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.

The energy transition may drive a massive increase in renewable-power capacity in the electric market, but global demand growth is expected to be so strong, liquid fuel consumption could also be much higher in 2050. -
Flow rate is a major challenge for geothermal. However, the techniques used in shale to prevent flow localization can be applied directly to geothermal. If we can create hundreds or thousands of flowing fracture pathways around a horizontal or deviated geothermal well, then we will have truly “changed the game.”

Electric-powered fracturing fleets looked impressively resilient in 2020 amid what was otherwise a significant collapse for the hydraulic fracturing sector. Today, the situation is more complicated.

Kamel Ben-Naceur sees petroleum engineering as essential to the energy transition not only because of the continued role that oil and gas will play in the energy mix moving forward but also because the skills of the profession are foundational and transferable.

Tracking the Energy Transition: The Decarbonization Puzzle, the Power of Wine, and Hydrogen on TrackMajor energy companies are tapping into wine residues, used cooking oil, and waste animal fat to produce biofuels. Retooling to meet clean energy goals dominated the first day of the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition. And the US and European Union launched a global methane reduction pact that has climate advocates breathing a sigh of relief just weeks bef…

This paper provides an overview on low-carbon-intensity technologies that are instrumental to the decarbonization of the energy industry. While hydrogen is the most promising low-carbon-intensity energy vector, substitute natural gas is the most promising and immediate solution among the hydrocarbon-based fuels.
