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.

Nearly 90% of geothermal capacity built since 2000 is binary cycle. -
Supermajor announces actions to achieve net-zero ambition and reshape business. It also noted that it will not seek to explore in countries where it does not already have upstream activities.

Hydrogen is big news, and not for the first time. But this time could be different. This article looks at the current state of enabling technology, obstacles to a hydrogen economy, and signs that the hydrogen economy could be emerging.
-
Oil and gas are not the only things in the ground that can power our lives. Heat in the form of geothermal energy is rapidly taking its place alongside other sources of renewable energy, buoyed by the lessons learned from decades of drilling for oil.
-
Around $90 billion, or 40% of the revenue from the top 50 players in the global service market, could potentially be replaced by energy transition projects, such as clean energy infrastructure and renewable energy production development services.
-
The goal of the platform is to connect technologies to operators, developers, and end users in the UK oil, gas, and renewable energy sectors and be the catalyst for rapid technology deployment.
-
Hydrogen from fossil fuels is not only an easier way to pivot to clean energy than going full-on renewables; it could also establish new businesses and generate tremendous revenue by leveraging the oil and gas industry’s existing knowledge and expertise.

Exploration is widely perceived as discretionary, even unwarranted. A report from Wood Mackenzie, however, presented a different scene. Only about half the supply needed to reach 2040 is guaranteed from fields already on stream, it said. The rest requires new capital investment and is up for grabs.
