Yet, an effort to do so is taking place in West Texas in the heart of the Permian Basin. Here, two operators have received state permits to build small, modular refineries to process the light, sweet crude from shale formations with emissions that are roughly 95-percent lower than those from the average Gulf Coast refinery. Taking advantage of their location – where oil is produced and its finished products are needed – these operators have capitalized on the opportunity to build their own refineries from scratch, complete with carbon capture technology, and become some of the cleanest refineries in the country. </p></div></div><a class='show-more'>Show more</a> </div> <meta itemprop="inLanguage" content="English"> <span style="display: none;" itemprop="publisher" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Organization"> <span itemprop="name">American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)</span> <meta itemprop="logo" content="https://img.aapg.org/Portals/0/images/_site/AAPG-logo-footer.png"> </span> <div class="morelink">Added on <span itemprop="datePublished" class="schema">01 February, 2023</span></div> </div>  <div class="list-with-images explorer-articles dnnClear" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Article">  <div class="litImage Explorer Emphasis Article 1plus4 Rotation Astrogeology Astrogeology Clastics Data & Analytics Data acquisition Data processing Emerging Technology Geochemistry Imaging and Analytics Member Sedimentology and Stratigraphy Student " style="position: relative;"> <a href='https://www.aapg.org/publications/news/explorer/emphasis/articleid/64477' > <div class="image-overlay "></div> <noscript data-slimmage>  <img itemprop="image" class=" lazy " data-original="/Portals/0/PackFlashItemImages/WebReady/exploring-for-signs-of-life-hero.jpg?width=200&height=200&mode=crop&anchor=middlecenter&encoder=freeimage&progressive=true&quality=90&scale=both&bgcolor=ffffff" src="/portals/0/PackFlashItemImages/WebReady/exploring-for-signs-of-life-hero.jpg?width=200&height=200&mode=crop&anchor=middlecenter&encoder=freeimage&progressive=true&quality=90&scale=both&bgcolor=ffffff" alt="AAPG"> </noscript> </a> </div> <div class="text Explorer Emphasis Article 1plus4 Rotation Astrogeology Astrogeology Clastics Data & Analytics Data acquisition Data processing Emerging Technology Geochemistry Imaging and Analytics Member Sedimentology and Stratigraphy Student " id="pfid_64477"> <div class="author content-type" style="margin-bottom: 0px;"> <span class="content-type">Explorer Emphasis Article</span> <span itemprop="author">By Doug Cook</span> </div> <div class="h5" itemprop="headline"> <a itemprop="url" href='https://www.aapg.org/publications/news/explorer/emphasis/articleid/64477' >Exploring for Signs of Life in the Outer Solar System</a> </div>  <div class="show-more-snippet fade"><div class="summary" itemprop="description"><p>Human exploration of the Earth and our universe is pushing ever-expanding boundaries.
