Energy transition
A new Eni/Petronas venture is targeting 500,000 BOE/D in output from combined upstream portfolios across Malaysia and Indonesia.
2025 has seen an 81% year-on-year rise in the number of small modular reactor designs to have secured at least one source of funding or a funding commitment.
The global oilfield service company is working with Ormat Technologies to boost its integrated geothermal business.

The second plenary session at URTeC this week highlighted the stark reality of both knowns and unknowns oil companies must face in the race to a carbon-free future. -
Plenary panelists at URTeC offer possibilities as society looks to bridge today’s reality of hydrocarbon usage with tomorrow’s promise of carbon-free energy.
-
Petroleum industry engineering and geoscience professionals must evolve both to meet the challenges of the energy transition and to continue to provide the feedstock for hydrocarbon-based products needed for a stable and robust economy. Petroleum engineering schools and geoscience programs have the opportunity to expand education and equip people with the critical exp…

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.
