Onshore/Offshore Facilities
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.

Flow assurance effects from slugging and various types of solids deposition during engineering, design, maintenance, and operations still create challenging technical issues needing safe, economical solutions. The recurring long-term mitigation of flow assurance phenomena such as the deposition of wax, erosion, asphaltenes, corrosion, and salt, still demands attention…
