NPC Urges Swift Action to Assess America's Subsurface Resources and Secure Competitiveness

National Petroleum Council

Aug 31, 2026, 12:00 ET

Newest NPC Report Requested by Energy Secretary Wright Calls for Integrated Assessment of Energy and Minerals like Oil, Natural Gas, Coal, Critical Minerals, Geothermal, Geologic Hydrogen, and Storage Resources.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today leaders from state government, Tribal organizations, industry, scientists, and academia recommended urgent action to strengthen America's understanding of its subsurface resources with the release of American Resources for a Secure Future: A National Cooperative Subsurface Assessment Program [https://american-resources.npc.org]. 

National Petroleum Council (NPC) Chair and ConocoPhillips Chairman and CEO Ryan Lance announced the new report, the latest in NPC's Future Energy Systems series requested by U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, to address rising demand for secure domestic energy and mineral resources. Developed by roughly 80 experts and approved by a decision of the full NPC membership, the study finds that the American subsurface—the source of the nation's oil and gas, coal, essential minerals, geothermal energy, geologic hydrogen, and subsurface storage resources—remains one of the country's most under-characterized strategic assets.

The NPC delivered nine specific recommendations, leading to an overarching vision of an authorized and appropriated National Cooperative Subsurface Assessment Program that builds on existing federal and state agency authorities. These specific recommendations call on Congress, academia, industry, and federal and state agencies to:

Accelerate holistic assessments of the nation's subsurface resources

Prioritize assessments of emerging resources

Acquire priority baseline data to strengthen subsurface assessments

Develop a National Data Portal to ease access to subsurface data

Recover and preserve legacy subsurface data

Evaluate access to proprietary data acquired by industry

Increase development of emerging technology for subsurface resource extraction, mapping, and modeling

Establish a collaborative, long-term planning process

Develop a qualified workforce for subsurface analysis through residencies and partnerships

"America has tremendous resource potential beneath our feet, and those resources play a critical role in our economy, our energy security and our ability to lead in advanced manufacturing to remain competitive for the long term," NPC Chair Ryan Lance said. "This report lays out a practical framework for building a more complete understanding of our subsurface resources and strengthening the nation's ability to identify and support future resource development. I thank Secretary Wright for commissioning this work and the many contributors who brought their expertise to bear."

The report, American Resources for a Secure Future: A National Cooperative Subsurface Assessment Program [https://american-resources.npc.org], details that more than 80 percent of America's energy needs—and the essential feedstocks that power domestic manufacturing, infrastructure, defense, and advanced technologies—come from beneath U.S. soil. Yet much of the nation's subsurface has not been systematically assessed in decades, leaving policymakers, industry, and communities without a shared, modern picture of the resources available to meet growing demand. The study calls for a federally coordinated, cooperative program uniting efforts at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Marine Minerals Administration (MMA), and DOE with state geological surveys, Tribal governments, industry, academia, and other organizations to modernize resource data, prioritize subsurface regions of national significance, and equip the country to make informed decisions on energy, critical minerals, and subsurface storage capacity.

"You can't manage what you haven't measured," said Dr. Scott Tinker, Director Emeritus of the Bureau of Economic Geology at The University of Texas at Austin and cochair of the American Resources report. "For decades, we've made decisions about America's energy and mineral future with an incomplete picture of what's beneath the surface. This report lays out a practical, cooperative path to fix that with industry, government, Tribal nations, and academia at the same table."

"No state can comprehensively characterize a geologic basin or ore body that crosses its borders working alone, and no federal agency can do this work without the state and Tribal partners who know the ground," added Dr. Berry H. "Nick" Tew, Jr., State Geologist of Alabama and Director of the Geological Survey of Alabama, who also cochaired the report. "A cooperative program anchored by USGS and MMA working hand-in-hand with DOE, state geological surveys, Tribes, industry, and academia is the right model and it's overdue."

"Experts across the breadth of the energy and subsurface resource community reached consensus on what America needs and how to deliver it," said John Dabbar, Executive Director of NPC. "The nine recommendations we're delivering to Secretary Wright are specific, actionable, and ready to implement. If enacted through the appropriate policy, legislation, and regulation, these recommendations will help government understand and manage the nation's subsurface resources and enable effective private-sector development. This is a nonpartisan subject; the rocks don't care about surface borders." 

