R&D/innovation
More than 400 industry leaders convened in Mumbai to explore cutting-edge technologies, digital innovation, and EOR strategies aimed at revitalizing India’s mature hydrocarbon fields and strengthening national energy security.
The agreement will focus on advancing development and use of the nation's hydrocarbon and geothermal energy resources.
A smart safety helmet with physiological monitoring, gas detection, and real-time location tracking for emergencies was the winning concept at this year's SPE Students Technical Symposium and Exhibition.

Researchers have developed a low-cost carbon capture technology called PICC that uses only water and pressure to remove nearly all CO2 from industrial exhaust, offering a simpler, cleaner, and more affordable alternative to traditional chemical methods. -
Allison Taylor, SPE, is studying whether nanogels can improve how gas, specifically CO2, is stored underground during CO2 flooding operations.
-
The new facility was designed to enable advances in understanding subsurface processes through integrated geomechanics, fluid dynamics, and advanced reservoir characterization.
-
The 1-month project, led by UT Austin's Estibalitz Ukar, will pump CO2-rich water into a 400-m-deep well to test if magnesium-rich rocks at the test site can capture CO2 by turning it into stable minerals.
-
After a decade of research, the project boasts several achievements including drilling two test wells at depths below 9,800 ft, detailed geologic modeling and reservoir characterization, and multiple publications.
-
University of Colorado Boulder researchers will combine tools, such as power systems modeling, spatial statistics, and GIS mapping along with community forums, surveys, and interviews to capture both the human and technical sides of geothermal development.
-
The researchers found that adding nutrients such as nitrogen initially boosted soil carbon storage in previously tilled croplands and that these carbon gains persisted for decades even after fertilization and tilling stopped.

Emerson and HeroX are teaming up to award $60,000 in prize money to inventive thinkers who develop next-generation solutions to advance flow-measurement technology in critical industrial systems.
-
Assistant Professor Lori Tunstall received more than $1 million from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to explore how municipal waste can be converted into biochar to replace cement in concrete.
