energy transition

Long recognized as a pillar of US energy production, deepwater Gulf of Mexico could help provide the resources the world needs during the energy transition.

Amin Nasser said the European energy crisis is a direct result of underinvestment in the oil and gas industry and poor contingency planning.

This paper presents a summary of the results of a study of the potential for repurposing legacy oil and gas facilities in the Gulf of Mexico for uses in a blue economy.

The authors of this paper describe a holistic approach toward integrating alternative fuels and novel prime movers into life-cycle performance of offshore vessels.

The Russian/Ukrainian conflict has shown that a division between energy-transition rhetoric and reality can lead to profound global consequences by creating an imbalance in nations’ access to diverse flows of energy. The Energy Basket composition is determined by the demands and fluidity of the grid, as opposed to high-minded rhetoric.

While small modular reactors open doors to affordable, carbon-free nuclear power, they also raise new questions over waste disposal.

Partnerships flourish in offshore wind, while Equinor expands its renewables drive and solar companies in the US come together to shore up the supply chain ahead of increased demand.

The consequences of the Ukraine conflict could accelerate Germany's green energy transition despite Berlin's decision to reconnect coal-fired power plants to compensate for falling fossil fuel supplies from Russia, a study showed.

As the world tries to shift to renewable energy, the war in Ukraine has underscored the struggle for the minerals and metals required. The conflict illustrates that nations that pursue net-zero strategies will have to contend and account for “greenwalls,” energy-transition deterrents created by crises or geopolitical events.

Petroleum industry engineering and geoscience professionals must evolve both to meet the challenges of the energy transition and to continue to provide the feedstock for hydrocarbon-based products needed for a stable and robust economy. Petroleum engineering schools and geoscience programs have the opportunity to expand education and equip people with the critical exp…
