In the first part of this two-part episode of EngineeringPro, we speak to Digital Innovator and Advisor Jayne Arlidge about her 39-year career in the oil and gas industry. 

Jayne started her career as a maintenance engineer on an FPSO before progressing through a global petrochemicals organisation to become Principal of Instrumentation, Alarm Management and Automation. 

We discuss Jayne's early career and life on an FPSO. We also dive into the world of safety management in one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. 

We also reflect on some of the challenges of the industry and the real effects of offshore living, including the impact of COVID on the offshore oil and gas industry. 

Jayne has since come out of retirement and works as a consultant, mentor, and advisor to major petroleum companies and those working within them. 

Remember to follow, to hear Part 2 as soon as it is released!

Closures - The Grangemoouth scandal

In this evocative story, Emma describes her connection to nature and the peace it brings her to be outside. Wildfires in the area have caused her to feel trapped inside due to poor air quality. She discusses the role of the oil and gas industry in wildfires, and the abandoned wells that release oil and gas into the environment, and her desire to participate in plugging these abandoned wells.

As the world transitions toward renewable energy sources, geothermal power has emerged as one of the most promising, yet underutilized, options in the clean energy portfolio. Unlike solar and wind, geothermal offers consistent baseload power generation capacity without intermittency challenges, making it an increasingly attractive component in the renewable energy mix.
The geothermal sector has shown increasing potential in recent years, with technological innovations expanding its possible applications beyond traditional volcanic regions. These advances are creating opportunities to tap into moderate-temperature resources that were previously considered uneconomical, potentially unlocking gigawatts of clean, renewable power across the globe.
It's within this expanding landscape that companies like Gradient Geothermal are pioneering new approaches. As a guest on The POWER Podcast, Ben Burke, CEO of Gradient Geothermal, outlined his company’s innovative approach to geothermal energy extraction that could transform how we think about energy recovery from oil and gas operations.
Modular and Mobile Geothermal Solutions
Gradient Geothermal differentiates itself in the geothermal marketplace through its focus on modular, portable equipment designed specifically for oil field operations, geothermal operators, and potentially data centers. Unlike traditional geothermal installations that require permanent infrastructure, Gradient’s equipment can be moved every six to 18 months as needed, allowing clients to adjust their thermal capacity by adding or removing units as requirements change.
“The advantage of mobility and modularity is really important to oil and gas operators,” Burke said. The company’s solution consists of two main components: an off-the-shelf organic Rankine cycle (ORC) unit and a primary heat exchanger loop. This system can handle various ratios of oil, gas, and water—even “dirty” water containing sand, brines, and minerals—and convert that heat into usable power.
One of the most compelling aspects of Gradient’s technology is its ease of installation. “Installation takes one day,” Burke explained. “It’s two pipes and three wires, and it’s able to sit on a gravel pad or sit on trailers.” This quick setup contrasts sharply with traditional geothermal plants that can take years to construct.
The units come in three sizes: 75 kW, 150 kW, and 300 kW. The modular nature allows for flexible configurations, with units able to be connected in series or parallel to handle varying water volumes and temperatures.

Transforming Oil and Gas with Extended Reality

https://thecommunists.org/2025/07/01/news/usa-imperialist-bloc-save-failing-zionist-proxy-iran-war/
Another day of waning global hegemony, another regime-change war launched by the west.
Every day provides fresh evidence of Lenin’s famous dictum that ‘Imperialism seeks domination, not democracy.’ Workers must learn to see through the hysterical onslaught of war propaganda to the real forces beneath. We must understand whose interests western governments really serve. And having seen the truth, we must work to oppose, obstruct and defeat the imperialist war machine at home.

In the face of Iran’s devastating counterattack, Netanyahu fled the country, while Israeli citizens were not allowed to leave. They were not so much human shields as bargaining counters to get the USA to join the war against Iran.

Climate Stories Project (CSP) is an educational and artistic forum for sharing personal stories about the effects of climate change on our lives and communities. CSP focuses on personal oral histories, which bring an immediacy to the sometimes abstract nature of climate change communication. Some of us may recount dramatic events such as floods and wildfires, or we may address our observations of changes in seasonal patterns and our fears for the future of our families and communities. We may discuss how climate change is forcing our communities to adapt to extreme weather and sea level rise. Or we may speak about how we are getting involved in the movement to fight the fossil fuel industry through community organizing or nonviolent protest.There is no "right" way to talk about climate change, as it is a vast topic that is increasingly touching every corner of our lives. CSP also facilitates educational workshops where students learn to speak about their own responses to climate change and interview guest speakers about theirs. In addition, some climate stories are featured in music and soundscape projects that allow audiences to witness the effects of climate change in a novel way.
