... Abstract The authors have been working with the challenges related to decommissioning facilities offshore California since 1996. In a 2018 OTC paper (OTC-28844-MS) they reviewed the challenges for offshore facility decommissioning in this region. This paper reviews and updates the oil and gas...

... Abstract For many years, reverse osmosis (RO) elements have been used in the treatment of produced water, including at several sites in California. The RO reduces salts and organics in the produced water to a level that allows for disposal or reuse. The RO elements used to treat produced water...

... Abstract At present, approximately 37,000 out of 110,000 oil and gas wells in onshore California are classified as ‘idle’ - they have not been producing hydrocarbon or water, including EOR, for two consecutive years without abandonment. In this context, we examine whether operators retaining...

... Abstract This paper presents a historic overview of the resource and technology for exploration and the production of hydrocarbons that has literally propelled California to be the "Golden State", as well as created modern civilization as we know it today; it is difficult to imagine its...

... Abstract Historically, renewable energy technologies have been seen as a source of competition by the oil and gas industry. However, the oil and gas industry is now one of the primary sources of investments in renewable energy technologies. The oil and gas industry in California, in particular...

... offsets. According to the new carbon law in the state of California the amount of CO 2 e eliminated from the atmosphere can be traded to earn carbon credits. TIRE facility through its ability to sequester and thus eliminate emission of the GHGs from the atmosphere can gain up to $1.5M worth of carbon...

... Abstract This paper outlines one of the first efforts by a major oil and gas company to build a net exporting, behind the meter solar photovoltaic (PV) plant to lower the operating costs and carbon intensity of a large, mature oil and gas field in Lost Hills, California.
