The AI revolution isn't just digital. This article examines how geology underpins the convergence of AI, energy, carbon management, and the infrastructure powering frontier LLMs.
Winners of Alberta's Drilling Technology Challenge cover a range of technologies from robotics to enhance drilling rig safety to AI-enabled energy management, downhole sensing, well navigation, hybrid power systems, and geothermal energy.
Located along the North Sea, the Humber is expected to play a central role in the UK’s effort to achieve a net-zero emissions status by 2050.

Houston-based enhanced geothermal systems pioneer uses fracturing and other oil and gas technologies to stabilize power grids with zero-carbon renewable energy that doesn’t depend on the weather. -
Last month in North Dakota, over coffee and kuchen, my friend Dick shared his challenges with vague offers for leasing his pore space. As legal rulings and tax credits complicate the landscape, landowners face a murky world of deals. How can a proposed deal be determined as good or bad?
-
Despite more than 3 decades of intense focus on emissions issues, global emissions have only increased instead of going down. It’s imperative to question the efficacy, premises, practicality, and overlooked hurdles of current approaches.

This study describes a technique combining borehole acoustic reflection imaging with production logging in a horizontal well experiencing high water cut with the aim of enabling a mitigation plan.
-
This paper proposes two new methods of accelerating the solidification (or mineralization) of CO2 in subsurface conditions, thus accelerating the cycle of the CO2 storage process.
-
The aim of this study is to address and discuss the reservoir engineering aspects of geological hydrogen storage.
-
This paper examines the shortfalls of current CO2 capture and storage measures and their future within the context of increasing global consumption of fossil fuels.
-
A seismic prediction model is developed and presented in a case study to simulate the magnitude and timing of triggered seismic events with the intent to manage and mitigate environmental impacts resulting from induced seismicity during subsurface development activities.
-
Applications are open for the funding, which comes from the Inflation Reduction Act, for projects that help monitor, measure, quantify, and reduce methane emissions.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) recently conducted an inspection at the South Fork Wind project, the bureau’s first inspection of an operational offshore wind turbine in US waters.
