Onshore/Offshore Facilities
War‑related infrastructure damage is beginning to influence global energy supply chains in ways that could reshape project development and capacity growth.
Sulzer and JSIL are teaming up to provide the service for oil and gas, power generation, and industrial operations.
The deal includes Waygate’s inspection portfolios and is expected to close later this year.

In a down market, plugging and abandoning North Sea wells looks like an opportunity. The cost for operators is reduced because the government is paying more than half of the cost of the work, and many service companies hungry for work are offering discounts. -
Conventional wisdom implies that natural-gas demand will continue to grow, especially in locations where coal is being phased out, nuclear growth has slowed/reversed, and renewables remain a small and intermittent energy source for the foreseeable future.
-
Active slug-control methods have been developed in recent years. One such system is a relatively inexpensive solution developed by Shell that has proved to be very effective in stabilizing slugging in flowlines and risers.
-
As subsea electric lines age, they are prone to cracks that allow seawater in, reducing their effectiveness, and if the leaks are bad enough, they can shut down operations.
-
A data-driven approach to successfully analyze and evaluate production-fluid impact during facility system divert events is presented. The work flow effectively identifies opportunities for prompt event mitigation and system optimization.
-
Low prices will constrain maintenance and modifications in the coming year. However, maintenance can only be delayed so long, leading to a long-term outlook of growth in the market for maintenance, modifications, and operations.
-
An underperforming scrubber that was suffering from too much oil carry-over is described along with options for debottlenecking and improving performance.
-
Construction costs, contractor involvement, flow assurance, and the integration of new technologies created to improve production are some of the deepwater challenges exacerbated by the current low price environment.
-
To support subsea processing of heavy crudes, an inline electrocoalescer was tested for separation of water droplets dispersed in the crude oil.

Learn how different inlet designs affect fluid dynamics and ultimately scrubber performance.
