Big Oil’s Net-Zero Plans Show the Hard Limits of Carbon Offsets
Mar 1, 2021
Many of the recent net-zero commitments, however, behave as though these constraints don’t exist. What is discretionary is how fast we eliminate fossil fuel use and transition to clean energy. We have great deal of visibility about how to do that, and agency to make it happen.
Reversing the Flow – Repurposing Wells for Carbon Capture & Storage?
Mar 1, 2021
2020 is a year that’ll be remembered for many reasons. Covid aside, it’s been a turning point for the offshore industry, one where net-zero solutions have been top of the agenda, including within well abandonment. Elaine Maslin takes a look.
CSIRO, GTI partner on supercritical CO2 plant
Feb 23, 2021
Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is partnering with US energy research organisation Gas Technology Institute (GTI) on supercritical CO2 (sCO2) plants that could help mining companies realise their renewable energy ambitions.
You've heard of net zero? These oil companies say they've reached 'net-negative' carbon emissions
Feb 14, 2021
it seems like every day, another company is pledging to become a "net-zero" emitter of greenhouse gases — at some point years or decades in the future.
But a pair of Alberta companies say they've not only achieved the mark but are actually storing more emissions underground than they are producing from their operations.
CCS could tap 62% of world’s CO2 emissions; global geological storage at 11,500 Gt
Feb 6, 2021
The energy world is changing, and quicker than most experts predicted only a year ago. The adaptation of renewable energy technologies is accelerating, even during the pandemic, and three contenders — carbon capture and storage (CCS), battery storage and hydrogen — have begun a competitive race to reduce emissions and assist the increasing number of countries, industries and companies that are setting net zero targets.
China’s Unconventional Challenge Spurs New Thinking on Shale and Tight Reservoirs
Feb 1, 2021
In striving to boost production of shale gas and tight oil, China is trying enhanced-hydraulic-fracturing technology and real-time data analysis in the Sichuan shale basin. In Daqing’s tight-oil fields, an alternative fracture-completion strategy and post-stimulation flowback technology has been tested.
