Advancements in CCUS Technologies for Sustainable Development in the Oil and Gas Industry

This study examines the adoption of Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) technologies in the oil and gas industry. Primary data were collected from industry professionals using a structured questionnaire distributed to 760 participants, with 700 valid responses analysed using SPSS (version 27). Secondary sources supported and validated the primary findings. The research focuses on three key areas: the perceived effectiveness of CCUS in reducing carbon emissions, the economic implications of CCUS deployment, and the opportunities and challenges associated with implementation. Inferential statistical techniques, including regression analysis and MANOVA, were applied to assess relationships between CCUS adoption and industry perceptions. The results indicate a statistically significant, although modest, positive relationship between CCUS adoption and perceived environmental and economic benefits. High capital costs, regulatory uncertainty, and technical complexity were identified as major barriers to wider deployment. Key opportunities include government incentives, innovation in capture and storage technologies, and increased industry collaboration. Overall, the findings suggest that CCUS is recognised as a critical tool for decarbonisation and long-term sustainability in the oil and gas sector. However, wider adoption will require stronger regulatory frameworks, financial support mechanisms, and continued technological progress. These insights provide valuable guidance for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers seeking to accelerate low carbon innovation and strategic energy transition planning.
