Since the EU imposed sanctions on Russia in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, there has been a redrawing of the global oil map, a new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) shows. Instead of cutting demand, Europe has simply replaced imports from Russia with oil from other producing countries. C carbon budget.

To reduce the number of accidents in the global oil and gas industry caused by damaged pipelines, University of Houston researchers are developing an autonomous robot to identify potential pipeline leaks and structural failures during subsea inspections. Preliminary studies were funded by UH’s Subsea Systems Institute.

“Blue” hydrogen—produced through steam methane reforming (SMR) of natural gas or coal gasification, but with CO 2 capture and storage—is being described as having low or zero carbon emissions. For our default assumptions (3.5% Even if true though, the use of blue hydrogen appears difficult to justify on climate grounds.

Researchers in India are using multi-wall carbon nanotube-optimized surfactant-polymer flooding for enhanced oil recovery. In an open-access paper in the journal Fuel , they report that their experimental application of carbon nanotube-based fluids yielded an oil recovery factor of approximately 70% of the original oil in place.

Researchers from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel have found that considerable quantities of the greenhouse gas methane escape uncontrolled into the water from abandoned oil and gas wells in the North Sea. The new study by GEOMAR scientists confirms this initial estimate on a larger data basis.

Crude oil and gas naturally escape from the seabed in many places known as seeps. This microbe, an archaeon named Methanoliparia , transforms the hydrocarbons by a process called alkane disproportionation: it splits the oil into methane (CH 4) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). © Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology).
