BP said it expects to keep the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) project in production into the 2040s by tapping into separate nonassociated gas reservoirs.
Still flowing nearly 40 years after startup, Gullfaks recently delivered its 5,000th cargo of sweet, low-sulfur crude to Sweden, underscoring how Equinor’s aging shelf assets continue to support Europe’s energy supply.
Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico have formed the Mountain West Geothermal Consortium to turn geothermal energy into gigawatts of baseload power.

The authors introduce a novel framework combining dynamic mode decomposition, a data-driven model-reduction technique, with direct data assimilation to streamline the calibration of carbon-dioxide plume evolution models. -
Today, the dependence on primary monitors is higher than ever, so much so that orchestrated efforts are underway to make these nearly foolproof. Often, direct measurements are supplemented with model predictions. Also notably visible are the efforts to integrate multiple perspectives of sustained production.
