In this interview, Purohit explains why ultrasonic technology is rising as a dominant solution for gas-flow applications and how engineering teams can approach measurement as a tool not just for accountability but also for operational excellence.
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.

A pilot project carried out by Hess demonstrates how quickly automated drilling technology is able to take a rig from the bottom of the pack in terms of performance and push it to the top. -
The inventor of a new water-based drilling fluid believes the chemical process involved with his technology opens up natural fractures as drilling takes place to increase production in shale formations.

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…

A panel of experts says US shale producers need to rethink their drilling and completion designs as problems mount for horizontal wells when they go on pump. Hanging in the balance is whether long-term production from many shale wells will be achievable.
