Next in Energy

Rajiv Nischal, head of ONGC’s Institute of Production Engineering and Ocean Technology (IPEOT), shares the company's latest developments in technology, sustainability, safety, and more.

David Nnamdi, SPE, speaks about his work as a data scientist and engineer, his development of Sequestrix, an open-source CO2 transport network optimization tool, and where he sees data science and AI’s role in the future of sustainable energy.

AI is beginning to transform well management by helping engineers predict electrical submersible pump failures before they happen, optimize drawdown more efficiently, and generate reliable forecasts even when data is scarce or noisy.

Colorado has introduced new regulations requiring oil and gas operators to reuse at least 4% of produced water by 2026.

While some see CCS as a vital tool for reducing emissions, others are exploring whether its current deployment aligns with long-term climate and clean energy goals.

The oil and gas industry's shift to smart fields—driven by automation, AI, and real-time data—requires petroleum engineers to master digital technologies alongside traditional skills.

This article explores how early-career engineers can build the competencies needed to support sustainability in oil and gas operations, not just for efficiency but also for climate resilience.

Microgrids are no longer niche innovations—they have become a foundational component of modern energy infrastructure. Realizing their full potential will require targeted policy reform, clearer regulatory frameworks, and greater access to innovative financing models.

Tiger Skid, a custom-built cyber-physical training and testing platform, simulates real-world energy systems and industrial processes vulnerable to cyber-physical attacks.

This article explores the integration of hydrogen into existing natural gas infrastructure and introduces practical solutions, including the application of machine learning models, to support decision-making and infrastructure adaptation in the energy transition.
