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.
ExxonMobil’s Letter of Intent to begin preliminary engineering and procurement work for Mozambique’s Rovuma LNG project bridges the development to a final EPC contract, which Area 4 partners are expected to award following an FID anticipated by year-end 2026.

This year has seen a focus on gas development projects and the energy transition. Flow assurance plays an interesting role in this area. Even though the attention has been on the energy transition, where gas development is concerned, the production processes through which gas is produced cannot be ignored. Thus, flow-assurance issues remain prevalent today, and an ana… -
In this paper, the authors present data analyses to comprehensively evaluate the performance of a steady-state multiphase-flow point model in predicting high-pressure, near-horizontal data from independent experiments.

Prior to proceeding with a contract to fulfil a rigless P&A campaign for Sasol in Mozambique, BiSN designed a field trial to prove the effectiveness of its bismuth plug technology. Although the technology had been used in 19 countries by BiSN for a variety of downhole applications, it had not yet been qualified for use in Mozambique.
