A lawsuit filed in the Bay Area represents a looming issue for thousands of idled oil and gas wells.

A recent survey sponsored by ABS Group revealed that 45% of participants estimate the threats to their control systems are high and another 15% said they were severe or critical.

The two companies will work to retrofit nonproducing wells for geothermal production and scale GreenFire Energy’s closed-loop advanced geothermal systems.

The 31-member group approved its fourth coordinated release since 1974 in response to the looming supply disruptions caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

How is it possible that, in the 30 years since the international oil and gas industry declared a commitment to eradicate the unthinkable, catastrophic events continued to occur—especially in light of so much evidence being on hand asserting overall HSE performance improvements? This paper addresses this clear conundrum and submits that there are essentially three prin…

Is it possible to predict future petroleum engineering graduation rates based on past trends? The answer is no. But this discussion by experts in both analysis and academia shows those trends can offer some interesting insights.

Skyrocketing demand for the commodity has created a lithium deficit that could slow the pace of the energy transition. Industry is scrambling to find new sources by opening new mines or devising new technologies to extract lithium from brines, including brines found in produced water from oil and gas operations.

Stunningly ambitious plans to create global carbon capture and storage that rivals the scale of today’s oil and gas production will require a host of technical skills to determine if it is even possible.

The authors of this paper present a method for prediction of sucker-rod-pump failure based on improved, completely connected perceptron artificial neural networks.

The enrollment trend in petroleum engineering programs continues downward, but a big increase in oil prices has resurrected thoughts of past enrollment booms.

The paper assesses the feasibility of using a genetic-algorithm technique to optimize allocation of continuous gas lift injection rate in a network system of a Middle Eastern oil field.

The paper describes a project automating the progressing-cavity-pump well-modeling process wherein models are built and sustained automatically in a well-management system for all active PCP wells.
