Energy transition
SPE member Sliviu Livescu has been chosen to receive the award in recognition of his groundbreaking contributions to next-generation, low-enthalpy geothermal energy systems, which are enabling widespread, cost-effective building heating and cooling solutions.
The authors state that issues faced by the Gorgon carbon capture and storage project primarily relate to risk and pressure management of the produced water from the Dupuy formation rather than from capture, transport, injection, and storage technologies.
The capability of modern wellbore surveying to increase asset value through improved subsurface modeling and completion-equipment placement is being overlooked by managers of operating companies.

One expert says there needs to be a transfer of safety culture from the traditional energy industry to the newer offshoot of renewables. -
The consortium will leverage the oil and gas industry's 100+ years of experience and technological developments in drilling and subsurface engineering to advance geothermal.

High energy prices and a greater focus on energy security will not slow the world’s long-term ambition for a low‑carbon future. However, annual analysis by DNV believes unprecedented pressure is reinforcing a two‑speed energy transition.

Several options exist for large-scale hydrogen underground storage: lined caverns, salt domes, saline aquifers, and depleted oil/gas reservoirs. In this paper, a commercial reservoir simulator was used to model cyclic injection/withdrawal from saline aquifers and depleted oil/gas reservoirs. The results revealed the need to contain the stored volume with an integrated…
