While Uzbekistan has seen a significant drop in flaring, methane leaks from deteriorating infrastructure continue to reveal themselves to satellites in space.
Analysts weigh near‑term risks for Middle East oil and gas producers after a tentative 2‑week ceasefire between the US‑Israeli coalition and Iran.
The North Sea project, which is sending production to the nearby Ivar Aasen platform, came online 9 months ahead of schedule.

Wearable computers are turning heads in the oil and gas industry and appear to be on a trajectory for widespread adoption. -
Bureau Veritas made available its guide to decommissioning regulations in the UK Continental Shelf.

Cold finger tests are a standard method for testing paraffin inhibitors, but there is no standard testing protocol, and sometimes different labs can see inconsistent results. Shell and BHGE studied the root causes of these issues.

Ground sensors on assets over a broad area have limited returns on investment if the asset life cycle is less than 10 years, and obsolescence of the technology if it exceeds 10 years. Complementing sensors with aerial remote sensing at scale may help to mitigate these issues.
-
Oversizing a separator ensures meeting the life cycle needs of a facility, but are we setting ourselves up for failure in the long run? With peak rates typically being short-lived at best, or at worse, well beyond actual production rates, more weight needs to be given to the tail-end of production.

BHGE opened its largest Customer Solutions Center globally for its inspection technologies business.

When two engineers lost their jobs during the industry downturn, they used the misfortune as an opportunity to develop an innovative concept that aims to make it a lot easier to move subsea gas long distances.
-
Risk-based design is very important, especially for complex systems, because a deterministic approach may not provide a strong underpinning to the reliability estimation of the downhole tools. We have to reduce the probability of failure.

The US re-imposing sanctions on Iran has prompted Total to consider dropping its stake in a project designed to bolster output from the world’s largest gas field.
