Woodside Accused of Greenwashing Over CCS Plans
statement is required.The proposed Browse carbon capture and storage (CCS) project would capture a compressed CO2 stream from onboard the two FPSOs proposed as part of the Browse to NWS Project. Woodside, as operator, is proposing to develop the Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa conventional natural gas fields located in the offshore Browse Basin, approximately 425km north of Broome.The proposal calls for infrastructure to transport, inject and permanently sequester up to 270 mmscfd (~14,200 tonnes of CO2 per day) into the Calliance Storage Formation (near Scott Reef) at an expected annual average injection
Viridien, TGS and Aquila Holdings Deliver Utsira OBN Reprocessing Project
required the deployment of more than 144,000 nodes and over 5.5 million shots.Covering an area of 2077 square kilometers in a mature part of the North Sea, the survey was acquired in 2018 and 2019, and the initial processing results delivered in 2020.The Utsira area holds several significant oil and gas fields, including Edvard Grieg, Ivar Aasen, Balder, Gina Krog, Gudrun and Johan Sverdrup, along with a number of undeveloped discoveries and prospects.The reprocessing project has received significant industry support and leverages strong demand for high-definition seismic imaging in this highly prospective
![“Our province has been shaped by the Atlantic Ocean. It can be extremely cold, extremely unforgiving. If it works here, it will work anywhere. The technology we [develop and] use here can be adapted to anywhere else in the world. We are adaptive, we're nimble, we're problem solvers. And at the end of the day, we are collaborative."

of excellence in maritime, subsea and offshore energy.“When you look back historically, the fishery was the backbone,” said Parsons. “But that has grown over time, and now we are building on this blue economy, and the expertise has shifted.”Specifically, the discovery of oil and gas fields offshore helped to not only bolster the finances of the province, but the cumulative experience of discovering and recovering oil and gas in close proximity to iceberg alley has helped this small population create, refine and export a long list of technologies aimed at working efficiently, effectively

Trinidad and Venezuela Set to Launch Seismic Survey at Joint Gas Fields
Seismic work at offshore gas fields shared by Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago is expected to start in the coming days, the Caribbean country's energy minister Stuart Young said on Friday on social media.Venezuela in July issued a 20-year license allowing the development of its side of the reservoir, the Cocuina field. The U.S. earlier this year also authorized the project, to be developed by Britain's BP and Trinidad's National Gas Company.The Cocuina and Manakin fields, whose Venezuelan portion belongs to the idled offshore gas project Plataforma Deltana, has 1 trillion cubic feet of
