Getting the last drops of laundry detergent out of a bottle can be frustrating. Some people turn the container upside down and shake. Or they just let the contents drip out slowly. Others add water to ...

Northern Water might change the location of a proposed reservoir northeast of Greeley because the site is home to about 24 active oil and gas wells, spokesman Brian Werner said Monday. UPDATE: ...

At-a-Glance: Reservoir engineering is strongest at a handful of long-standing petroleum/energy engineering departments with deep simulation/EOR labs and tight operator links. Below are globally ...

Part of the solution to California’s ambitious decarbonization goals may, ironically enough, be found in the state’s oil patch. On a 560-acre plot of land in a dusty portion of the San Joaquin Valley, ...

It is very common today to read about shutting-in of producing oil and gas wells to reflect the reality there are fewer and fewer places to store oil right now. An old oilfield maxim-the cheapest ...

The commission directed Crestone Peak Resources, the company behind the project, to explore alternative locations for the wells before moving forward.

Located in one of the country's most resource-rich states, the University of Wyoming's petroleum engineering program is taking bold steps to redefine the future of energy. Our program harnesses the ...
