Decarbonization
The AI revolution isn't just digital. This article examines how geology underpins the convergence of AI, energy, carbon management, and the infrastructure powering frontier LLMs.
Winners of Alberta's Drilling Technology Challenge cover a range of technologies from robotics to enhance drilling rig safety to AI-enabled energy management, downhole sensing, well navigation, hybrid power systems, and geothermal energy.
Located along the North Sea, the Humber is expected to play a central role in the UK’s effort to achieve a net-zero emissions status by 2050.

Pending US Law Offers Big Boost to CO2 Storage Credits in Exchange for New Fees on Methane EmissionsUsing a carrot-and-stick approach, the US federal government is poised to spur the nation's oil and gas industry into doing more to combat emissions. -
The assumption of lower emissions from natural gas only holds true when the methane leaks and flaring are addressed. Mitigation of methane emissions offers an opportunity for the oil and gas industry to drastically reduce overall emissions that are typically reported on a CO2-equivalent basis. Some producers opt to showcase their good performance via voluntary certifi…

Is seaweed farming a viable alternative to industrial-scale carbon capture and storage? This 3-year project off the coast of Norway aims to find out.
-
While small modular reactors open doors to affordable, carbon-free nuclear power, they also raise new questions over waste disposal.
-
It's not just about how much resource is left in the ground. The world's super basins will also need ample access to renewable energy and carbon storage in order to remain competitive in the upcoming decades.

Using CO2 as the geothermal power fluid to generate electricity from low-temperature abandoned hydrocarbon wells can help reduce well costs and optimize energy production. In this paper, a previously developed coupled well/reservoir model is extended to study the effects of fluid properties on thermal output.

Neptune Energy, ExxonMobil, Rosewood, and EBN have agreed to cooperate on the L10 Carbon Capture and Storage project in the Dutch North Sea.
-
Chevron assets in Texas and Colorado have earned high marks for control of methane emissions under a pilot program with Project Canary, paving the way for its sale of responsibly sourced gas.

Energy transition in the UK will require absolute commitment to projects and deadlines. A slower pace of the development of energy transition projects will be less able to support the supply-chain critical mass so essential to reaching net zero.
