The United States is producing a growing share of the world’s oil and gas, with a potential impact that remains uncertain. But continuing infrastructure development and technology advances will be critical in the long term.

We don’t include a structure like the Eiffel Tower with separators, pumps, and compressors on the top observation platform in an onshore development plan. And yet, how many jacket platforms are there around the world?

Aquabotix’s SwarmDiver technology marks a major milestone in the growing trend toward swarm-deployed underwater vehicles.

This paper suggests that the value of environmental monitoring during seismic acquisition can extend further than compliance, suggesting that the design and application of a comprehensive environmental monitoring program can bring substantial environmental benefits and extend working relationships.

Operator or manufacturer’s reports and published papers are reviewed and a criterion is developed for subsea pump selection.

Production from an offshore Angola field has been decreasing because of subsea pressure declines amid water-cut increases and limited gas compressor capacity. The development process leading to the selection of high-boosting multiphase pumps is described.

Subsea pumps are used for gas/liquid separation, subsea compression, and subsea boosting. Solutions aiming at cost reductions are crucial to make subsea processing projects feasible. A cost- and complexity-reduction solution for the subsea electrical power supply is a critical consideration.

The Moxa UC-8100-ME-T is a series of reduced instruction set computing (RISC) platforms designed for embedded data acquisition applications. The platforms are built around a Cortex-A8 RISC processor that has been optimized for use in energy monitoring systems. They are secure gateways for data acquisition and processing at field sites as well as communication platform…

Fluke’s 725x is an intrinsically safe multifunction calibrator designed for use in explosion endangered areas. It sources and measures almost all process parameters, including mA, volts, temperature (RTDs and thermocouples), frequency, ohms, and pressure. It has two-channel simultaneous source and measure capability for the calibration of transmitters, and it powers t…
