Recent and upcoming programming for PFC members is discussed.

The deployment of appropriate CO2-separation technologies for natural gas processing is viewed as an abatement measure toward global CO2-emissions reduction. Selection of the optimum technology requires special attentiion.

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.

A summary of the OTC panel discussion on the potential cybersecurity risks companies face from malicious actors, risk mitigation strategies, and emerging security standards.

When panels in an instrument equipment shelter kept tripping and the occasional smell of H2S led to an investigation of the rationale. Although a rare occurrence, this paper presents a strategy for prevention through careful site selection.

As cyberattackers find ways to exploit the vulnerabilities in present security systems, the industry continues to develop more robust cybersecurity controls to protect its assets.

This paper focuses on the applicability of subsea processing technology employing multiphase pumps to develop marginal fields commercially. Analytical methods were used to evaluate the pumps, and the results were validated through case studies in specific fields.

This paper describes a series of linear analogs and a solution strategy to improve the accuracy of the Newton-Raphson method for simulating complex natural gas transmission networks.

Passive fire protection (PFP) has been used as a method to avoid/delay global collapse of offshore installations. Location of PFP is often based on simplistic assumptions, standards, guidance, and methods that do not always consider the real response of the structure to fire.

Decision making is a critically important part of engineering. In this article, the author argues that the day-to-day project execution decisions are more important than major project decisions and deserve more attention.
