Thanks to stepout-well and tieback technologies, Shell’s Mars platform is the first single offshore platform in the US Gulf to produce 1 billion bbl of crude over its lifetime with production expected to continue into the 2040s.
The new guidelines were released prior to reports that enhanced geothermal developer Fervo Energy experienced a blowout in Utah with no reported injuries.
Aramco says it has saved $770 million over the past 3 years from the $70 million it has invested over the same period in corrosion management technologies.
