The newly awarded 160 MMSCFD NiTech Dual Tower NRU utilizes “cutting-edge” technology to extract nitrogen from the residue gas of a cryogenic gas processing facility. This advanced unit boasts a modular, skidded design and is unmatched in its capability of handling high and low inlet nitrogen streams.

MethaneSAT's primary instrument includes a BAE Systems-built spectrometer that will identify and quantify methane emissions by measuring the narrow part of the infrared spectrum where the gas absorbs light reflected off the Earth. The satellite will monitor emissions from the oil and gas sector, and it will be able to revisit the same sites daily in most instances.

The collaborative energy innovation platform announced its rebrand and specialty board of advisors with executives from Nike, XPRIZE, and change-making innovators and entrepreneurs.

The oil and gas industry orthodoxy repeats the same arguments; these have become what Dr. Nathan Meehan calls the Houston Echo Chamber. This is a set of commonly held beliefs and opinions among oil and gas professionals that are often based on outdated information or wishful thinking.

In a pivotal moment for American energy policy, National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) President Erik Milito emphasizes the urgency of Congressional intervention following the conclusion of Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 261.

Chevron Corp. CFO Pierre Breber criticized employees for failing to deliver on several key performance metrics in 2023, a year in which Chevron's shares tumbled 16%, a steeper drop than its industry peers.

Neptune Energy has been awarded Gold Standard status by the United Nation’s Environmental Program (UNEP), recognizing the company’s detailed plans to reduce methane emissions to near zero by 2030.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) has called on the Biden administration to recognize the important role that Alaska plays in U.S. energy security and support the continued development of energy resources in the National Petroleum Reserve.

Texas made headlines this weekend after the State Board of Education (SBOE) rejected efforts to villainize oil and gas in textbooks used by our public schools.

While managing supply chain risks has always been a recurring boardroom concern, it took a global pandemic to underscore exactly what’s at stake when disruptions occur. As a result, the pandemic’s profound impact on supply chains has elevated the importance of globally recognized standards —particularly in the energy sector, where supply chain vulnerabilities have far-reaching consequences.

(WO) — Weatherford International Plc hosted its 19th annual FWRD Digital Conference on Nov. 7, convening figures from across the energy sector, technology partners, and technical experts from Weatherford.

(WO) — In an era when Africa needs oil and gas investments more than ever, attracting those investments has become increasingly difficult. Part of the challenge lies in the mounting pressure on oil companies to shift their focus from exploration and production to investments in renewable energy in response to global emissions-reduction goals.

(WO) — Shutting down obsolete North Sea energy installations is a business opportunity worth more than £20 billion ($25 billion) over the next decade, according to calculations by Offshore Energies UK (OEUK).

This first-of-its-kind device addresses reservoir fluid uncertainties and allows the operator to enhance oil and natural gas recovery in wells where current autonomous technologies are limited.

Immerse in an enlightening webinar unveiling cutting-edge methods for precise product temperature control, even amidst unprecedented summer heat waves.

The main scope of this paper is to describe the possible and secure production method of huge quantities of fresh/drinkable water from subsea bottom springs, by separating this meteoric (in origin) groundwater from the saline seawater.

Pioneer Energy, Inc. have completed a successful field trial of their new Emission Control Treater (ECT) technology. The pilot demonstrated nearly complete elimination of well pad emissions with autonomous and reliable operations, and an 11.3% increase in crude yield.

As the research arm of Aramco, Exploration and Petroleum Engineering Advanced Research Center (EXPEC ARC) has accomplished much in its 17-year history, rising to new heights of technological innovation and achievement. The future heralds even greater contributions to global energy technology.

Greg Shaver, a mechanical engineering professor and director of Purdue’s Ray W. Herrick Laboratories, is part of a national effort researching the reduction of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and microscopic particle emissions and improving the efficiency of diesel engines on the road today.

“Thanks to a $76,000 Early-Career Research Fellowship from the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, my long-term research goals are to create safe, multi-hazard resilient offshore energy infrastructure, such as offshore wind farms, oil/gas pipelines, offshore platforms, and other civil infrastructure threatened by extreme windstorms and structural aging issues,” Sun said.

For offshore operators, PHASETREAT WET reduces chemical volume by up to 75%, resulting in reduction in freight, inventory, and offshore movements. In onshore operations, the solution offers additional benefits, including decreased dosages for demulsifiers and deoilers, improved water treatment quality, more efficient oil treatment, and reduction of injection points.
