Energy transition
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.
The DOE-backed EGS-Twin project aims to simulate geothermal production systems, helping operators better predict performance and maximize output.

Geothermal energy is bidding to emerge from its dark horse status in Texas and become a possible solution of choice for some renewable applications. -
Wind projects take center stage around the world, while Canada finalizes a geothermal energy project. In Finland, construction begins on the country’s first industrial-scale green hydrogen facility.
-
Wood Mackenzie said "advantaged barrels" that are cheap to extract and with low emissions represent less than a third of untapped resources.
-
New funding aims to launch up to seven pilots to help expand the deployment of enhanced geothermal systems.
-
The funding is for 33 research and development projects which will tackle the technical challenges of capturing CO2.
-
The use of artificial intelligence in the clean energy sector increases the availability and accessibility of clean energy, making it a more viable and cost-effective alternative to traditional energy sources.
-
When it comes to workers’ salaries in oil and gas vs. clean energy, how does their compensation compare? The answer depends on the roles of workers and their locations, qualifications, experience, training—and personal decisions.
-
At the center of a rush to build carbon storage is the state of Louisiana, where the number of applications to build long-term storage is equal to half the sites operating globally.
-
Fossil fuel importers could move more quickly to renewables as a domestic alternative to buffer the impact of energy supply disruptions and rising prices.
-
A new 1.0 Bcf/D facility in Baytown, Texas, is expected online no later than 2028.
