The companies have agreed on the main commercial terms to transport CO2 captured from Yara Sluiskil, an ammonia and fertiliser plant in the Netherlands, and permanently store it under the seabed off the coast of Norway.
Australia’s oil and gas industry says new offshore acreage to explore for carbon capture and storage opportunities as well as areas for petroleum exploration will support efforts to lower emissions and ensure continued energy security.
The project, selected by the Petrobras Socio-environmental Program, will work with almost 800 direct participants from traditional fishing communities in the municipalities of Cabo Frio, São Pedro da Aldeia, Saquarema and Maricá until 2024, totalling 24 months of duration.
We are witnessing an accelerating talent transfer to renewables as the energy transition opens doors to new careers and countries for workers in traditional energy sectors.
As well as being used for follow-on OPITO assessments and Lifeboat Coxswain Further Training, the simulators will help improve competency, enhance the learner experience and raise lifeboat safety standards.
The facility allows the company to stock equipment which is available for hire and deployment straight away, helping ease concerns around supply chain delivery.
The highest ESG score overall goes to Chevron, followed by SM Energy in second, while Ovintiv and ConocoPhillips shared third place.
The yard will be used to decommission offshore topsides, jackets and subsea equipment in line with Liberty Industrial’s sustainable commitments - to recycle, reuse or repurpose upwards of 95% of all salvaged waste and material.
This stage of the L10 carbon capture and storage project has the potential to store 4-5 million t of CO2 annually for industrial customers within depleted gas fields around the Neptune-operated L10-A, B and E areas. It represents the first stage in the potential development of the greater L10 area as a large-volume CO2 storage reservoir.
The study, supported by the Net Zero Technology Centre in Aberdeen, will cover the initial phase of a staged process to determine how retrofitted wells can reduce the carbon footprint of an operating platform.
A report on the safety risk of working in confined spaces, developed by Professor Andrew Woods of the BP Institute at Cambridge University, indicates that many organisations in the oil & gas industries have been operating below the generally tolerable levels of safety risk.
Operated with power from the grid, KCA Deutag’s rig at the Adorf carboniferous gas field will use electrical motors in place of diesel-driven generators, removing an estimated 1000 t of CO2 emissions from the drilling operation.
Oil Plus will develop and deliver a proactive topsides maintenance resilience and equipment reliability programme for the unnamed operator.
Flylogix will leverage the funding round to expand to new geographies, including the US, Norway and Trinidad & Tobago.
With the planned expansion, LongPath will provide real-time monitoring for approximately 60 Apache facilities across multiple areas of the Permian.
