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.

A new generation of detectors will be many times better at tracking discharges of the dangerous greenhouse gas. -
The energy transition and digitalization transition are not to be feared. While the rate of change will accelerate, very little of true value will be lost and the transitions instead offer a variety of incremental opportunities, especially for members of the production and facilities community.

Storing captured carbon requires a receptacle, and existing reservoirs are just the thing. But which ones?
-
Oil producers encountering pockets of methane typically use flare stacks to burn off the vented gas. However, winds blowing across conventional open flame burners often result in 40% or more of the methane escaping into the air.

UK offshore oil and gas producers are moving closer to the region's goal of achieving zero routine flaring by 2030.
