Annual Energy Outlook

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated approach was proposed and applied, combining source rock screening (SRS), petroleum system modeling (PSM) and volumetric calculations to evaluate the shale gas potential of the Lower Cretaceous Sembar Formation, the Southern Indus Basin.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the classical Kn scale to develop models of shale gas flow in tight reservoirs where the nanopores are in the range of 1-1000nm, and pore pressures can be as high as 10,000psi.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary vehicle sizing model that takes into account aerodynamic, thermodynamic, structures, electromagnetic, weight, and mission analyses is proposed to examine Hyperloop from a technical and cost perspective.

TL;DR: The results support the feasibility of cultivating the thermotolerant isolate QUCCCM31 year-round to meet the sustainability challenges of algal biomass production by growing under temperature and nitrogen variations.

TL;DR: Improved understanding of the fate and transport of contaminants of concern and increased long-term monitoring and data dissemination will help effectively manage water-quality risks associated with unconventional gas industry today and in the future.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a technical and economic feasibility analysis conducted for four hypothetical, centralized, large-scale hydrogen production plants based on this technology, including a single bed particle suspension system, a dual-bed particle suspension systems, a fixed panel array, and a tracking concentrator array.

TL;DR: The magnitude of this leakage was reassessed and it was found that in 2015, supply chain emissions were ∼60% higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inventory estimate, likely because existing inventory methods miss emissions released during abnormal operating conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new core and outcrop data from 18 shale plays that reveal common types of shale fractures and their mineralization, orientation, and size patterns, and identify a need for further work in this field and on the role of natural fractures generally.
