  • This month's papers are all offshore-related, covering a gas-to-liquids FPSO, facility startup, debottlenecking, and corrosion.
  • Papers in this month's issue cover the API standard for subsea equipment, produced water challenges in mature fields, hydrate formation, and liquid-loading in aging gas developments.
  • This month's papers cover application of multiphase pumps in developing marginal deepwater fields, passive fire protection needs, simulation of gas pipeline networks, and novel technologies for increasing the energy efficiency of offshore facilities.
