Field/project development
Nitzana will enable Israel to double gas exports to Egypt from the giant Leviathan gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Supermajor BP awards contract to same specialists who commissioned its Argos platform.
Train 4 is expected to add 6 million tonnes per year of capacity to the South Texas liquefied natural gas project when it goes online in 2030.

Facilities engineering has grown with the industry’s advance into deep water and the development of complex subsea systems to produce the resources found there. -
Shell’s Parque das Conchas project, an ultradeepwater heavy-oil development in the northern Campos basin offshore Brazil, has won the IPTC Excellence in Project Integration Award. The award recognizes significant and unique achievements in managing and directing a project from discovery to delivery.
-
Earlier studies showed that the results of oil and gas megaprojects were quite similar to the results from other industries. More investigation shows a poorer track record, largely due to the poor functional integration that characterizes upstream project organizations.
-
The ultimate success of a deepwater project depends on phases from early concept selection, design, construction, commissioning, and startup to operation. However, the boundaries and transfer of responsibilities may not be sharply demarcated between phases.
-
Cost estimation for facilities depends on early concept selection and critical inputs, often complicated by uncertainty in one or more of the critical inputs. Empirical cost models and cost modeling methods using these inputs vary in degrees of scope, comprehensiveness, and robustness.

Final commissioning and initial startup was the source of lively discussion at a recent applied technology workshop held in New Orleans. A summary of key points is provided.
