Energy transition
This paper reviews the simultaneous supercritical CO2/brine aquifer injection and water-alternating-gas methods for geologic carbon sequestration and proposes a novel integration with saltwater-disposal wells.
This paper provides an account of the design, implementation, and operational insights from an enhanced geothermal system proppant stimulation targeting a volcanic, dry rock setting with an approximately 330°C bottomhole temperature.
This study evaluates the feasibility of drilling a closed-loop, unconventional geothermal system in the Pannonian Basin basement of Romania.
