Energy transition
This guest editorial addresses the need for high-temperature directional drilling technologies as the number of rigs used to develop next-generation geothermal wells is set to rise in the coming years.
This paper explores the development of direct-lithium-extraction technologies designed to recover lithium from unconventional feedstocks.
This study applies Monte Carlo simulation and an XGBoost regression model to assess the influence of various formations, geologic provinces, tectonic-plate types, and boundary conditions on hydrogen concentrations.

Sempra lands partners for a CCS deal in Louisiana, while Shell eyes newbuild ships for CCS transport. An offshore alliance targets floating wind technology, and global hydrogen projects gain momentum in the UAE, Africa, and Brazil. -
TotalEnergies has purchased a 25% stake in India’s Adani New Industries Ltd., creating a partnership to produce and commercialize green hydrogen globally.
-
In a new report from DNV, global hydrogen production is projected to increase by an order of magnitude from 2030 to 2050. But it will still not be enough to satisfy net-zero targets.

Hitting the next well during fracturing happens all the time. Predictably doing that on a large scale in granite looks a lot harder.
-
NASA, the European Space Agency, and the British government are reconsidering an old idea to beam space-based solar energy to Earth in light of new technologies that might lead to commercial feasibility.

Opportunities are created at the intersection of two important energy problems—the need for large-scale, long-term energy storage systems and effective end-of-life field management of historical oil and gas assets. This paper presents a hyperscale energy-storage solution using repurposed idle oil and gas wells to store energy in subsurface saline aquifers.
-
The drilling of wells in shale and granite shares a common need—faster drilling is required to make it work.
-
By turning its back on Russian oil and gas, will Europe speed up or slow down its energy transition, and what will be the impact on global climate change?
-
A group of 10 Republican states had petitioned the court to restrain the Biden administration from using the metric while their legal challenge was moving through the court system. The court denied that request in a one-line order but did not rule on the legality of the metric itself.

This study provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of renewable-energy resources, energy-transition efforts, and the future of conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources in California.
