Next in Energy

With more than 75,000 professionals in attendance, the fourth edition of India Energy Week brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and energy stakeholders to discuss not just oil and gas, but the future of energy.

The 18-credit certificate, available this fall, will combine petroleum engineering fundamentals with sustainability, energy economics, law, and digital tools to prepare graduates for a changing energy sector.

Hydrogen is emerging as a key low-carbon energy carrier for the energy transition, with multiple production pathways that differ in cost, emissions, and scalability trade-offs.

As global electricity demand surges, driven by AI, digitalization, and electrification, offshore innovation, spanning oil and gas, renewables, nuclear, and data infrastructure, will be critical to delivering a cleaner, more resilient energy future.

Agentic AI can enhance subsurface workflows when its autonomy is deliberately designed around physics, data integrity, and accountable decision-making through architectures that separate reasoning, computation, interpretation, and validation.

The program is designed specifically for STEM students without an engineering background and prepares students to work in energy- and sustainability-focused fields.

Researchers at the University of Houston have developed a new ultrathin, carbon-based film that could make AI chips run faster, cooler, and more energy-efficient.

The energy sector is rapidly transforming toward a data-driven, decentralized future where combining human expertise with AI and machine learning unlocks new efficiencies, solves complex challenges, and creates a decisive competitive advantage.

Jim Clark, a reservoir engineer with more than 4 decades of experience, reflects on the evolution of subsurface engineering and CCS, emphasizing the growing importance of analytics, cross-disciplinary skills, and technical curiosity for the next generation of engineers.

Researchers are studying how excessive groundwater extraction is causing global and regional aquifer depletion and land subsidence.
