Energy transition
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.
Geothermal development is gaining steam and entering a transformative era, driven by breakthroughs in adapting and improving on engineering, drilling, completion, and production technologies to the efficient extraction of heat from the Earth.

In the world of wind, Equinor has postponed its initiative indefinitely while Repsol moves ahead in Italy, and Portugal plans to auction offshore leases for wind farms. -
The innovations in the carbon removal space are gaining attention for their potential to curb global climate change, but they each face particular challenges in implementation.

A look at recent first‑quarter results reminds us that there is no such thing as a constant trend in our industry. Continual recalibration of companies’ activities aim to obtain positive financial results in the traditional oil and gas business while devoting efforts in a practical way to both mitigate climate change issues and to develop new forms of energy.
-
No one expected the transition to be without hiccups, and recently, those hiccups have been heard within and outside the oil and gas industry.

The US supermajor is said to have struck a deal that may make it a major supplier of lithium, which is needed to expand the US electric vehicle market.
-
Premier Corex and Teverra will be combining their efforts to aggregate data for companies involved in large-scale geothermal projects.
-
SPE Journal has issued a call for papers for the 11th Comparative Solution Project (CSP) Special Issue. Organized by guest editors Anthony Kovscek (Stanford University) and Knut-Andreas Lie (SINTEF), submissions that are both directly and indirectly related to the 11th CSP will be accepted.

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.
