Decarbonization
This work describes a study in which distributed data parallel training, paired with a node-local caching pipeline, enabled efficient multigraphics-processing-unit scaling for a CO₂-storage graph-neural-network surrogate while maintaining generalization.
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.
Sustainable energy continues to grow as a focus for reliable, affordable, and secure energy as seen from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Three primary areas are being reported on heavily: carbon use for enhanced oil recovery, geological hydrogen discovery, and critical minerals from the subsurface.

Occidental Petroleum is considered one of the upstream industry’s most dynamic companies after making major investments to boost oil and gas production while also scaling up low-carbon technologies. -
A just-launched publicly available database translates reserves and production data into greenhouse-gas emissions as CO2 equivalents. It was built using data from more than 50,000 fields in 89 countries, which covers about 75% of global reserves, production, and emissions.

Texas and Louisiana are stepping up efforts to assume regulatory authority for an emerging wave of carbon capture and storage projects.
-
The $3.8-billion campaign will result in the delivery of power and decarbonization of ADNOC’s offshore production operations.
-
The CStore1 project aims to prove that floating storage and injection facilities are competitive with pipelines and fixed offshore infrastructure.
-
The Biden administration seeks to cut the cost of enhanced geothermal systems by 90% by 2035.
-
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 Gulf’s offshore wind future is no breezy affair as governments and industries must work together to meet lofty goals.
