Energy transition
The startup company’s Midland Basin demonstration plant, located in the Permian Basin, takes a major step toward commercialization by proving its direct lithium extraction technology can refine battery-grade lithium carbonate from produced water under multiple 24/7 production cycles.
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.

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.
