Both finds will be tied back to the nearby Ram-Powell TLP.

Spending plans announced by oil and gas companies indicate that about 80% of their budgets are directed toward traditional E&P, efforts to reduce emissions and carbon footprints, and sustainable investment in new energy.

When it comes to workers’ salaries in oil and gas vs. clean energy, how does their compensation compare? The answer depends on the roles of workers and their locations, qualifications, experience, training—and personal decisions.

The goal of this paper is to improve the understanding of uncertainties affecting well performance and reservoir connectivity in an offshore Malaysian field.
