Onshore/Offshore Facilities
The Absheron gas field expansion will supply additional natural gas to Azerbaijan’s domestic market and support its export commitments to Turkey, allowing Baku to stay focused on meeting its gas export obligations to Europe.
A credible custody-transfer record depends on far more than the accuracy of a single meter. It is the product of an integrated measurement chain. While meter performance supports measurement-system integrity, commercial confidence also depends on traceability, governance, and authorization.
Despite significant progress in capturing associated gas for domestic use, Iraq remains the world’s third-largest gas-flaring country as it aims for higher oil and gas production targets.

Subsea pumps are used for gas/liquid separation, subsea compression, and subsea boosting. Solutions aiming at cost reductions are crucial to make subsea processing projects feasible. A cost- and complexity-reduction solution for the subsea electrical power supply is a critical consideration. -
Operator or manufacturer’s reports and published papers are reviewed and a criterion is developed for subsea pump selection.
-
Production from an offshore Angola field has been decreasing because of subsea pressure declines amid water-cut increases and limited gas compressor capacity. The development process leading to the selection of high-boosting multiphase pumps is described.

-
At least four US pipeline companies have seen their electronic systems for communicating with customers shut down over the last few days, with three confirming it resulted from a cyberattack.
-
An 18-month project will develop and trial a mobile robot for autonomous operational inspection of Total facilities.
-
Currently, the state of the art for subsea well control is based on hydraulic technology. Hydraulic fluid is supplied from a host facility to the subsea wells through dedicated tubes within an umbilical and is distributed to the wells.
-
Despite a dip earlier in the year, natural-gas prices remained steady over 2017, averaging $2.99/million Btu. … Early 2018 has been a different story, however, with natural-gas prices already hitting a couple of peaks (of greater than $5/million Btu according to the Henry Hub Spot Price history).
-
Offshore oil-exploration drilling and testing are key for the production of oil; however, a number of associated challenges, particularly the handling of associated gas, must be overcome.
-
This paper presents details of the retrofit scrubber design and shows the importance of using high-efficiency separation internals.
