Conference tools to help oil and gas companies to stay productive working remotely
New technology allows “social distancing” for essential workers in the field, allowing them to understand, plan and coordinate effectively from home.
Offshore oil and gas platforms emitting more methane than thought
University of Michigan researchers found offshore energy platforms in the Gulf of Mexico are emitting more methane than previously thought.
Trade agreement between U.S., China should be reinterpreted for long-term oil and gas value
Rice University experts at the Baker Institute for Public Policy argue in an issue brief that the trade deal with the U.S. and China should be reinterpreted to allow for better long-term benefits relating to oil and gas.
Tight spaces tip presence of petrochemicals
Rice University researchers reveal the critical role of molecular confinement in interpreting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which will lead to better interpretation by the oil and gas industry.
