Four types of fire- and blast-resistant walls for offshore installations are assessed, including internal vs. external fire and blast walls.

A new purpose-built center offers cutting-edge research, formulation analysis, and testing in one location.

Kuwait Oil Company started free gas production from its Jurassic sour-gas field in May 2008 with the commissioning of Early Production Facility (EPF) 50.

Monetizing offshore gas by compressing and shipping it in floating compressed-natural-gas (FCNG) carriers is simpler and, in most cases, less expensive than liquefying and shipping it in floating liquefied-natural-gas (FLNG) carriers.

Nanoparticle catalysts could play a major role in cleaning contaminated water for upstream oil and gas and other industries, says Michael Wong, chair of Rice University’s chemical and biomolecular engineering department.

During natural gas liquefaction, CO2 must be removed to prevent icing and plugging in the system. The CO2-removal system may be the most important part of the gas-treatment system.

As operators continue to drill into deeper and more-extreme formations, the demand for technologies suited to these environments increases.

With exploration in harsh environments and consequent high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, calculating reservoir properties has become complex and changes in pressure-transient response need to be understood and appreciated by taking appropriate measures.

FPWD provided a direct pressure measurement while drilling to set the lower boundary, and formation-integrity tests (FITs) with MPD provided the upper boundary.

Royal Dutch Shell CEO Ben van Beurden is to speak at the opening plenary session at SPE Offshore Europe 2017, which is being held in Aberdeen from 5–8 September.
