Industry proponents and many leading academic institutions agree that natural gas is the safest, cleanest-burning bridge fuel. One risk in the development of this resource involves the inevitable leakage of methane.

The three papers in this issue address safe design of facilities, use of the chemical acrolein in an offshore environment, and the integration of reservoir and pipeline modeling to capture the variations in reservoir-flow dynamics with changes in the surface-network operating conditions.

Higher oil prices has created increased interest in chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) using polymers, surfactants, and alkalis. This technology poses some special challenges, especially around water treatment.

This paper reviews the key areas for facility designers and engineers to include when designing facilities to ensure safe facilities. Use and incorporation of the principles outlined in this paper should enable engineers and designers to build safe facilities that reduce the risk of major incidents.

Complexity is now a day-to-day parameter in the world of the subsea engineer. We are not developing these systems for fun; huge value is associated with maximizing recovery from these deep, remote oil and gas reservoirs.

Facilities engineering has grown with the industry’s advance into deep water and the development of complex subsea systems to produce the resources found there.

Offshore production systems can be impacted negatively by numerous problems attributed to bacterial activity, associated hydrogen sulfide and biogenic iron sulfides, and mercaptan production. Acrolein provides a distinctive all-in-one chemical solution to assist in resolving these problems.

Asset integrity management encompasses the design, operation, and maintenance of an asset to preserve its integrity at an acceptable level of risk throughout its operating life.

From 2006 to 2010, much of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) export construction activity occurred in the Middle East, in particular Qatar.

The present work describes the development of a 1D steady-state isothermal reservoir/surface gas-pipeline-network model. The developed model is an extension of the general pipeline-network model in which the deliverability from the wells is calculated.
