Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is a geologic and engineering enterprise designed to reduce atmospheric emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Extensive research links the GHG concentration in the atmosphere to the observed change in global temperature patterns (IPCC, 2013; Cox et al., 2000; Parmesean and Yohe, 2003). CCS technology could play an important role in efforts to limit the global average temperature rise to below 2°C, by removing carbon dioxide originating from fossil fuel use in power generation and industrial plants.

He is a petroleum engineer for BP based in Houston, Texas. He recently moved back from Abu Dhabi where he spent 4 years helping a team start up a new offshore field. Clemens has worked in several operating environments across the US and in the Middle East in shale, tight sand, coal bed methane, and carbonate formations both onshore and offshore. At work he specializes in designing well interventions, stimulation and well testing, and new field startups. He is currently working on an audit team that looks at company projects across the globe. Originally from El Paso, Texas, Clemens later moved to Austin where he graduated from the University of Texas. He has been a volunteer with TWA since 2014 supporting multiple sections prior to transitioning to a leadership role in 2017. Before TWA he served in a leadership capacity for OTC’s The Next Wave, a one day conference for energy young professionals. Outside of work he enjoys golf, rock climbing, and traveling with his wife, Kate.

Nanotechnology has great potential to reduce cost, increase production, and even improve the sustainability of E&P operations. But, where do we stand in terms of potential vs. reality? And, is the industry ready and willing to use the technology? The annual SPE PFC Technical Section dinner will take place during ATCE in Dubai on 26 September. The 2014 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) in Amsterdam drew people from all over the world, covered global themes, and focused on the triumphs, challenges, and remaining opportunities for the North Sea.

Nanotechnology has great potential to reduce cost, increase production, and even improve the sustainability of E&P operations. But, where do we stand in terms of potential vs. reality? And, is the industry ready and willing to use the technology? As producers push logistical and technological limits to operate in deeper water and more remote locations, maintaining and repairing offshore structures can present a number of challenges unique to these environments. One of the costliest is corrosion.

Adoption of digital technologies will continue to improve the offshore sector, including improved well efficiency, real-time directional drilling, lower maintenance costs, and safer operations.

There is increasing interest in drilling the Austin Chalk formation, with hopes that the latest unconventional development methods can deliver a boom in a play that has seen several over a 90-year history. The Austin Chalk play could go through a revival if the industry can view the formation through “a fresh set of eyes,” says EnerVest’s Tony Maranto.

The $20.7-billion agreement is the single-largest energy infrastructure investment in the region. The most recent hydrocarbon production boom is under way in the Middle East, and this time, the race is spilling into offshore waters. The companies will focus on research and development to reduce CO2 emissions and promote the circular economy. ADNOC’s drilling subsidiary has increased its rig fleet to 95 and plans to add “dozens” more by 2025. The upgrade project will increase the maturing field’s oil production to 485,000 B/D.

The $20.7-billion agreement is the single-largest energy infrastructure investment in the region. In 2 months, the US saw a 56% decline in rig count, reaching a 33-year low. There are numerous views of what the future energy landscape will look like in the next decade and beyond. When thinking about sources of primary energy, it is not a question of either/or, it is a question of what can reach scale fast enough to meet continued demand growth. Not everybody suffers when US oil producers slash production.