American Resources for a Secure Future [https://american-resources.npc.org] joins the NPC's Future Energy Systems series, following the December 2025 release of Reliable Energy: Delivering on the Promise of Gas-Electric Coordination [https://gas-electric.npc.org/] and Bottleneck to Breakthrough: A Permitting Blueprint to Build [https://permitting.npc.org/]. The next components in the series will be released at the annual NPC meeting on December 7, 2026, and address Produced Water and Natural Gas Storage.

The NPC is a federal advisory committee to the Secretary of Energy. Founded in 1946, the NPC is made up of approximately 200 people selected and appointed by the Secretary of Energy to advise, inform, and make recommendations, at the Secretary's request, on matters pertaining to oil and natural gas or to the oil and gas industries.

NewMark Merrill Companies Completes AI Pioneer Program, Deploying 53 Employee-Built AI Solutions Across the Enterprise

Twelve-week, six-session program trains cross-departmental champions who together recover more than 3,700 hours of annual capacity

CALABASAS, Calif., Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NewMark Merrill Companies, Inc., a leading owner, developer, and manager of retail shopping centers in California, Colorado, and Illinois, announced the completion of its AI Pioneer Program, a six-session enterprise initiative that trained 13 employees from across all departments in the organization to design and deploy artificial intelligence solutions for their own day-to-day work.

Rather than adopting a single off-the-shelf AI product, NewMark Merrill took a different approach: it taught its own people to build. Over six structured sessions delivered in partnership with Adaptig, two participants from different departments across the company — Accounting, Collections, Property Management, Leasing, Development, Acquisitions, Information Technology, Marketing and Human Resources — identified real bottlenecks in their own work and built working tools to address them. Who was in the room mattered as much as what they built. These weren't necessarily managers, and deliberately weren't technology experts. They were the people closest to the daily friction, chosen for their ability to spot a problem, build a practical solution, and bring their colleagues along with them.

"The AI Pioneer program at Newmark Merrill helped me identify roadblocks in our acquisition and development processes and build solutions we can roll out across the team," said Taylor Kuchman, Acquisitions & Development Associate. "The time and expertise that Mateo at Adaptig and the team at Newmark Merrill devoted to this also opened my eyes to challenges other departments were facing and the solutions they were putting in place. Those solutions, and the companywide collaboration they created, made this program valuable."

The results were measured throughout the entire process. Participants logged 53 completed solutions and documented 3,783 hours of recovered capacity annually, the equivalent of roughly 473 working days, or nearly two full-time positions returned to higher-value work. Self-assessed output quality rose from 3.2 to 4.3 on a five-point scale, a 34 percent improvement, with the largest gains in the depth and presentation of analytical work.

The solutions span the full breadth of the business. In Acquisitions, underwriting workflows that previously required eight hours of manual document review were reduced to under an hour. In Property Management, daily security patrol reports across multiple centers are now summarized automatically, with exceptions escalated for human review. In Accounting, CAM reconciliations that consumed a full day are now produced in minutes. In Information Technology, a manual Excel-based credit card allocation process was replaced entirely by an internally built web application.

"What impressed me most was not the technology — it was our people," said Sandy Sigal, President and Chief Executive Officer of NewMark Merrill Companies. "We did not hand anyone a tool and tell them to use it. We gave them the skills and asked them to solve the problems they know better than anyone else does. Thirteen employees came back with fifty-three answers. That is the kind of change that lasts, because they own it."

The program concluded recently with a showcase in which each participant presented their work to company leadership. Participants rated the program 4.2 out of 5 for satisfaction, with a Net Promoter Score of +70.

"We have run this program inside a lot of companies, and NewMark Merrill did something most organizations only talk about," said Mateo Romano, Co-Founder of Adaptig. "Sandy deliberately filled that room with people who had no AI background and told them plainly that this would not come from the top — that leadership's job was to remove obstacles, not hand out ideas. That gave the thirteen Pioneers the confidence to bring their real problems: the reconciliation that eats a full day, the report nobody wants to write, the workaround a system has forced on them for years. And because Accounting, Leasing, IT, Operations, Development, Marketing and HR were all around the same table, they solved those problems for each other instead of one department at a time. By the last session they had stopped being users of software and started being the people who build it — that is the change that stays with a company long after we leave."

