In a move tied to national security, a Trump-appointed committee voted to exempt oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from Endangered Species Act requirements, marking the first such exemption in 3 decades.
PTTEP and SPE formalized a new partnership at OTC Asia 2026 to advance technical knowledge, professional development, and collaboration across the energy sector. The agreement aims to turn global expertise into practical solutions for inspection, maintenance, and asset integrity—key priorities in an evolving industry.
The global oil and gas industry is reimagining natural gas processing and handling in response to environmental pressures, economic realities, and technological opportunities. The predominant narrative is one of transition.

The 50-MW Kincardine Offshore Windfarm is 15 km off the coast of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in water depths from 60 to 80 m. -
The Windstaller Alliance will combine the capabilities of three global service providers to offer product deliveries, fabrication services, marine and subsea operations, and associated engineering services to renewable energy developers and operators.

Alternative investment firm acquires LNG transportation specialist for $1.5 billion.
-
The investigation and cleanup of the oil spill, originating from a rupture in an Amplify Energy pipeline in the Beta field, is ongoing.
-
The price of natural gas has more than doubled this year in many parts of the world. The ripple effects are starting to be felt, but how wide they will spread may not be known until winter comes.
-
The UK’s Net Zero Technology Centre looks to pave the way for new well P&A technologies to be tested, trialed, and brought to market quickly.
-
Decommissioning decision makers often need to determine the best and most practicable options for pipelines, flowlines, and power cables, including leave-in-place strategies or removal. This study presents results from several evaluations using advanced methods to support the determination of options.
-
These four technical papers provide an overview of how facility decommissioning is addressed these days, including a case study in east Asia and a discussion of what to do with pipelines, flowlines, and umbilicals to preserve the environment—should they stay, or should they go?
-
This paper reviews the existing planning process for decommissioning projects on the UK Continental Shelf and explores an alternative approach using the facility removal date instead of the cessation of production date.
-
This paper discusses various best practice technical strategies for decommissioning which can be applied in the Southeast Asia region, and throughout the world. The strategies proposed can result in an estimated operator saving of more than 30% over the entire decommissioning execution expenditure. The processes discussed are included in the typical steps of prelimina…
