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.

As offshore development moves into deeper waters, harsh environments, and longer distances, the economic and practical advantages of moving as many components to the seafloor as possible has become a driving factor in technology development. -
LNG will increasingly be the way to bring stranded gas to market so that it can meet demands for clean-burning fuels. LNG basics for engineers was the subject of a recent webinar presentation.

Modularizing components for facilities sounds like a great idea, but may not be as simple as it seems. The lack of standards is a major impediment. You have to know that parts will work together. But the process of modularization has started and will continue.
-
The paper assesses the technology implications of migrating LNG floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) concepts to inshore service.
-
A rigorous modeling approach is developed for effective management and inventory analysis of natural-gas storage in underground salt caverns.
-
This paper describes Saudi Aramco’s efforts to eliminate early foaming incidents during the commissioning stage of the Karan nonassociated (NA) sour-gas field.
-
In the next 20 years, there will be a large increase in global natural-gas demand, with an average growth rate of more than 1.8% per year. The top two leading countries in rising gas demand are China (7% per year) and India (4.7% per year).
-
There is an increasing need to understand the strength and durability of subsea wellheads and conductors.
-
This paper presents results from full-scale testing of a flexible riser equipped with embedded sensors for distributed-temperature sensing (DTS).
-
The root cause analysis of corrosion failure in a heat exchanger revealed inadequate cleaning, ineffective microbial control, and subpar monitoring of cooling water quality.
