Techno-economic methodology to assess carbon capture technologies
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays a crucial role in decarbonizing the energy sector. Current projections show a significant increase of CCS projects in development, with carbon capture remaining the most cost-intensive aspect of the CCS value chain. Further development and innovation in this field can make a substantial impact. As more and more industries

Overview of lifecycle assessment for carbon capture and storage projects
Building on a growing library of resources related to lifecycle assessment and emissions quantification for carbon capture and storage, this Report provides an overview of the processes, methodologies, and tools available to quantify emissions related to the development of carbon capture and storage projects. It summarizes these resources and details how lifecycle assessments should be
Guidelines for venting minimization and vent recovery systems
This guideline identifies venting sources and discusses the design and operation of vent systems and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) recovery systems, as well as the situations in which these systems can be employed to minimize venting. This guidance has been developed to assist engineering and operations staff at upstream production facilities and may be useful
IOGP P2/11 positioning data exchange format – technical specification
The P-Formats for the exchange of positioning data are recommended by the IOGP for general use in the upstream oil and gas industry. They supersede earlier UKOOA P1, P2 and P6 formats. Parallel discussions with the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) covered deprecation of their SEG-P1 format and
recognition of the revised IOGP P1/11 format as its replacement. These formats have been developed in response to ever evolving acquisition and processing technologies.
Emergency Disconnect Sequence design recommendations
One of the fundamental risks in dynamic position (DP) rig operations is the loss of station keeping, which can be caused by equipment failure, human error, or adverse environmental conditions such as squalls. In such events, the rig needs to disconnect from the well, leaving the sealing elements of the blowout preventer (BOP) stack in
