Onshore/Offshore Facilities
ExxonMobil and its Area 4 partners have awarded $1.1 billion in pre-investment contracts for long-lead upstream equipment supporting Mozambique's Rovuma LNG project. The awards, led by OneSubsea, mark a key step toward FID as development advances on ExxonMobil's largest global investment.
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 recurring long-term mitigation of slugging and various flow-assurance phenomena are challenging issues that demand attention and considerable technical effort. The three papers outlined here discuss slightly different issues and approaches to slug-flow phenomena and flow assurance. -
The complete paper develops a plausible physical model of the experimentally observed pseudoslug liquid-holdup phenomenon and models physical and hydrodynamic behavior using a dimensional regression modeling approach.
-
The charter agreement for the LNG-propulsion vessels is in line with Total’s Climate Ambition and will cut down on several emissions.
-
The data have been collected and analyzed from more than 18,000 equipment units with failure and maintenance records and includes information on subsea fields with more than 2,000 years of operating experience.
-
The subsea-technology company’s LUMA X subsea wireless communication modem will enable real-time streaming of HD-quality video and 4K images wirelessly through water, allowing the operators of autonomous underwater vehicles to monitor its interventions from its control rooms onshore.
-
Engie’s delayed supply contract with NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG project is for 20 years. FID on the project is expected in 2021.
-
Future offshore oil and gas fields are likely to be satellite developments that emit less greenhouse gas because they do not require new production platforms. A new computational tool is now enabling the design of longer pipelines that will allow many more fields to be developed as satellites.
-
Cyberhawk will provide drone inspection, surveying, data visualization services, and inspection reports.
-
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement approved the conversion of the Lena compliant tower platform into an artificial reef under the bureau’s Rigs to Reefs program.
-
The newly launched video series featuring speaker Bob Chin, the creator and editor of the OGF Savvy Separator Series of articles, provides a basic level of understanding of separator design and troubleshooting.
