Faced with oppressively high prices at the pump and escalating energy costs that negatively impact our daily lives, one must wonder: what can be done to rectify this situation?

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.

Oilfield electrification has become increasingly important over the last several years, as E&P companies invest in long-term infrastructure in shale play holdings to help achieve net zero goals.

DNV, the independent expert in risk management and assurance and Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), a global energy and solutions partner, ranked amongst the largest corporations in Fortune Global 500 signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to address the technical, regulatory and business challenges of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) deployment.

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.

Industry CEOs should be prioritizing customer value above all else.

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.

Neptune Energy announced it has joined the Aiming for Zero Methane Emissions Initiative, a project to cut emissions of the harmful greenhouse gas to near zero by 2030.

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.

Global energy consultancy Xodus has established a new Contaminant Advisory Group to help tackle the decommissioning regulatory challenges facing operators in Australia.

To borrow a phrase from the recent Energy Workforce & Technology Council annual meeting, I believe the changes we’re seeing are an energy “expansion,” not an energy “transition.”

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.

Insufficient permitting and leasing, coupled with flawed regulations, are hampering development and production of good offshore assets.

EIG, an institutional investor to the global energy and infrastructure sectors, announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Aramco to collaborate on future energy projects.

Neptune Energy, ExxonMobil subsidiary XTO Netherlands, Ltd., Rosewood Exploration Ltd., and EBN Capital B.V. announced the signing of a Cooperation Agreement to progress the L10 large-scale offshore carbon capture and storage project in the Dutch North Sea.
