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.

Data science plays an increasing role in the fight against climate change. As we use data science to develop innovative solutions to climate change, we should be careful not to replicate, or worsen, existing inequities—or create new ones. -
The impact of COVID-19 on the global economy, and thus its oil and gas consumption habits, is seen as less severe in the supermajor's latest annual outlook.

Billed as the world’s longest AC power-from-shore project, Aker BP’s NOA Fulla field and Equinor’s Krafla field in the North Sea will be powered from the mainland by renewable hydropower.

The energy transition and digitalization transition are not to be feared. While the rate of change will accelerate, very little of true value will be lost and the transitions instead offer a variety of incremental opportunities, especially for members of the production and facilities community.

Criterion Energy Partners' immediate focus is to deliver direct heat and power to industrial customers in the Texas Gulf Coast region.

During a fireside chat on SPE Live, Iman Hill, the executive director of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers, discussed market recovery, the energy transition, diversity in the oil and gas industry, and the future of the industry.

The two companies will work to retrofit nonproducing wells for geothermal production and scale GreenFire Energy’s closed-loop advanced geothermal systems.

Not so long ago, defining green energy was straightforward: renewables. It may not have been quite that simple, but developing agreed-upon definitions based on science has become much more complex and contentious.
-
The second-largest oil and gas producer in the US says the deal will help meet its goal to produce 100,000 B/D of renewable fuel products by decade's end.

It seems obvious that to manage the reduction of methane emissions an operator needs to measure the emissions, report them accurately, and then take action to mitigate them. But what might seem obvious gets tricky: Just what matters, and how can an operator efficiently and accurately measure those factors?
