Query California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM, formerly DOGGR) oil, gas, and geothermal well data — wellbore details, operators, fields, injection and disposal wells, aquifer exemptions, and geothermal wells in the Salton Sea Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA). Use this skill when the user asks about California wells, CalGEM data, DOGGR records, Salton Sea lithium, Hell's Kitchen project, Controlled Thermal Resources, EnergySource, BHE Renewables, geothermal lithium, Imperial County geothermal brines, Kern County oilfield produced water, San Joaquin Basin wells, Monterey Formation, Los Angeles Basin wells, California produced water, California Class II injection wells, SB 1281 water reporting, or any California upstream regulatory data. Tie-in: USGS Produced Waters database, USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries, EPA Envirofacts UIC. Produces data tables with narrative summaries.

Query, analyze, and summarize U.S. energy data from the EIA (Energy Information Administration) Open Data API v2. Use this skill whenever the user asks about electricity prices, generation, demand, petroleum supply, natural gas production, storage, prices, or any U.S. energy statistics — even if they don't explicitly mention EIA or the API. Trigger for phrases like "how much gas is in storage", "electricity prices in Texas", "what's the national average price of gasoline", "natural gas production trend", "power generation by fuel type", "crude oil imports", "energy data", or any request for current or historical U.S. energy figures. Produces trend summaries and raw data tables with narrative analysis.

Query free open data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) API covering electric vehicles, energy prices, CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions, Net Zero Emissions scenario projections, CCUS policies, and SDG energy access. Use this skill whenever the user asks about global EV sales or stock, energy price comparisons across countries, carbon emissions by country or sector, Net Zero 2050 pathways, CCUS regulations, or SDG 7 energy access metrics. Trigger for phrases like "EV sales in China", "gasoline price in Europe", "CO2 emissions by country", "net zero scenario", "IEA data", "global EV stock share", "electricity price comparison", "carbon intensity trend", "CCUS policy", "energy access", or any request for international energy statistics beyond U.S.-only EIA data. Produces trend summaries and raw data tables.

Perform material balance, energy balance, and reaction stoichiometry calculations for chemical and petroleum engineering courses. Covers steady-state and transient material balances on single and multiple components, energy balances with heat of reaction, heating and cooling, phase equilibria basics, combustion calculations for natural gas, separator design balances, flash calculations, and reaction extent for refinery and gas processing applications. Use this skill when the user needs to solve mass balance problems, energy balance problems, stoichiometry, combustion air calculations, separator flash calculations, heat duty estimation, or reaction engineering calculations for ChBE 211, ChBE 321, or petroleum processing coursework. Trigger for phrases like "material balance on separator", "energy balance for heater treater", "combustion air for natural gas", "flash calculation", "reaction stoichiometry", "heat of combustion methane", "steady state mass balance", "recycle stream balance", "excess air calculation", or "heat duty for reboiler". Produces step-by-step solutions with labeled equations and Python code.

Query Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) oil and gas data — wells, production, Class II saltwater disposal (SWD), Arbuckle injection volumes, directive AOIs (induced seismicity), drilling permits, and completion records. Use this skill when the user asks about Oklahoma oil and gas wells, Oklahoma, OCC, Oklahoma Corporation Commission, Anadarko Basin production, Arkoma Basin, SCOOP/STACK, Mississippi Lime play, Hunton Lime dewatering, Arbuckle disposal, Class II disposal Oklahoma, induced seismicity, Oklahoma earthquakes, Pawnee earthquake, Prague earthquake, OCC SWD records, RBDMS well search, OCC Data Explorer, OCC Well Data Finder, Oklahoma UIC, or any Oklahoma upstream regulatory data. Critical for induced seismicity case studies, disposal capacity screening, and Li/Mg produced water research in Hunton, Arbuckle, and Mississippian brines. Produces data tables with narrative summaries, and cross-references with usgs-earthquakes for seismicity context.

Design and evaluate perforation programs for oil and gas wells including conventional single-zone and multi-cluster horizontal completions. Covers perforation phasing selection for casing stress and flow efficiency, shot density optimization, penetration depth correction from API RP 19B Berea surface test to in-situ conditions using rock strength and overburden adjustment, total perforation skin calculation using the Karakas-Tariq equations including phasing skin and wellbore skin components, underbalanced versus overbalanced perforating selection criteria and surge flow calculation, and limited entry perforation design for multi-cluster horizontal completions including friction-based diversion, entry hole velocity, and cluster-to- cluster distribution efficiency. Use when selecting gun and charge systems, calculating total skin from perforations, designing limited entry completions, evaluating perforation cluster efficiency, or optimizing stage design in horizontal wells. Trigger phrases include perforation skin, McLeod equation, shot density, phasing selection, limited entry design, cluster efficiency, underbalanced perforating, entry hole diameter, penetration depth correction, or perforation friction diversion.

Perform petrophysical log interpretation and formation evaluation for oil and gas wells. Covers shale volume from gamma ray using linear and Larionov methods, porosity from density log, sonic Wyllie time-average, and neutron-density crossplot, water saturation using Archie equation, Simandoux, and Indonesian equation for shaly sands, irreducible water saturation from Buckles number, moveable hydrocarbon index, net pay zone cutoffs, and brittleness index from compressional and shear slowness for completion quality assessment in unconventional reservoirs. Use when interpreting wireline logs, calculating formation properties, evaluating pay zones, estimating reservoir quality, or working through log analysis for PNGE courses. Trigger phrases include shale volume from GR, Archie water saturation, neutron density crossplot, sonic porosity, log interpretation, net pay cutoff, completion quality from logs, brittleness index, Sw calculation, Vshale, formation evaluation, petrophysical analysis, or Marcellus log interpretation.
