HSE & Sustainability
This paper presents an approach to the identification, selection, and implementation of initiatives for sustainable water management, withdrawal reduction, and water valorization.
This paper explores the application of a modular, high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor to a Very Large Crude Carrier-class floating production, storage, and offloading vessel.
This paper describes the potential of combined-cycle technology (use of a gas turbine and a steam turbine together to turn fuel into electricity) in offshore carbon-capture applications.

SponsoredPolymer flooding increases the RF up to 20% at $3 to $6 per extra bbl of oil. It also contributes towards reducing CO2 emission by 3–6 times per bbl. It’s a proven technology with more than 300 projects worldwide. SNF offers modular plug and pump facilities connected to existing infrastructure.
