Researchers create advanced drilling advisory system that opens door to autonomous drilling
The United States Department of Energy Small Business Innovation Research Program has awarded a Phase I grant for autonomous drilling to E-Spectrum Technologies and Dr. Eduardo Gildin, associate professor in the Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University, to create an advanced advisory system that accurately depicts underground conditions in real time during drilling operations.
Moving Towards Sustainable Development
Reflecting on four years of study of the water, energy, food nexus, made possible through the efforts of the Texas A&M Water-Energy-Food Nexus Initiative, researchers in the Texas A&M Energy Institute and at the American University of Beirut are now looking to the future of the Nexus through the lens of sustainable development.
The Water-Energy-Food-Health Nexus Renewable Resources Initiative (WEFRAH)
The American University of Beirut (AUB) is expanding the impact and scope of the Water Energy Food Nexus effort through its new initiative – the Water-Energy-Food-Health Nexus Renewable Resources Initiative (WEFRAH).
GFRC Develops a Natural Gas Processing Technology that Could Reduce CO2 Emissions
Conventional gas-processing techniques emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and raise the carbon footprint, but a novel process developed by researchers from the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) Gas and Fuels Research Center that could help gas-producing countries process their wealth of natural gas without significantly contributing to CO2 emissions.
The Work of the Texas A&M Water-Energy-Food Nexus Initiative (WEFNI)
In 2015, Texas A&M University established the Texas A&M Water-Energy-Food Nexus Initiative (WEFNI) to assemble and catalyze the research, educational, and scientific resources of various Texas A&M University colleges around a growing area of research focus – the Water-Energy-Food Nexus.
