Energy transition
The power-purchase agreement (PPA) marks largest enhanced geothermal PPA and is expected to accelerate the delivery of continuous, carbon-free power from the Cape Station GeoCluster in Utah.
This guest editorial addresses the many capacities in which oil and gas technical professionals can play a role advancing the energy technologies of tomorrow.
With millions of wells having been drilled in the US since the beginning of the oil age, the land is pocked with old, unused wellbores. For most, repurposing is a pipe dream. Plugging is the best option.
