This edition of Energy Tech Review examines how practical chemistry, applied at the point of waste generation, is reshaping remediation standards and liability outcomes across the sector.Our cover story recognises Evergreen Chemical Solutions as the Top Oil and Gas Chemical Remediation Solution 2026. Evergreen has redefined remediation by treating hydrocarbons in situ rather than exporting risk offsite. Its proprietary EverGreen 12 formulation uses water-based, nonionic surfactant chemistry to break hydrocarbons into stable microemulsions, enabling natural biodegradation without caustic reactions, added microbes or heavy equipment.By converting hazardous drilling waste into non-hazardous material within weeks, Evergreen has delivered measurable reductions in transport exposure, safety risk, and disposal costs, while consistently driving oil-on-cuttings levels to around 1 percent or less. The result is a scalable, repeatable remediation model that closes the loop at the wellsite and materially shortens environmental closure timelines.CXO perspectives add further depth. Jeremy Angelle, VP of Well Construction at Expro [NYSE: XPRO], outlines a structured framework for quantifying value in drilling automation, anchored in safety, well integrity, efficiency and reliability. His analysis demonstrates how disciplined evaluation converts technology adoption from risk into measurable return.Enoch Charles, Information Technology ­ Smart Grid Transport Manager at CenterPoint Energy [NYSE: CNP], examines how intelligent, resilient networks strengthen future energy systems, emphasising reliability, security and human-centric design as non-negotiable foundations.Together, these contributions highlight that leadership in today's energy sector is defined by solutions that are technically sound, operationally proven, and accountable throughout their lifecycle. We invite readers to explore this issue in detail and engage with the ideas shaping the next phase of responsible energy operations.Let us know your thoughts!Charlotte SmithManaging Editoreditor@energytechreview.comRethinking Chemical Remediation in Energy*Some of the Insights are based on our interviews with CIOs and CXOsVisualizersMichael WayneChris LynnManaging EditorCharlotte SmithEditorial StaffAaron Pierce Ava GarciaVian IsaacAbner LawrenceEmailsales@energytechreview.comeditor@energytechreview.commarketing@energytechreview.comJoshua Parker Kenny Peruzzi
