Growing energy transition investment highlights oil and gas technologies as key enablers.
EERC CEO Charles Gorecki outlines how applied research in North Dakota is helping improve oil recovery, reduce emissions, and advance carbon storage.
2025 has seen an 81% year-on-year rise in the number of small modular reactor (SMR) designs to have secured at least one source of funding or a funding commitment.

But no one appears really happy with the cumulative impact rules lauded by the Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission as “a big step forward.” -
Consulting and engineering firm Wood is leading a joint industry partnership to create industry guidelines for carbon dioxide specifications to accelerate sustainable carbon capture, use, and storage projects.
-
The financial losses come from reduced productivity, high employee turnover, or the loss of skilled labor as a direct result of unmanaged mental health challenges.
-
The presence of marine mammals during offshore infrastructure work is a major environmental concern. To safeguard species and their natural habitats, more and more local legislation imposes a cap on sound levels from offshore activities.
-
The increase in flaring emissions was led by operations in the Middle East, Africa, and Russia.
-
The $220-million carbon capture and storage project is one of the world's largest, with a nameplate injection capacity of 1.7 mtpa.
-
The agreement with state officials comes more than 3 years after the supermajor proposed building the world's largest carbon storage hub offshore the Houston area.
-
DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook 2024 projects continued growth in solar; slower growth in wind; and declines in coal, oil, and gas, while hydrogen and carbon capture projects are struggling.
-
Radioactive elements occur naturally at low levels in oil and gas basins. As oil and gas is extracted, these elements can accumulate in infrastructure. Now, scientists in Australia are investigating the toxicity of different radiation doses to marine organisms.
-
Occidental’s 1PointFive will receive up to $500 million from the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations for the carbon-capture facility in south Texas.
