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.

The first step to ensuring the safety of oil and gas workers is to have a comprehensive safety program in place. This includes frequent employee training, detailed equipment inspections, and detailed safety procedures everyone follows. -
The University of Texas at Austin will be home to a multidisciplinary research and education initiative, the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab, which aims to address the growing need for accurate, timely, and clear accounting of greenhouse-gas emissions across global oil and natural gas supply chains.

With growing trade of liquefied natural gas (LNG), an increased diversification of LNG supply sources may occur in the LNG tanks as different compositions of LNG are stored in the tanks. It is the primary concern in terms of assuring stability and safety in LNG storage.

US Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland issued an order to establish an office to ensure efficient use of the Biden administration's $4.7 billion investment in the cleanup of abandoned oil and gas wells.

The past year has been a challenging one for companies on the ESG front. Overlapping environmental, social, and political crises—from flooding and wildfires to the first war in Europe in 80 years—have made the jobs of leaders that much harder.
-
California soon will have the largest oil drilling setbacks in the US. Experts say other states can learn from this move.
-
The sites with the most CO2 emissions to capture are often far from the best rock to sequester it, leading to design projects for transport ships.
-
A methane-quantification tool was developed by Petronas on the basis of applicable methane sources listed in guidelines produced by the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative.
-
At a time when there are many models vying to be the one used to evaluate and plan carbon storage sites, the US Department of Energy wants to test one developed by SPE members.
-
A critical challenge for those designing carbon dioxide storage sites is predicting where the injected gas will go. One of the only sure bets is to assume that any model of a gas plume that looks symmetrical is likely wrong.
