energy transition

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.

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…

Opportunities are created at the intersection of two important energy problems—the need for large-scale, long-term energy storage systems and effective end-of-life field management of historical oil and gas assets. This paper presents a hyperscale energy-storage solution using repurposed idle oil and gas wells to store energy in subsurface saline aquifers.

This study provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of renewable-energy resources, energy-transition efforts, and the future of conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources in California.

Senior Vice President Starlee Sykes told an audience at the Offshore Technology Conference that low-carbon barrels from the company's domestic offshore portfolio will help fund its transition plans.

Seven years, and we’re on track to exceed the 1.5°C target established by the Paris Agreement in 2015 to limit global warming by 2030. Instead, we may be turning up the heat to 3.0°C. And in this case, doubling the wager does not hold potential for greater rewards. A recent report addressed the costs of technologies for emissions mitigation and their likelihood of mak…

New to the exhibit floor this year, the Energy Transition Pavilion will present advancements in alternative energy sources and the technology being developed to decarbonize, drive sustainability, and improve energy efficiency.
