Frontiers Issue 21: April 2008
Managing Editor Terry Knott welcomes readers to this issue of Frontiers, the BP magazine of technology and innovation
Capturing carbon dioxide emissions and storing them safely in deep geological formations holds significant potential for combating greenhouse gas emissions associated with climate change. BP has established itself as a leader in understanding and developing the technologies required to achieve carbon capture and storage at scale - a range of operations that plays directly to the company's core strengths. In this issue of Frontiers we take an in-depth look at the technologies involved, and at BP's wider initiatives in helping to drive the carbon capture and storage agenda.
Other features in this issue focus on BP's advanced capabilities in activities as diverse as: seismic surveillance for monitoring hydrocarbon reservoirs over time; location intelligence - providing on-the-spot information to conduct operations more safely and efficiently; tailor-made greases to underpin the smooth running of industry; and subsea pumping in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where one of BP's pioneering projects has set new records in boosting production from oil and gas fields.
Wherever your particular interest lies in the broad world of energy supply, we hope you find this issue of Frontiers to be both engaging and informative.
