This contributed article highlights the growing importance of fiber-optic sensing and its potential to advance thanks to emerging quantum technologies.
The DOE-backed EGS-Twin project aims to simulate geothermal production systems, helping operators better predict performance and maximize output.
Tulsa Innovation Labs' Rose Rock Bridge program awarded $400,000 to four energy technology startups, bringing AI-driven innovation, industry partnerships, and the potential for more than 135 new Oklahoma jobs to Tulsa.

Last year, lawmakers in the United States sent a blunt message to the oil business: If it wants new exploration and production technology, it will need to pick up more of the cost. -
Saudi Aramco is on a mission to increase the amount of seismic data that it collects by fourfold, while reducing costs and acquisition time by half of what it spends today.
-
A destructive run of three hurricanes has been a catalyst for a flurry of innovations in decommissioning shallow-water wells in the US Gulf of Mexico.
-
Diamond-tipped cutters are the leading edge for technology development as companies seek an advantage that will allow customers to drill faster and longer before changing bits.
-
The variables defining drill-bit performance cover a lot of ground. There is a lot of attention given to cutters studding diamond drill bits, but just as important are what is in the rest of the drillstring and the decisions made by the driller.
-
For decades, the industry has worked to realize the potential of gathering seismic data in wells. But it is a hostile environment for standard equipment. An inventor has developed a fiber optic system that can handle the heat, but he needs backers to see if it can deliver in the ground.

The lifespan of a huge, old oil field in Oklahoma is now linked to a fertilizer plant 68 miles away. Chaparral Energy is capturing 45 million ft3/D of carbon dioxide (CO2) that had previously been vented into the atmosphere in Coffeyville, Kansas, compressing it, and sending it via a pipeline.
-
Tests showing increased recoveries in the Bakken formation using CO2 could have significant implications for the upstream oil and gas industry.
-
Oxane Materials' advanced cerammic proppant travels farther during fracturing in larger quantities, thereby leading to smoother, higher flows of oil and gas.
-
The rapid growth of progressing cavity pumps is an example of how new uses continue to emerge for older technology.
