This paper demonstrates a design methodology that combines the API and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessels Code (BPVC) for designing an example subsea pressure containing component for HP/HT conditions greater than 15,000 psi and 250°F.

In this study, a pilot plant with a capacity of 50 m3/d was used to conduct flotation, filtration, and adsorption trials for produced-water treatment at a crude-oil gathering facility.

The United States shale boom brought the issue of social license to operate (SLO) to the forefront.

As production from mature basins onshore and in shallow water declines, the development of deepwater reserves has become vital. Consequently, production and Capex are expected to rise.

This article explores the outlook for the global market and gives insight into technology trends and the regions that hold the biggest opportunities for water treatment.

The application of lessons learned in projects is generally a trusted approach to tackling design challenges. However, the design of onshore production systems for unconventional resources does not allow for straightforward crossover from onshore or offshore conventional to unconventional systems.

This month's peer-approved papers cover weather windows of opportunity, optimization of a template for Arctic subsea systems, slugging in risers, and mechanical vapor recompression for treatment of shale-gas flowback water.

Because of extremely high internal and external pressures, unconventional separator designs must be used in ultradeepwater applications. A major operator has qualified a number of subsea technologies covering a wide range of operating conditions and fluid properties that encompass its subsea portfol

Water condensation and/or hydrate formation at the top of pipelines are serious design/operation considerations in pipelines. This paper reports the results of tests conducted in a new experimental setup constructed for investigating gas-hydrate risks in varied operational scenarios.

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