This paper reviews a proof-of-concept project in which surplus casing pipes were used in the fabrication of purposefully designed artificial reef structures for the enhancement of biodiversity and commercial fisheries.
This work describes a study in which distributed data parallel training, paired with a node-local caching pipeline, enabled efficient multigraphics-processing-unit scaling for a CO₂-storage graph-neural-network surrogate while maintaining generalization.
This work uses a novel pseudosteady-state-based simulation to reduce training-data-generation cost while maintaining high-performance predictions of data-driven proxy models for carbon-sequestration projects.

Sustainable energy continues to grow as a focus for reliable, affordable, and secure energy as seen from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Three primary areas are being reported on heavily: carbon use for enhanced oil recovery, geological hydrogen discovery, and critical minerals from the subsurface. -
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
-
This paper explores the development of direct-lithium-extraction technologies designed to recover lithium from unconventional feedstocks.
-
This study applies Monte Carlo simulation and an XGBoost regression model to assess the influence of various formations, geologic provinces, tectonic-plate types, and boundary conditions on hydrogen concentrations.

The US federal government is working to stymie offshore wind power, but proponents aren’t going quietly. Armed with data, they are taking on a sea of misinformation and hostility to defend the burgeoning resource in the US, while the rest of the world moves ahead briskly.

Ultradeepwater prospects along the northern coast of Brazil could help offset decline in legacy basins, though permitting hurdles remain a wild card.
-
A new Xodus report finds that scaling CCS across Europe will require significant investment in dedicated CO2 shipping, port infrastructure, and hybrid transport systems—projecting a fleet of about 65 vessels, 33 ports, and rapidly increasing emissions transport by 2050.

Barzan plant explosion that killed 13 and injured 66 occurred 2 days after production was restarted following a scheduled shutdown in December for routine maintenance.
-
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommend continued state and federal funding, data-sharing, and new technologies to mitigate the risks posed by orphan wells.

The Pinnington project in North Texas is the company’s largest solar project in the state and brings Repsol’s renewable energy generation capacity in the US to greater than 2 GW.
