This work provides a new modeling tool, validated against a static-wellbore solver and field data, to estimate and manage downhole temperature in higher-temperature oil, gas, and geothermal wells.

The authors of this paper discuss deep closed-loop geothermal systems as an alternative to traditional enhanced geothermal systems for green energy production that is globally scalable and dispatchable.

The University of Texas at Austin leads new energy consortium in partnership with multiple entities from academia, national labs, and a research center for development of the Permian Energy Development Laboratory.

Geothermal energy is bidding to emerge from its dark horse status in Texas and become a possible solution of choice for some renewable applications.

The University of Texas at Austin will be home to a multidisciplinary research and education initiative, the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab, which aims to address the growing need for accurate, timely, and clear accounting of greenhouse-gas emissions across global oil and natural gas supply chains.

In this study, surfactants that can alter wettability or develop ultralow interfacial tension were identified through laboratory measurements for a target carbonate reservoir.

The industry is becoming increasingly complex, leading to changes in how universities approach education for undergraduate study.

New research links a rise in seismic activity in West Texas with increased oil and gas development over the past 20 years and, in particular, the past decade.

Fed by big data loads from big operators, a university consortium and software firm are each working to make upstream data access as quick and easy as a Google search.

A new university-led consortium aims to bring together industry and academia to help operators efficiently orchestrate the final days of deepwater developments.
