Energy transition
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO2 capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO2 concentrations.
This study explores the carbon-capture and mineralization potential of ultramafic rock powders when exposed to flue gases generated from combustion of crude oil and mesquite-derived charcoal.
This paper introduces channel stacking, a novel and efficient methodology designed to significantly improve optical gas imaging-based leak detection.

The assumption of lower emissions from natural gas only holds true when the methane leaks and flaring are addressed. Mitigation of methane emissions offers an opportunity for the oil and gas industry to drastically reduce overall emissions that are typically reported on a CO2-equivalent basis. Some producers opt to showcase their good performance via voluntary certifi… -
Partnerships flourish in offshore wind, while Equinor expands its renewables drive and solar companies in the US come together to shore up the supply chain ahead of increased demand.

Using CO2 as the geothermal power fluid to generate electricity from low-temperature abandoned hydrocarbon wells can help reduce well costs and optimize energy production. In this paper, a previously developed coupled well/reservoir model is extended to study the effects of fluid properties on thermal output.

As the world tries to shift to renewable energy, the war in Ukraine has underscored the struggle for the minerals and metals required. The conflict illustrates that nations that pursue net-zero strategies will have to contend and account for “greenwalls,” energy-transition deterrents created by crises or geopolitical events.

The company has renamed itself Orrön Energy and will be a pure-play renewables business. Lundin's E&P business was transferred to Aker BP, closing a $14-billion deal announced in December 2021.

Energy transition in the UK will require absolute commitment to projects and deadlines. A slower pace of the development of energy transition projects will be less able to support the supply-chain critical mass so essential to reaching net zero.

The second plenary session at URTeC this week highlighted the stark reality of both knowns and unknowns oil companies must face in the race to a carbon-free future.

Plenary panelists at URTeC offer possibilities as society looks to bridge today’s reality of hydrocarbon usage with tomorrow’s promise of carbon-free energy.

Petroleum industry engineering and geoscience professionals must evolve both to meet the challenges of the energy transition and to continue to provide the feedstock for hydrocarbon-based products needed for a stable and robust economy. Petroleum engineering schools and geoscience programs have the opportunity to expand education and equip people with the critical exp…
