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 workflow with multiobjective optimization techniques to assess the integration of pressure-management methodologies for permanent geological carbon dioxide storage in saline aquifers.

On 20 April 2010, a blowout on the Deepwater Horizon, drilling at the Macondo prospect in the Gulf of Mexico, killed 11 crew and caused a major oil spill. The accident and spill forever changed the industry. -
A US judge canceled a key permit for the Keystone XL oil pipeline that is expected to stretch from Canada to Nebraska, another setback for the disputed project that got under way only recently following years of delays.
-
A preliminary estimate from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration finds that levels of atmospheric methane, a potent heat-trapping gas, have hit an all-time high.
-
As studies point to increased emissions, ExxonMobil is stepping up efforts to detect and mitigate methane release.
-
The county commissioners approved regulations for new oil and gas facilities in the county that match or exceed state rules.

The combined effect of COVID-19 and an ongoing oil price war has ushered in one of the worst downturns for the energy industry in modern history. Yet, a bright side is shining through; flaring levels in the Permian Basin have fallen sharply and will continue to decline, a Rystad Energy report shows.
-
The new group, the Texas Methane and Flaring Coalition, will also use data and other evidence to communicate why and when flaring is necessary.
-
The oil and gas industry recognized the value of UASs a few years ago, and now the industry and oil-spill-response organizations around the world are looking at ways to use UAS technology to have “eyes in the sky” to support spill responses and explore the safety, efficiency, and cost benefits.

A federal judge ordered the US Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a full environmental review of the Dakota Access pipeline, nearly 3 years after it began carrying oil despite protests by people who gathered in North Dakota for more than a year.
-
Flaring has roughly tripled in 2 years in the Permian. As flaring has skyrocketed, so have the calls to curb it. But there is little agreement on how that should be done.
