Onshore/Offshore Facilities
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.
-
Emerging solutions could solve current subsea pain points, while a new taxonomy system could clarify the capabilities of the expanding domain of underwater vehicles. -
As LNG projects sanctioned earlier this decade come onstream, a shortage of new final and pre-final investment decisions threatens to leave the project pipelines dry at a time when global LNG demand is forecast to surge over the next 15 years.
-
This study aims to use machine-learning techniques to predict well logs by analyzing mud-log and logging-while-drilling data.
-
This paper reviews best practices and learnings from floating-production-unit transportation and installation, hookup, and commissioning and discusses subsea flowlines, export pipelines, and subsea-equipment installations.
-
This paper addresses how close collaboration has enabled the development of a robust and cost-efficient solution for the Ormen Lange project by using carefully selected technology elements and an accelerated qualification process to mature them.
-
This study presents the development of a novel modeling tool designed to predict condensate emulsions, focusing on key factors causing emulsions such as pH, solid content, asphaltene concentration, droplet size, and organic acids.
-
With the right infrastructure and interoperability, subsea resident robotics could unlock more frequent, cost-effective inspections—and a new standard for offshore efficiency.
-
This study explores enhancing gas production through a novel combination of prestimulation using a coiled tubing unit and high-rate matrix acidizing.
-
This work introduces a fast, methodical approach to detect liquid loading using easily available field data while avoiding traditional assumptions and to determine critical gas rates directly from field data.
-
This paper discusses the journey of the Bonga North project, highlighting challenges and resolution strategies in a constantly changing deepwater environment.
