Field/project development
With confidence in subsea boosting performance growing, BP is incorporating pumping systems into both greenfield developments and brownfield expansions.
New agreements for exploration and production in Africa include activity in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia, offshore Angola, Senegal, and Côte d’Ivoire. In the Gulf of Mexico, a memorandum of understanding for deepwater evaluation was signed between Woodside Energy and PEMEX and Viridien initiated its Walker Ridge Reimaging Extension. TotalEnergies provided a targe…
