Onshore/Offshore Facilities
SPE Offshore Europe 2027 has unveiled its conference theme, “(Em)Powering Europe: Securing Our Energy Future,” and opened the call for technical paper proposals for the Aberdeen event.
Flow measurement touches almost every phase of oil and gas operations. Yet the industry still struggles to distinguish between what is directly measured, what is inferred, and what is estimated through models, correlations, or assumptions. That distinction matters. A measurement does not need to be perfect to be useful, but it must be fit for purpose.
The sale of Woodside’s Calypso stake to BP completes the company’s withdrawal from Trinidad and Tobago after decades of operations in the country.

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…
