Abstract

As the global community intensifies its efforts to combat climate change, the oil and gas industry faces mounting pressure to reduce its carbon footprint and adopt sustainable practices. This paper, “Exploring Carbon Management Technologies in Oil and Gas,” delves into the innovative technologies and strategies being deployed to manage carbon emissions within the sector. The study provides a comprehensive overview of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, examining their potential to significantly mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from both upstream and downstream operations. Additionally, the paper explores advancements in carbon sequestration, highlighting the latest developments and their implications for long-term environmental sustainability. Key areas of focus include the integration of digital tools and artificial intelligence to enhance carbon management efficiency, the role of hydrogen production and utilization in reducing carbon emissions, and the deployment of nature-based solutions such as reforestation and soil carbon sequestration. Through detailed case studies and industry examples, the research underscores the practical applications and benefits of these technologies, as well as the challenges and barriers to their widespread adoption. The findings suggest that while significant progress has been made, achieving meaningful carbon reductions will require continued innovation, substantial investment, and robust regulatory support.
