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.

The world’s major fossil fuel producers are set to bust global environmental goals with excessive coal, oil, and gas extraction in the next decade, the United Nations and research groups said in the latest warning over climate crisis.

Large-scale subsea infrastructure is a feature of the world’s territorial seas, with much of it associated with oil and gas. Research on fish and fisheries interacting with subsea infrastructure, however, has been limited. This paper presents research on fish species associated with pipelines.

The US House’s subcommittee on Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies recently heard testimony on the Department of Energy’s role in addressing climate change.

New research links a rise in seismic activity in West Texas with increased oil and gas development over the past 20 years and, in particular, the past decade.

Across the West, thousands of oil and gas wells sit idle on federal lands, and many are orphaned with the companies that drilled them now defunct. These orphaned wells can pose environmental and safety hazards, but, as critics note, the Bureau of Land Management does not have a good way of tracking

Methane emissions from California garbage dumps far surpass emissions from oil fields, according to a NASA survey.
-
New Mexico released data on excess greenhouse emissions from oil and gas operations to keep the public informed of the problem, as the state continues to develop stricter policies to regulate air pollution from the industry and other sources.

A federal judge on 16 October blocked the Trump administration’s plan to ease protections for an iconic bird that makes its home on millions of acres of oil- and gas-rich sagebrush lands, dealing a blow to government efforts to allow more drilling, mining, and logging in the west.

The energy major said it plans to reduce emission intensity by 5–10% for upstream oil production and by 2–5% for upstream gas.

Ireland’s decision to end fossil fuel exploration, which was announced by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar at the recent UN climate summit, means the republic is among the first countries in the world to get out of oil and gas production.
