The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded an agreement to the University of NorthDakota Energy and Environmental Research Center (UNDEERC) to extend a study that will enhance the understanding of factors affecting oil production from the Bakken and Three Forks-Sanish formations within the Williston Basin.
Natural gas production in NorthDakota has more than doubled since 2005, largely due to associated natural gas from the growing oil production in the Bakken shale formation. NorthDakota gas production: marketed, not marketed, and percentage not marketed. Source: EIA. Click to enlarge. (It
A field test conducted by a US Department of Energy (DOE) team of regional partners has demonstrated that using carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method dubbed “huff-and-puff” can help assess the carbon sequestration potential of geologic formations while tapping US oil resources.
NorthDakota-based Red Trail Energy (RTE), which since 2007 has operated an ethanol production facility with annual production of about 60 million gallons per year, is proposing sequestration of CO 2 produced from starch fermentation to lower the overall carbon intensity of the fuel for the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS).
The US State Department has issued a Presidential Permit to Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership to enable construction of the Alberta Clipper pipeline for the transport of crude oil from the Canadian oil sands to US refineries. This week, the RFA happened to issue two pieces, each touching on the impact of oil sands production.
Williston Basin (Montana, NorthDakota and South Dakota): University of NorthDakota plans to lead a coalition to drive the expansion and transformation of coal and coal-based resource usage within the Williston Basin to extract rare earth elements and critical minerals and produce non-fuel carbon-based products.
Oil and gas producers rely on flaring to limit the venting of natural gas from their facilities. Methane—which can be a byproduct of oil production—is a powerful greenhouse gas. Methane—which can be a byproduct of oil production—is a powerful greenhouse gas. A paper on the work is published in Science.
The Bakken is a prime US unconventional oil play, and is believed to be one of the largest, if not the largest, oil accumulation in the US. The tight oil is extracted in the same way as shale gas, through horizontal wells and hydraulic fracturing. In the Bakken formation, the oil is extracted from tight carbonate.
The transaction positions Denbury as one of the largest crude oil-focused, independent North American exploration and production companies. Encore has one of the larger acreage positions in the prolific Bakken oil shale with over 300,000 net acres. (the “Company”) and will be headquartered in Plano, Texas.
The states of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, NorthDakota, and South Dakota filed an amicus brief in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals opposing enforcement of California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). Earlier post.). Earlier post.). This regulation directly threatens $1.3
The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) has selected 11 research projects that will help find ways to extract more energy from unconventional oil and gas resources while reducing environmental risks for awards totalling $12.4 The selections include $10.3 The selections include $10.3 million in federal funds.
The EERC technologies convert crop oils to renewable fuels that are essentially indistinguishable from their petroleum-derived counterparts (“drop-in” fuels) and may be commingled directly with refinery production and transported to consumers through the existing pipeline system. Earlier post.) Earlier post.) Diesel Fuel. Naphtha Sample.
In his talk at Georgetown University outlining his climate action plan, President Barack Obama suggested that the controversial Keystone XL pipeline would only be built if the project “ does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution. ”. And the State Department is going through the final stages of evaluating the proposal.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced the award of approximately $72 million in federal funding to support the development and advancement of carbon capture technologies under two funding opportunity announcements (FOAs). Enabling Production of Low Carbon Emissions Steel Through CO 2 Capture from Blast Furnace Gases.
Summit Power Group, LLC and Blue Strategies, LLC have signed a 15-year CO 2 offtake agreement with Whiting Petroleum Corporation for some of the CO 2 that will be captured by Summit’s Texas Clean Energy Project ( TCEP ), a coal gasification with carbon capture polygen project being developed in Penwell, Texas, outside Odessa. Earlier post.).
The reactor will then be transported to the Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) in Grand Forks, NorthDakota for integration with upstream and downstream processing equipment, before proceeding into testing next summer. Earlier post.) Earlier post.) The 24-month, $5.2M Earlier post.).
The fuels will be produced at a pilot facility currently under construction at the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University Of NorthDakota. Camelina oil. The CBTL process maintains a high overall thermal efficiency while resulting in 20% lower CO 2 emissions than conventional refining methods.
The continued partnership between Topsoe and Marathon builds upon the successful operation at Marathon’s Dickinson facility in NorthDakota, which also uses Topsoe’s HydroFlex renewable fuels technology and achieved design capacity in the second quarter of 2021.
The two projects selected—an existing power plant in NorthDakota and a new facility in California—will incorporate advanced technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Hydrogen Energy California Project: Commercial Demonstration of Advanced IGCC with Full Carbon Capture. Post Combustion CO 2 Capture Project.

Electrochemical Production of Formic Acid from Carbon Dioxide in Solid Electrolytes. Earth Energy Renewables, LLC. MicroBio Engineering, Inc. Duke University.
The Bakken Formation, a shale oil and gas field in NorthDakota and Montana, is emitting roughly 2% (about 250,000 tons per year) of the globe’s ethane, according to new study led by researchers at the University of Michigan. They directly impact air quality across North America. Click to enlarge.
DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), under the purview of DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), will manage the selected projects. DOE Funding: $1,249,997; Non-DOE Funding: $312,516; Total Value: $1,562,513 Oxygen Integrated Unit for Modular Biomass Conversion to Hydrogen — Palo Alto Research Center Inc.,
The settlement, a consent decree lodged in US District Court for the Western District of Texas, includes provisions that resolves ongoing Clean Air Act violations at refineries in Kenai, Alaska; Martinez, California; Kapolei, Hawaii; Mandan, NorthDakota; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Anacortes, Washington. Of the $10.45-million
Wild Springs will avoid 190,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually – the equivalent of removing 42,000 cars from the road. Bismarck, NorthDakota-based utility Basin Electric, which is purchasing Wild Springs’ solar power, went with the “all-of-the-above” line. Wild Springs is expected to provide approximately $29.5
