In the current economic environment, efficient water management practices will become even more essential for companies looking to run successful hydraulic fracturing operations.

The oil and gas industry must learn to engage with local citizens better if it is to build upon its social license to operate. A joint PFC/HSE luncheon during ATCE addressed this topic.

The failure rate for megaprojects is often blamed on complexity. A dinner during ATCE asked whether there is a limit to the degree of complexity we are capable of effectively managing.

In its fifth year, the Separations Technology Technical Section has grown to more than 1000 members. The new section chair provides his perspective on what the future holds.

Bypass pigging has advantages over conventional approaches. Its application to multi-phase flow with high wax content crude is discussed.

Oil and gas wells often produce sand or solids with the well fluids. Despite exclusionary well designs, these solids can cause equipment failure, completion problems, or changes in production. This paper offers a way to remove solids in separators.

OGF thanks those involved in the peer reviewing of papers during 2015.

Deepwater production has become more reliant on the integrity of subsea, umbilical, riser, and flowline (SURF) systems. A JIP explored cost-effective inspection and maintenance options.

The sources and magnitude of shear and the effects on oil droplet size can have significant consequences for downstream separation equipment performance.

Change is constant in the oil and gas industry, bringing an increase in operational risk. As companies acquire and develop assets around the world, they must reduce their risk exposure by improving operational integrity.
