In a study that applied alternative carbon carrier technology to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scenarios, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin found that the new method recovered up to 19.5% more oil and stored up to 17.5% more carbon than conventional EOR methods.
The spring Unified Agenda provides a snapshot of efforts to advance the president’s plans for fossil fuel exploration and infrastructure.
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.

Risk is a common thread that runs throughout all engineering disciplines. This course aims to present how to understand and identify hazards, analyze risk, and understand the importance of a comprehensive management system. -
Recently published research suggests that carbon dioxide stored underground will stay there for millions of years.

Because diversity of aquatic animals is an indicator of safe and environmentally friendly operations, a pilot system has been launched that uses an underwater camera and artificial intelligence to observe aquatic animals around a platform.

The funding is for 33 research and development projects which will tackle the technical challenges of capturing CO2.

Harish Krishnamoorthy, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Houston, has been selected by the National Academies’ Gulf Research Program as an early-career research fellow in the Offshore Energy Safety track.

Under the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, enacted into law last year, companies must start producing precise measurements of their methane emissions next year and face fines if they exceed permissible levels. Yet, technology that might allow for precise methane measurements is still being developed.

Operator Horisont Energi finds a new partner in Spain’s Fertiberia, while Equinor and Vår seek alternatives.

The authors of this paper show the migration of a CO2 plume within a depleted carbonate reservoir and the expected effects of CO2 saturation and pressure buildups during injection on time lapse 4D seismic for conformance monitoring.
-
Carbon capture and storage, with the potential for usage, will be crucial if the world is to prevent global warming. While Norway has been injecting captured CO2 in saline aquifers since the mid-1990s, there has been no attempt, and no plans exist, in Europe to use CO2 for EOR. Why not?

At the center of a rush to build carbon storage is the state of Louisiana, where the number of applications to build long-term storage is equal to half the sites operating globally.
