As many platforms begin to produce beyond their design life, maintenance of mooring systems becomes more critical. With redundancies in place, operators may be unaware of initial failures, which can have major consequences if another failure occurs.

Projects are being delayed or deferred due to low oil prices, which is affecting the market for subsea, umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (SURF).

Preferential engineering adds complexity and cost. The author's manifesto focuses on simple and elegant, combined with collaboration to meet future facilities needs.

An underperforming scrubber that was suffering from too much oil carry-over is described along with options for debottlenecking and improving performance.

To support subsea processing of heavy crudes, an inline electrocoalescer was tested for separation of water droplets dispersed in the crude oil.

After initial exploration, a prospect deep in the Amazon jungle was declared non-commercial. The authors discuss how the initial project planning contributed to the decommissioning effort by means of life-cycle planning.

An ecosystem-based management program is described to assess the potential sensitivities and contribution of the platform as an artificial reef.

The authors discuss the results of a pilot project to capture post-combustion CO2 for purposes of EOR.

A webinar on scrubber design explains how to enhance separation efficiency by using an inline cyclonic separator as a pre-separator upstream of the scrubber.

"Gas Scrubber Design and Validation for Robust Separation Duty" is the title of a special session planned by the Separations Technology Technical Section.
