The multiplayer training platform developed by the Texas A&M Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center and EnerSys Corp. uses artificial intelligence and gaming technology to simulate pipeline emergencies.
Rock Flow Dynamics' donation of its tNavigator software will benefit WVU students studying petroleum engineering, geology, and earth and environmental sciences.
The report highlights the fast evolution of AI with better performance, bigger investment, and rising global optimism. But job concerns, education gaps, and environmental costs reveal a more complex picture.

A long-time energy industry executive and chemical engineer has built a new water treatment system that he says can increase recovery rates from shale wells without using chemicals and will recycle all the water used in the process. -
An overview of the Advanced Energy Consortium’s nanotechnology innovations and target applications in the oil and gas industry.

The first brief flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903 did not immediately make the Wright brothers famous; however, within 5 years, enthusiasm for the new technology began to spread around the world. Louis Blériot won a prize for flying over the English Channel in a heavier-than-air craft in 1909, and Charles Lindbergh won the USD 25,000 Orteig prize for the first nonstop flig…
