This research aims to harness the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning and large language models, to develop a comprehensive system for detecting and explaining oil spills.
This paper presents a physics-informed machine learning method that enhances the accuracy of pressure transient analysis, predicting reservoir properties to enhance waste slurry injection and waste disposal.
This paper presents a novel methodology for assessing the rapid mineral carbonation of carbon dioxide through geochemical interactions with carbon-, magnesium-, and iron-rich minerals abundant in geological formations.

Tropical storms severely affect oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico, especially during the storm season from June to December. Offshore well managers often need to shut down operations and evacuate the facility because of storm alerts. The purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of storms on production by quantifying metrics such as downtime days and… -
The US Fish and Wildlife Service proposal to list the lesser prairie chicken under the Endangered Species Act could impose restrictions on drilling in the Permian Basin.

Acknowledging the necessity to better understand treatment needs, economic challenges, and public health and environmental risks of industry’s waste water, the Texas Legislature recently passed Senate Bill 601, establishing a Texas Produced Water Consortium.

The list of potential bidders for Norway’s first tender for offshore wind farm licenses is long. More than two dozen companies and joint ventures from throughout Europe are likely to participate in the tender planned for later this year.

Drilling at remote sites comes with challenges, not least of which is drilling-waste management. Drill cuttings traditionally are the focus of attention, and a solution is available to treat this waste stream at source. In many projects, however, slop waste and, in some cases, conductor drilling waste is also generated. This paper outlines how a single process using m…

Robert K. Perrons, a professor at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, recently addressed the United Nations on the role of oil and gas in the global energy mix.

Victories by climate activists targeting Shell and Exxon Mobil have packed a strong punch. What does this foretell for the next round in the climate debate?

No single silver bullet exists to wipe out methane emissions generated by upstream oil and gas activities. Experts at a recent forum discussed an array of technologies and strategies to help the industry make smart decisions to measure, monitor, and mitigate emissions of the potent greenhouse gas.
