Pennsylvania has been an energy rich state for centuries, beginning with timber and anthracite.In Titusville, Pennsylvania, there is a site called the Drake Well Museum. In the museum, there is a plaque that reads “On this site Edwin Drake drilled the world's first oil well, striking oil on August 27, 1859.”In 2007, a discovery of the massive potential of 50 trillion cubic feet of natural gas was made by geoscientist Terry Engelder, kicking off large scale fracking wells across the state.Recently, another shocking amount of energy resource capacity has been discovered, this time regarding enough Lithium deposits to meet nearly 40% of the mineral needed for domestic battery power.But the issues with such extractive activities are steep, and the consequences are widespread. We need a national transition plan to a clean energy future, but also have to weigh the full costs of every phase of the solution.Nothing about this is going to be easy.

18 March 2024 - PGO's Upcoming Webinar (30 March 2024) presents, "Your Professional Career & Public Reporting A Short Course for Students” Registration Link (https://lnkd.in/gcfT_rcf) Course Description (https://lnkd.in/gVtSMghd) Presenters: David Leng, P.Geo. and Bailey Walters, P.Geo. Developed by Geoscientists Canada, this course is geared for university students to improve basic awareness about resources reporting and the role of the Qualified Person (QP). It covers all resources reporting in mining and energy, and also speaks to water resources and environmental reporting. It is designed to be of benefit to all students regardless of their subsequent career direction. The course consists of four quarter-day modules each with an accompanying breakout group exercise involving discussion and subsequent plenary exchange. 1. Reporting Issuer and Securities Background & Case Study 2. Qualified Person & Case Study 2 - Includes Ontario-specific QP Concept 3. Mining and NI 43-101 Overview & Case Study 4. Oil & Gas and NI 51-101 Overview & Case Study PGO included Ontario-specific content that provides an overview on Qualified Person as per the regulations under the Ontario’s Environmental Protection Act, specifically Ontario Regulation 153/04 Records of Site Condition and Ontario Regulation 406/19 On-site and Excess Soil Management.

#Episode 11: #Understanding #Capillary #Seal #Capacity #in #Energy #ExplorationIn this episode, we delve into the concept of capillary seal capacity and its critical role in energy exploration. As a student of Sustainable Energy Geosciences at the University of Aberdeen, I'm excited to share my insights on this topic.#Capillary #Seal #Capacity:** Capillary seal capacity refers to the ability of a rock to trap hydrocarbons by capillary forces, preventing their migration through small pore spaces. This is essential for maintaining the integrity of hydrocarbon reservoirs.#Mechanical #Seal #Capacity: In contrast, mechanical seal capacity involves the physical properties of the rock, such as its ability to withstand stress without fracturing, which also plays a vital role in trapping hydrocarbons.To illustrate the differences, I've adopted pictures which I will explain in the attached video.Stay tuned as we explore these concepts and their applications in energy exploration, enhancing our understanding of subsurface sealing mechanisms.#CapillarySealCapacity #MechanicalSealCapacity #EnergyExploration #UniversityOfAberdeen #EnergyTransition #LinkedInPost #SEG

Today in History: "The Lucas gusher blew on January 10, 1901, and ushered in the liquid fuel age."As we all know, in recent years there has been a concerted effort to demonize oil and gas and push towards electrification and green energy across the United States; specifically here in Colorado. While I personally think the changes that are being implemented are not well thought out, owners of commercial real estate are going to be forced to make capital improvements to their properties by "going Green" and "electrifying" prior to 2030 in order to be in compliance with Energize Denver regulations. This is something that will have major impacts on manufactures here in Colorado. In order to minimize the impact it is best practice to begin working on the changes required by the state incrementally so that you are not scrambling to make major changes as 2030 approaches. If you would like to learn more about how these regulations will impact your property moving forward, or you would like an assessment of your property in consideration of selling to avoid the capital improvements that will be required please reach out. Whether you agree with these policies or not it is best to be aware of what is coming so that you can make the decisions that are best for you/your business.#commercialrealestate #industrialrealestate #denverrealestate https://lnkd.in/gqRVUbxH

I generally don't like to Facebook my LinkedIn, but this type of disinformation is a real pet peeve of mine. There has always been "yellow" journalism, and this is why many "journalists" have questionable credibility. There is no such thing as a "fracking" well. To hydraulically fracture, or "frac" a petroleum reservoir is a treatment applied through the petroleum production wellbore to enhance or facilitate the production of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. This literal definition is readily available in the public domain, it is no mysterious conjure of nefarious design. Clickbate, and the use of trigger language to sell copy is the indictment here.https://lnkd.in/ggcFQvSM

New aquifer license awardedAgain exciting news for the development of CO2 storage in aquifers in the Netherlands! After being awarded the exploration license for the so-called P&O blocks in May, Shell Offshore Carbon Storage NL (SOCS NL) has also been granted an exploration license for the K block aquifers.The exploration license covers an area of over 1200 km² in the Dutch North Sea (K08a, K10a, K11a, K12a, K13a, K14a, K14b, K15a, K15b, K17a) and is located approximately 100 km northwest of Den Helder.CO2 storage in aquifers can make an important contribution to the Dutch and European climate targets. SOCS NL is working hard to develop a better understanding of the storage capacity in aquifers in the Dutch part of the North Sea.For more information see: https://lnkd.in/eCp5eBvXFor the earlier announcement on P&O BLocks see : https://lnkd.in/excTKbmD

Salts ain’t salts, especially when it comes to underground hydrogen storage. In our discussions with salt cavern construction companies, they all stress the same thing – rock salt purity is key, ideally greater than 90% halite. This is particularly true for storing highly reactive hydrogen gas, compared to salt cavern storage of oil or natural gas. Sadly the Willara Sub-basin doesn’t appear to contain massive high purity rock salt suitable for cavern construction. The thick salt is highly interbedded with claystone, with individual halite beds only a few meters thick. There is a chance that higher purity salt diapirs might be present in the wider Canning Basin and these should be the target for any future salt cavern suitability assessment for the North Western Australia.
