A Grand Challenge: Net-Zero Operations—Changing the Definition of “Business as Usual”
01 May 2024
At COP28, more than 50 oil and gas companies took a historic step toward decarbonization by launching the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter. This article explores the importance of this effort, the opportunities available to the industry to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and the key technologies needed to achieve the net-zero goal.
In-Situ Hydrogen Production From Natural Gas Wells With Subsurface Carbon Retention
24 April 2024
To meet the objective of balancing economic prosperity, energy security, and environmental protection, a natural gas gasification process within a downhole completion tool is proposed that converts methane wells into hydrogen production wells, while simultaneously capturing the process-generated carbon downhole and reinjecting the carbon dioxide into the surrounding geology.
Navigating Tax Credits: Challenges for the Hydrogen Spectrum
01 April 2024
Pink hydrogen, produced through water electrolysis powered by nuclear energy, recently drew attention which underscored the complexity of decision-making in advancing such projects.
