Winners of Dronestagram's 2017 Annual International Drone Photography Contest are announced. Among the submissions from talented professional photographers and amateur drone photo enthusiasts, three in each of the four categories of nature, people, urban, and creative were announced winners.

Part 2 of this two-part series presents a new methodology for sizing and rating three-phase separators based on quantifying the actual mechanisms and physics that govern separation performance. An example illustrates the calculations needed to achieve the specified outlet fluid qualities.

As interest in unconventional resources has grown in Europe, so have concerns about the potential environmental impacts of their development.

Operators need to take steps to protect their facilities from drone security breaches by outsiders. The costs an attacker incurs in developing tools to break into and control infrastructure is low compared to the costs an operator incurs in defending against those tools.

Avoiding debt problems and maintaining high-quality operations have kept Frank Lodzinski’s companies going through thick and thin.

Cost and delivery of long-distance natural gas pipelines to a distant liquefaction facility at a warm-water port has become excessive, and environmental restraints have been increasing. An alternative is an offshore ice-resistant LNG port accommodating a new class of LNG transport vessels.

To reduce the risks to arctic pipelines from natural or geologic hazards, a more sophisticated approach to routing compared to traditional methods based on only the shortest length of pipe or connectivity to existing infrastructure is needed.

As the design methodologies evolve for arctic pipelines, strudel scour, permafrost thaw settlement, and ice gouging need to be factored in with environmental and geotechnical data, limit states, and trenching and backfilling activities.

New approaches to arctic activities include a concept for an offshore ice-resistant LNG export terminal, the design of subsea pipelines, and the optimal routing for the pipelines to mitigate the unique risks in arctic regions such as ice-gouging and permafrost thaw.

Subsea Technologies' 2-in. hydraulically retractable subsea coupler is designed to optimize the engagement and disengagement of control line and large-bore fluid-containing lines in large subsea mechanical connectors. The coupler allows for greater flexibility in designing remote emergency release systems for subsea applications and enables people to be removed from s…

A federal appeals court is letting the Trump administration put on hold an Environmental Protection Agency methane pollution rule for oil and natural gas drilling.
