R&D/innovation
The NLR has released its 2025 US Geothermal Market Report, documenting 4 years of industry growth and providing policymakers and stakeholders with an updated overview of the US geothermal market.
For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.
This article is the sixth and final Q&A in a series from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section focusing on emerging energy technologies. In this final edition, Matthew T. Balhoff, SPE, of The University of Texas at Austin shares his views on the future of upstream education.
