In 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom halted new permits for fracking, saying that the state “needs to move beyond oil” and leave the practice in the past. Now, three years later, a formal plan to ...

Cyclic steam injection is a common method of oil extraction in California in which steam is injected at high pressure into a heavy-oil formation. The process is largely unregulated and has been blamed ...

In June 2011, a sinkhole of super-heated earth opened up and swallowed an oilfield worker in Kern County. That field had been producing heavy oil for decades utilizing a high-pressure production ...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday placed a moratorium on new permits for potentially dangerous oil drilling techniques, which officials said are linked to illegal spills across the Central ...

Steam injection is effective for increasing recovery from subsurface heavy crude or bitumen accumulations. Some projects do produce these resources with cold production, but recovery expectations are ...

BAKERSFIELD — On the morning of the day he died, David Taylor and his crew were looking for a “chimney” — a fissure in the earth where steam and oil periodically spurted into the air in an oil field ...

Results of ARPA-e program showed 35% more efficiency and nearly elimination of nitrogen oxides Pratt & Whitney demonstrates its novel technology for using steam ...

Designed for highly viscous (heavy) oil requiring thermal stimulation, V-Cone steam-injection flow meter supports enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies that produce heavy oil from demanding ...

Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) earlier this week signed two major engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts for its Qarm Alam steam-injection project. Petroleum Development Oman (PDO ...

NEW YORK — Neptronic’s SKD Direct Steam Injection Humidifier is designed for applications where clean, low-pressure steam is available, such as hospitals, museums, laboratories, universities, and ...

Pratt & Whitney has growing confidence over the potential for a revolutionary hydrogen-combustion, steam-injection turbine engine in the 2050s, after component-level testing of the “hardest parts” of ...
