Researchers at Colorado School of Mines explore an internally deployed fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) method for continuous gas-pipeline monitoring, demonstrating its potential to improve leak detection, enable early intervention, and enhance overall pipeline-integrity management compared to conventional inspection techniques.
-
The curriculum covers topics such as geochemical and technological removal methods, life cycle assessments, and storage solutions.
-
Effective management of produced water in mature oil fields is essential to reducing environmental risks and operational costs, with subsurface disposal emerging as the most efficient and responsible method.
-
A team from UT Austin won the Blue Hydrogen Student Design Competition, where more than 200 students from three Texas universities designed sustainable hydrogen production processes.
-
The upcoming webinar will explore how oil and gas technologies are being repurposed for geothermal and renewable energy applications.
