Energy transition
The Norwegian company has expanded its power-generating capacity in Brazil by acquiring a 230-MW onshore wind complex.
SPE’s newest technical community, the Critical Minerals Technical Section, aims to connect petroleum expertise with emerging opportunities to extract lithium, rare earth elements, and other critical minerals from subsurface reservoirs and industrial brines.
Initiative identified as the single highest-priority action to support geothermal capital market creation following a 2-year expert analysis of financial barriers to exponential-scale geothermal development.

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. -
The objective of this study is to numerically investigate system behavior when storing H2/natural gas (CH4) mixtures in aquifer-related underground gas storage, and the effect of gas composition and salinity on energy-recovery efficiency.
-
In the past year, publications on CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage have increasingly focused on the design, evaluation, and optimization of storage plans. These efforts encompass a broad spectrum of challenges and innovations, including the expansion of storage reservoirs from depleted gas fields and saline aquifers to stratified carbonate formations and heavy-o…

In this paper, the authors review and draw lessons from the many firsts in the Teesside CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure project.
-
The appraisal well in Utah confirmed a geothermal resource exceeding 555°F at a depth of approximately 11,200 ft.
-
The NLR has released its 2025 US Geothermal Market Report, documenting 4 years of industry growth and providing policymakers and stakeholders with an updated overview of the US geothermal market.
-
The report says the capacity of renewables in the region is set to grow tenfold by 2040 as electricity demand and new sectors drive rapid solar and wind expansion.
-
This study identifies critical knowledge gaps in wellbore integrity and underscores areas that require further investigation, providing insights into how wellbores must evolve to meet the technical demands of the energy transition.
-
This paper explores the evolving role of the digital petroleum engineer, examines the core technologies they use, assesses the challenges they face, and projects future industry trends.
-
This study illustrates the new capabilities, tailored for carbon-dioxide storage applications, of a modeling framework that provides a quantitative, risk-based assessment of the long-term integrity of legacy plugged and abandoned wells.
