Decarbonizing steel: A light at the end of the furnace

by  Omar Navarro

The steel industry has played a key role in industrialization, economic growth, and improving the standard of living in much of the developed world. Our cars, buildings, manufacturing equipment, and infrastructure would not be as durable, reliable, safe, or affordable without innovations in steel. But while we live better because of it, we also emit more greenhouse gases than at any point in history—which is why the steel industry is embracing change.

What does reservoir fluid geodynamics mean for oil and gas?

Initiated and led by SLB Fellow Dr. Oliver C. Mullins, the oil and gas industry has introduced a new technical discipline called reservoir fluid geodynamics (RFG) to enhance the understanding and management of reservoir fluids over geologic time. RFG offers a comprehensive approach similar to "structural geology" for rocks, focusing on how fluids and rock structures evolve together. This new discipline helps operators address uncertainties in reserve estimates, productivity, and reservoir connectivity, and the Ora platform is a key enabler. Learn from Dr. Oliver Mullins how RFG is becoming an essential tool in reservoir management and development.
