiency. Learn how you and your teams can: - Use rigorous modeling and economic analysis for rapid design and scale-up of carbon capture processes - Evaluate all current and new technology areas (such as liquid and physical solvent absorption, zeolites, membranes and other approaches) to find the most viable solution for your use cases - Leverage subsurface models to select depleted reservoirs and aquifers for CO2 storage that meet technical and economic criteria - Support optimized control and ongoing operator training to reduce risks and ensure proper CO2 storage You’ll see how chemical simulation models evaluate CCS approaches, such as converting CO2 to carbonates. Now is the time to adopt an end-to-end carbon capture and storage solution tailored to your needs. We encourage you to join the conversation by submitting questions when registering for the event.

ABB has been contracted by engineering, procurement, and construction contractor Aker Solutions to deliver the main electrical, automation and safety systems for Norway’s Northern Lights project.