NewMark Merrill's 13 AI Pioneer Champions are: Ivano Bufi, Delaune Cheney, Samantha Dubon, Chad Kaplan, Taylor Kuchman, Michael Mendez, Tim Murphy, David Rosenthal, Isak Sabzanov, Elijah Sigal, Holly Tartaglino, Artur Tarverdyan, and Larissa Yllescas.

Beat the Heat, Cut Energy Costs: SUNON Brings Smarter Industrial Cooling to the Workplace

NEWS PROVIDED BY

SUNON

Aug 31, 2026, 12:00 ET

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

KAOHSIUNG, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hot, stuffy factory floors can make work uncomfortable, reduce productivity, and drive up energy bills.

SUNON's bionic HVLS ceiling fans and ultra-mobile industrial fans deliver powerful, wide-reaching airflow to keep large spaces cooler and more comfortable—while using less energy.

Cooler workplaces. Lower energy costs. Better everyday comfort. With SUNON, smarter industrial cooling is here.

The HVLS ceiling fans use seven curved, aircraft-grade aluminum blades with an aerodynamic profile, generating broad, turbulence-free airflow at low speeds rather than relying on high rotational speed like conventional fans. The result is a gentle, natural breeze-like sensation with significantly reduced noise. Powered by SUNON's in-house BLDC motor, the fans achieve over 90% motor efficiency with a maintenance-free, gearless direct-drive design. Users can experience a 5-8°C perceived temperature drop in summer, while a reverse mode in winter redistributes warm ceiling air for year-round energy savings—ideal for factories, warehouses, and large exhibition spaces.

The industrial portable fans are built around a hexagonal honeycomb frame, reinforcing the hub and structure against wind load while keeping the unit lightweight and stable even during extended high-speed use. Standing about 2 meters tall with heavy-duty casters and double-row ball bearings, the fan can be repositioned by a single person for flexible, on-demand cooling at events, sports facilities, and production lines. It also features a BLDC motor, high airflow, low noise, and IP55 waterproofing, and was honored with the 2026 Taiwan Excellence Award.

SUNON's full product line uses EU RoHS-compliant, non-toxic materials, with an engineering team supporting customers in selecting the optimal setup for their space.

About SUNON

Founded in 1980 under the brand promise of "Sun On Everyday," SUNON's signature green identity represents its dual commitment to environmental protection and product safety—plus an ongoing pursuit of sustainability in everything it builds. Guided by this philosophy, the company has focused on core energy-saving motor technologies and pioneered MagLev fan technology, providing industrial, green building, and residential cooling solutions worldwide.

Iran-Krieg - Am Rande eines Flächenbrands

Straubing (ots)

Die Geschwindigkeit und Härte, mit der die Revolutionsgarden auf den US-Angriff reagiert haben, senden eine klare Botschaft an Washington und die alliierten Golfstaaten: Wir können den Preis für jeden amerikanischen Vorstoß schmerzhaft in die Höhe treiben. Wenn die Vernunft nicht bald den Weg zurück an den Verhandlungstisch diktiert, droht der Nahe Osten in einen unkontrollierbaren Flächenbrand zu stürzen. Und der würde auch uns noch härter treffen, als es heute schon der Fall ist.

Leipzig (ots)

Anpfiff für die zweite Saisonhälfte: Während wenige Meter weiter in der Red Bull Arena die Bundesliga wieder Fahrt aufnahm, meldete sich auch die APOTHEKENTOUR powered by APOTHEKE ADHOC und PTA IN LOVE am vergangenen Wochenende aus der Sommerpause zurück. Mehr als 2860 Apotheker:innen, PTA und PKA strömten am 29. und 30. August in die Quarterback Immobilien Arena. An den nächsten beiden Wochenenden geht es in Berlin und München weiter.

Nach sieben Tourstopps und einem starken ersten Halbjahr gastierte die APOTHEKENTOUR in Leipzig.

