Technologist in Residence for Advanced Manufacturing and Materials in Unconventional Oil and Gas Equipment and Infrastructure

The DOE Technologist in Residence (TIR) program pairs a senior technical staff member from a National Laboratory (Lab Technologist), and a senior technical staff member(s) from a clean energy manufacturing company or consortium of companies (Industry Technologist). Each technologist may represent single or multiple national laboratories, or single or multiple companies. These pairs of Lab and industry technologists work together for a period of 18 to 24 months to accomplish several goals: 1) Identify the participating company’s (or companies’) technical priorities and challenges, and the resources and capabilities in DOE’s National Laboratories that may be highly suitable to address them; 2) Propose collaborative R&D efforts to develop science-based solutions to the company’s (or companies’) most strategic scientific, technological, and business issues; and 3) Develop a general framework agreement and begin developing specific scopes of work for the proposed collaborative R&D efforts. The proposed R&D will then take place outside of the program and will not use TIR program funds. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Pioneer Natural Resources were awarded a TIR project by DOE in late 2016 and the CRADA component of the project was initiated in 2017. This report describes work performed under the CRADA agreement between 2017 and 2020.

Deploying a Publicly Available and Living National Oil and Gas Well Geodatabase: CO2-Locate: A Dynamic Database & Tool

Emission mitigation and safe geologic carbon storage require an understanding of local wellbore infrastructure, yet well data are siloed across many entities. Addressing this challenge, the National Energy Technology Laboratory published CO2-Locate, an integrated and dynamic national wellbore geodatabase. CO2-Locate offers up to date well data spanning more than 40 federal, state, and tribal entities, as well as spatially summarized insights designed to support commercial, regulatory, and research communities as they strive to curb climate change through a national energy transition.

CO2-Locate: A Dynamic Database and Tool for Accessing National Oil and Gas Well Data to Inform Carbon Storage Projects

The CO2-Locate Database is a growing compilation of publicly available wellbore resources that have been merged based on common attributes across data sources with an attribute schema developed to be consistent across disparate resources, reduce data gaps, and eliminate record redundancy. The first version of CO2-Locate has been published to Energy Data eXchange (EDX) and includes the integrated public wells dataset as well as additional geospatial summary layers of key wellbore characteristics to protect proprietary resources. Additionally, the CO2-Locate database has been deployed into a web application, enabling easy access, data filtering capabilities, and visualization of U.S. wellbore infrastructure by stakeholders to inform injection site selection and risk assessments.

Influence functions for the Delaware Oil and Gas Basin Tower Network

This data consists of influence functions created for the Delaware tower network for the purpose of calculating methane enhancements in the region. Two different footprint models were used. The Lagrangian Particle Dispersion model (LPDM, Uliasz 1993) was run from March 2020-May 2023. The model uses in-house WRF simulations for the meteorological transport as described in Barkley et al., (2023). Nine hundred (900) particles were released during each hourly period and are traced back 72 hours backwards in time. A static binning height of 110 m AGL was used to calculate surface influence. After May 2023, the LPDM simulations were phased out and replaced with influence functions created using HYSPLIT under the STILT configuration (Lin et al., 2003). The STILT influence functions use HRRR for the meteorological transport (Dowell et al., 2022). Nine hundred (900) particles were released during each hourly period and are traced back 72 hours backwards in time. A binning height of half the boundary layer height was used to calculate surface influence. Footprints are currently available from Sept 2020-December 2024 and will be updated periodically as more are generated in time. No STILT influence functions were created for tower site Maljimar, which was decommissioned in March 2022. Lat/Lon grid information for the LPDM influence functions is contained in lpdm-lat-lon-grid.nc. STILT grid information is contained within the influence functions themselves. Tower coordinates and heights can be found in tower-info.csv
