Onshore/Offshore Facilities
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.
The 2026 Upstream Scale Guidelines establish a common workflow for field measurements, scale modeling, and risk assessment to support more consistent operational decisions.
Shell has reached FID on LNG Canada Phase 2, a major expansion that will double the Kitimat facility’s LNG export capacity to 28 mtpa and strengthen long-term supply to growing Asian markets.

The influx-management-envelope (IME) concept is an advanced, innovative way to assess influx conditions in managed-pressure-drilling (MPD) operations, offering an improved tool for the decision-making process. -
Sustainable cost reductions through innovation and standardization will have more of a positive effect on the offshore sector than cyclical oil-price increases, an OTC panel of industry participants agreed.
-
Advanced AUVs with early-stage technologies for live streaming, ultrasonic testing, and 3D laser scanning are set to enter inspection trials on North Sea facilities. The aim is to reduce facilities inspection costs by 50%.
-
The joint venture will include work on P&A, towage of floating units, and removal of subsea infrastructure, with the ultimate goal of providing the full end-to-end process for decommissioning.
-
Subsea 7 completed the acquisition of Siem Offshore Contractors along with a cable-lay vessel and a support vessel.

TechnipFMC confirms the December shipment of LNG from its new facility in northern Russia, one of the largest integrated LNG projects in the world.
-
Aquabotix’s SwarmDiver technology marks a major milestone in the growing trend toward swarm-deployed underwater vehicles.
-
We don’t include a structure like the Eiffel Tower with separators, pumps, and compressors on the top observation platform in an onshore development plan. And yet, how many jacket platforms are there around the world?
-
Subsea pumps are used for gas/liquid separation, subsea compression, and subsea boosting. Solutions aiming at cost reductions are crucial to make subsea processing projects feasible. A cost- and complexity-reduction solution for the subsea electrical power supply is a critical consideration.
-
Operator or manufacturer’s reports and published papers are reviewed and a criterion is developed for subsea pump selection.
