The loan to Arena Energy will generate an estimated 38,600 B/D in new production from 22 platforms in the Gulf.

Operators struggle to understand proppant placement beyond the fracture, and that’s the information that could be the key to boosting EUR.

High-risk, high-reward projects focused on stimulation, enhanced recovery, and field-scale deployment are eligible under the DOE’s new UNLOCK initiative.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas’ third-quarter energy survey reflects industry views on the drawdown of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the outlook for Persian Gulf crude exports, and expectations for oil prices.

With funding opportunities improving, developers and researchers are focused on shortening project learning cycles and reducing uncertainty to attract more capital and speed deployment.

The US Department of Energy has awarded more than $99 million to 21 projects that will advance geothermal development through field-scale testing of next-generation technologies and exploration drilling programs across the US.

More than a dozen companies have joined the advisory board of a new US Department of Energy center dedicated to expanding geothermal energy in the US.

The DOE-backed EGS-Twin project aims to simulate geothermal production systems, helping operators better predict performance and maximize output.

Two new US Department of Energy funding programs focus on improving shale recovery, mitigating produced-water risks, managing sour gas, and enhancing facility efficiency.

This work uses a novel pseudosteady-state-based simulation to reduce training-data-generation cost while maintaining high-performance predictions of data-driven proxy models for carbon-sequestration projects.
