HSE & Sustainability
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.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in crude oil can be released to the atmosphere from storage tanks, waste waters, and equipment leaks. A pilot-scale sequential biotrickling/biofiltration unit was designed and tested for removal of VOCs from a wastewater sump. -
Sourcing water for hydraulic fracturing, and disposing of produced water, are constraints and significant cost items in the Permian Basin. Some of the produced water can be treated and reused by using a water life cycle approach..

Finding water for hydraulic fracturing and then finding a use for it when it flows back are critical engineering problems to solve in the booming Permian Basin.

This paper describes a coreflooding program performed with sandpacks at different permeabilities, water qualities, and injection conditions.
-
A key component of sustainability is human lifestyle—meeting not just the basics, but for all people to have the opportunity to grow, develop, and prosper.
