Fast, Scalable Graph Neural Networks Used for Subsurface in Porous-Media Simulations

01 July 2026
This work describes a study in which distributed data parallel training, paired with a node-local caching pipeline, enabled efficient multigraphics-processing-unit scaling for a CO₂-storage graph-neural-network surrogate while maintaining generalization.

Proxy Models Accelerated Using Physics-Based Reduced-Order Model

01 July 2026
This work uses a novel pseudosteady-state-based simulation to reduce training-data-generation cost while maintaining high-performance predictions of data-driven proxy models for carbon-sequestration projects.

Study Assesses Integrity, Corrosion Risks of CO2 Injection in Oil-Recovery Operations

01 July 2026
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.

Decarbonization

01 July 2026
Sustainable energy continues to grow as a focus for reliable, affordable, and secure energy as seen from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Three primary areas are being reported on heavily: carbon use for enhanced oil recovery, geological hydrogen discovery, and critical minerals from the subsurface.

Europe’s CCUS Buildout: Infrastructure, Shipping, and the Path to 2050 Carbon Transport

26 June 2026
A new Xodus report finds that scaling CCS across Europe will require significant investment in dedicated CO2 shipping, port infrastructure, and hybrid transport systems—projecting a fleet of about 65 vessels, 33 ports, and rapidly increasing emissions transport by 2050.

California Sees Its First Carbon Storage Injection

17 June 2026
The California Resources Corporation achieved the state’s first carbon dioxide injection into two depleted reservoirs with the potential to store 38 million tonnes.
