🔍 Germany's largest oil refinery, Shell's Rheinland, is prepping for significant tune-ups this autumn. 🛠️🍂 As industry insiders whisper, the giant gears up for substantial work at the Godorf section & potentially Wesseling. 🇩🇪⚙️ While details are under wraps, this move points towards a resilience strategy amid Europe's evolving energy landscape. A bit of context—Rheinland, nestled along the Rhine, is Shell's second-largest in Europe, with a stout 327,000 barrels/day capacity. 🛢️ Last seen in the inspection bay in 2020, is it now pivot time? And here's a twist—whilst eyeing traditional turnarounds, Shell Godorf launched Germany's most extensive bio-LNG facility last month, a nod to sustainability. 🌿💡 With crude processing halting at Wesseling next year, we're witnessing a transformative era in energy production! What's your view on Shell's balancing act between upkeep & innovation at Rheinland? Drop your thoughts below 👇 #oil #BiggestOilRefinery #Rigzone #ShellPlansAutumnTurnaround

Lhoist Central Europe places great emphasis on environmental protection and the implementation of technologies that allow for the capture of CO₂ generated during the lime calcination process. 💨 A group of representatives from the lime, cement, and energy industries of Poland, visited Norway to learn about the experiences and offerings of the Norwegian side in the field of CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) technologies. The Polish Lime Association (Stowarzyszenie Przemysłu Wapienniczego) was represented by its President Marcin Jan Leszczyński who is also the Operational Director of Lhoist Central Europe. During the visit, the group met with representatives from research organizations such as SINTEF (Bergen) and Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM), which is the world’s largest post-combustion CO₂ capture test center. These centers focus on testing and validating technologies of carbon capture from flue gases, further processing them, and considering their potential geological sequestration under the North Sea. The team also visited the construction site of the CCUS installation Northern Lights JV Lights, which is scheduled to be operational in 2024. #Sustainability #CCUSTechnology #Innovation #Collaboration

The construction of the windfarm Dietrichsfeld near the headquarter of #ALTERRIC in #Aurich #Ostfriesland takes shape: the first out of three #Enercon E-126 EP3 with a hubhight of 135m is almost fully installed.

NEW SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT - We're delighted to introduce Zreh Raghina, Operations Superintendent, Utilities & Sulphur and Jason Kelly, Operations Superintendent – Gasification at North West Redwater Partnership, as speakers for the #PetroChemWest2024 conference in Calgary. Join Jason and Zreh for their presentation 'Start Up Challenges to World Class Run Lengths: Lessons Learned at the Sturgeon Refinery'. The North West Redwater Partnership has devised a bitumen processing solution in Alberta that not only maximizes the value of raw materials by generating ultra-low sulfur fuels but also integrates a carbon capture and storage (CCS) system. Through gasification, the refinery converts heavy bottoms, a significant bitumen waste product, into hydrogen for operations and a pure, dry CO2 stream. This captured CO2, amounting to approximately 70% of the refinery's total CO2 emissions, is cost-effectively stored and sold for enhanced oil recovery and permanent storage. The captured CO2 serves as a pivotal supply to the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line (ACTL), the world's largest system for capturing, transporting, utilizing, and storing industrial CO2, offering a substantial investment in CO2 management for Alberta's industrial development, designed concurrently with the Sturgeon Refinery.

We're thrilled to unveil the success of our collaboration with Petrobras, where Exakta's engineered pumps played a crucial role in overcoming challenges and promoting #sustainability in the Campos Basin. In partnership with Fluxo Soluções Integradas Ltda, Exakta addressed Petrobras's pressing environmental compliance challenges. Our chemical dosing systems, featuring 84 Nexa pumps, played a pivotal role in significantly reducing wastewater pollution. By 2022, we achieved a remarkable 62.5% reduction in #environmentalimpact, contributing to a more sustainable operation. Exakta's pump solutions, designed for offshore resilience, showcased exceptional attributes of high reliability, durability, and resistance. In the demanding offshore conditions, our pumps proved to be a reliable asset, ensuring #operationalefficiency and safety.

Wondering which Drilling and Completion Fluids or Cementing Company is today willing (or just able) to share its Chemicals PCF (Product Carbon Footprint) ? Key data for the operators to calculate their Upstream Scope#3 GHG emissions. These values are of the same order of magnitude as your Scope#1 for a Diesel driven land rig, any lead ? The only value available is about the cement, going from 600 kg eCO2 /t to 950 kg eCO2 eCO2, I have been contacting several Service Companies as well as Mud Products manufacturers, always with the same answers: 1) What is it all about ? 2) We are working on it (since 3 years) 3) No reply We have a lot of available ways to reduce our upstream impacts, let's activate these levers.

Don’t miss the SPE SJV Chapter Luncheon with Anacapa's Vice President and Senior Technical Director, Stuart M. Heisler, PE.   🗓️ Date: Thursday, 21 March 2024 ⏰ Time: Doors open at 11:00 AM for lunch and networking; program begins at 11:40 AM. 📍 Location: Chevron Conference Room B-1065, 9525 Camino Media, Bakersfield, CA 93311   Abstract: Hydrogen production plants, liquefaction plants, storage systems, transportation systems, and fueling stations are being developed in California to help displace conventional transportation fuels such as gasoline and diesel. Although California refineries already produce over a million metric tons a year of hydrogen using steam methane reforming, that is called Grey Hydrogen since the CO2 byproduct is released into the atmosphere. Several Blue Hydrogen plants are under development. Blue Hydrogen is produced with methane or non-methane steam reforming where the CO2 byproduct is either utilized or sequestered. A few Green Hydrogen plants are also under development. Green Hydrogen is produced by decomposition of water, generally by electrolysis. Blue and Green Hydrogen production, liquefaction, storage, transportation, and fueling stations subject employees and the public to substantial safety risks that require complex engineered mitigation. This is an opportunity for SPE members to transition from traditional oil and gas to new energy development.
