Natural-gas-infrastructure reliability is critical for the energy sector. When capitalizing on old pipelines to transport natural gas, operators run the risk of partial blockage. In this study, the authors develop a multirate test method to detect partial blockage in a gas pipeline.

Increased fossil fuel use correlates strongly with increased standard of living, wealth, life expectancy, and food availability. Why are we so negative about something that has done so much good for so many people?

A floating gas-extraction facility was constructed to extract gas-laden water, separate the CH4 and some of the CO2, and reinject the degassed water, thus increasing the safety of the lake and simultaneously providing CH4.

Applying an economic analysis for Trinidad and Tobago's deepwater gas fiscal regime, results were calculated for various price scenarios to identify a workable strategy for development of offshore resources.

The engineering and operational planning to ensure that no uncontrolled hydrocarbon releases occur during the execution of subsea big-bore gas wells are described.

Subsea tieback of a new field to an existing offshore production facility is one option to minimize development costs.

This paper describes a new direct electrical heating method in flexible-pipe systems. The method effectively expands the operational envelope of flexible unbonded pipes with greater control of hydrate plugs and wax precipitation by distributed heating along the entire pipe length,

Medium-voltage electric heating systems offer reduced installation cost and increasing efficiency for multimegawatt oil and gas heating applications compared with low-voltage systems. For offshore applications, the systems offer the added benefit of both space and weight reductions.

Thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) is a spoolable, fully bonded pipe with glass or carbon-fiber reinforcements. While most often used in deep water, the combination of a solid wall, spoolability, and corrosion resistance makes TCP attractive for production-flowlines in shallow water also.

SPE presidents are asked a lot of questions, and I suppose that’s true of anyone who stands in front of an audience as an authority figure. But my favorite question is: What’s the Next Big Thing?
