Electrofracturing of Shale at Elevated Pressure
Electrofracturing deeply buried shale formations could be used to increase reservoir permeability and improve reservoir production without requiring large volumes of freshwater. This paper describes a novel experimental system and initial test results to electrofracture shale under high confining pressures. Core-scale laboratory testing was performed on twelve rock samples recovered from a shale gas reservoir. Each sample was subjected to confining pressures of 20.7 MPa (3000 psi) or 58.6 MPa (…

As we grapple with the escalating climate crisis, the temptation to lean on technological fixes is understandable. But can we truly engineer our way out of this? It's a complex question that deserves our attention. 🌍 💡 #ClimateCrisis #Geoengineering
In #Iceland, a project called #Mammoth aims to capture CO2 directly from the air, using geothermal energy. This could be a game-changer, yet it only scratches the surface of global emissions. 🇮🇸 🌬️#CarbonCapture #Innovation
Despite the promise of carbon capture, critics argue it distracts from urgent actions like reducing fossil fuel use. Can we afford to focus on costly tech that may not scale in time? 🤔 💰 #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture
Occidental Petroleum's Texas project plans to capture CO2 for oil extraction. This paradox highlights a major issue: Can we depend on the oil industry to lead the fight against climate change? 🛢️ 🚫 #FossilFuels #ClimateChange

South Africa's new energy plan needs a mix of nuclear, gas, renewables and coal, says expert
South Africa's economy has been hard hit by 15 years of loadshedding (rolling blackouts). The country's coal-fired power plants have a maintenance backlog and frequently experience unexpected technical failures. On the other hand, South Africa has committed, under the Paris Agreement, to transition to low-carbon energy generation technologies by 2050. This puts South Africa at an energy crossroads where it needs well thought out policy development and implementation to make the transition possi…