XINING, China, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A Report from Science and Technology Daily: 

In the 20 years since it opened, the 1,956-kilometer Qinghai-Xizang Railway has delivered a remarkable record: 104 million passengers and more than 824 million tonnes of freight transported across the "roof of the world." The landmark project has transformed the region's connectivity, economy, and way of life.

Improving livelihoods

Stretching from Xining in Qinghai province in the east to Lhasa in the Xizang autonomous region in the west, the Qinghai-Xizang Railway has enabled people, goods, and the unique resources of the plateau to flow across mountains and valleys, boosting markets and industries.

The Xizang Gaerde Ecological Livestock Industry Development Co., Ltd., for example, located deep in the Qiangtang grassland, has leveraged railway cold-chain transportation to deliver perishable fresh milk to markets across China, helping increase the incomes of thousands of local herder households. At Qarhan Salt Lake in Qinghai, potash fertilizer production lines are seamlessly connected with railway terminals. In 2025, more than four million tonnes of potash fertilizer was transported by rail.

The railway has reshaped the economic landscape of Xizang and transformed the lives of countless people.

Every June, as cordyceps, a parasitic fungi with high medicinal value, enters its peak trading season, the Qinghai Jiuying Cordyceps Trading Market near the Xining railway station becomes one of the busiest places in the region, attracting merchants from across the country.

"In the past, we had to drive for days to purchase cordyceps. Now herders can simply take the train and bring their products here," said Ma Ke, a trader who has been doing business at the market for more than 20 years. "The railway has brought the market to life."

Today, the Jiuying Cordyceps Trading Market has more than 20,000 businesses and an annual transaction volume exceeding 10 billion RMB. During the peak season, more than 5,000 railway express parcels are handled every day. The railway has not only shortened transportation times but also helped bring the region's specialty products to the national market.

Where transportation networks expand, industries thrive. More and more agricultural and livestock products from the Qinghai-Xizang plateau are reaching markets beyond the region, while increasing numbers of visitors are traveling to the plateau. Over the past two decades, Xizang's GDP has grown more than ninefold, while Qinghai's economic output has also surged significantly.

Protecting the environment

The Qinghai-Xizang plateau is the source of the Yangtze, Yellow, and Lancang rivers and serves as a crucial ecological security barrier for the world. From the very beginning of its construction, the Qinghai-Xizang Railway adopted a comprehensive environmental supervision system for the entire railway line — the first of its kind in China. It incorporated wildlife corridors, constructing bridges and passages for animal migration, and restoring fragile alpine grassland ecosystems. These efforts have created a new model for harmonious coexistence between railway development and nature.

An over 1,000-kilometer green corridor stretches along the foothills of the Kunlun Mountains. Nearly 8 million square meters of vegetation have restored life to the once barren Gobi landscape, while dozens of wildlife passages have remained unobstructed.

Thanks to sustained protection efforts, the Tibetan antelope population in the Xizang autonomous region has increased to over 300,000 at present. Populations of other rare wildlife, including Tibetan wild donkeys, wild yaks, and black-necked cranes, have steadily increased, indicating a continued positive trend in the plateau's ecological health.

Expanding openness

On June 28, the first "Xining–Balkhan" Central Asia freight train departed from Shuangzhai station in Xining,Qinghai province. Carrying cargo in 55 container cars, the cross-border train traveled 5,420 kilometers, leaving China via the Khorgos Port. It then traversed through Kazakhstan before reaching the ultimate station in Turkmenistan. The entire journey took approximately 14 to 15 days.

The launch marked further expansion of cross-border logistics links between the Qinghai-Xizang plateau and Central Asia. Since the first international freight train service began operating in 2016, Qinghai's international freight trains have connected 16 cities in 10 countries, accelerating the development of a diversified, efficient, and interconnected international logistics network.

"In 2025, the Xizang autonomous region's total foreign trade value reached 8.479 billion RMB, surpassing the 6 billion RMB target set in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025). Exports of combed pure wool yarn, wine, and Tibetan incense increased 80-fold, 17-fold, and twofold year on year, respectively," said Dan Zeng, an official at Lhasa Customs. "Products such as fragrant pork from Nyingchi and red wine from Shannan achieved their first-ever exports, while natural drinking water from the Ngari region successfully entered the South Asian market."
