Advance your career with the new Pipeline Engineering Program at the Technical University of Leoben, a 5-month course combining on-campus and online learning, integrating industry expertise, engineering practice, and future-ready skills for professionals in oil, gas, and emerging energy systems.
Plans call for license partner Aker BP to serve as operator during the development phase, with operatorship reverting to DNO after first oil in 2028.
Production from the Búzios field now tops 1 million B/D with six floating production systems in operation and more on the way.

The steel pipe manufacturer agrees to deliver outer pipes for pipe-in-pipe flowlines for a pair of recently-announced Aker BP projects in the Norwegian Sea. -
Completion of the umbilicals system marks another step toward startup for the Total-operated ultradeepwater development offshore Angola.
-
Many operators are taking a full-life-cycle approach to preparing for decommissioning—a shift borne of necessity amid cost and regulatory constraints.
-
With no money to be made, P&A is one area where operators can put aside their hyper-competitiveness to work together. Members of the recently formed PACE network discussed the virtues of collaboration at the Decommissioning and Abandonment Summit 2018.

Onshore development is increasing production, while investors demand greater operational efficiencies. Operators and service companies are striving to strike the balance between fiscal discipline and growing their production. How low can costs go, and for how long?
-
Gas turbine blades and large-scale printing machines highlight new advancements in additive manufacturing that are likely to affect the supply chain in the not-so-distant future.

Welcome to the Offshore Facilities feature in this month’s JPT. The three papers featured in this section were selected out of 141 submitted to SPE covering various elements of offshore facilities design, construction, installation, operation, and inspection.
-
Offshore project execution enhancement ideas are highlighted for debottlenecking, gas-hydrate-induced pipeline vibration, and the design of subsea systems for efficient startup.
-
The workflow aims to reduce the startup time of a subsea production system (SPS). A dynamic integrated model is used to adjust the scheduled SPS startup time. The model evaluates the dynamic simulation response of a large field startup by integrating a reservoir- and gathering-network model.
