Prediction of Barium Sulfate Deposition in Petroleum and Hydrothermal Systems
Chapter 5 of Solid-Liquid Separation Technologies: Applications for Produced Water. In this chapter we employed a molecular statistical thermodynamic-based model to predict the behavior of barite-containing species at high temperatures and high pressures.
System identity and transformation in petroleum jurisdictions: A multi-method approach for the North Slope Borough, Alaska
Capturing the multidimensionality of a bounded social-environmental system (SES) presents a range of challenges to interdisciplinary researchers due to the need to integrate divergent scientific paradigms, scalar data, and social theories. Contemporary Arctic circumpolar SESs studied under conditions of rapid and unprecedented climatic, ecological, economic, and sociopolitical change, defy any singular established methodological approach that aims to schematize and interpret the system for decision-making purposes. As a small interdisciplinary team working within a large Arctic SES modeling effort, we have found that developing systems models to support resilience in the Arctic requires an understanding of system dynamics that is attentive to holistic indicators of change, measured both quantitatively and qualitatively. Using the Alaska North Slope Borough as a case study, we apply three convergent frameworks to capture significant dimensions of the system for improved problem definition in confronting the challenges of Arctic climate change. We describe contemporary “oil and gas” social-ecological system components and dynamics, the historical processes and transformations that fundamentally altered the system, and the scientific projections for the most likely catalysts of future change. This analysis results in a typology for defining subnational Arctic hydrocarbon SESs. We conclude that the future of oil and gas development as a policy pathway in different locations experiencing rapid climate change can be evaluated when difficult-to-quantify variables are included.

Strategic Petroleum Reserve Cavern Leaching Monitoring CY24
This report provides an analysis of the effects of raw water leaching at the U.S. SPR using the Sandia Solution Mining Code (SANSMIC). A new version of the code has been established in the past year (implemented in Python and C++ code) and was used for this annual report. Additionally, the setup, running, and post-processing of leaching modeling has now been streamlined into a single Python notebook environment for each cavern run.
Strategic Petroleum Reserve Cavern Leaching Monitoring CY25
This report provides an analysis of the effects of raw water leaching at the U.S. SPR during calendar year 2025 using the Sandia Solution Mining Code (SANSMIC). The setup, running, and post-processing of leaching modeling has now been streamlined into a single Python notebook environment for each cavern run. A comprehensive investigation of nearest neighbor cavern distances is included.

Develop Renewable/Sustainable Material to Displace Petroleum-Derived Polymer Foams (CRADA Final Report)
NLR and EDEN will partner together to develop renewable, biodegradable alternatives to polyfoam (polyurethane) polymer foams. The initial focus will be on developing cellulose-based foam with tunable mechanical properties. NLR will produce and test the cellulose-based foam materials and characterize its microstructure and mechanical properties. Relationships between mechanical performance formulation and fabrication methods will be developed.
