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.

The Tamar deepwater gas development offshore Israel experienced a short 4-year gap between discovery and startup, but doing so required the tough decisions in handling significant flow assurance issues. -
Espirito Santo: Design and Operational Experience of the Use of Steel Risers on a Turret-Moored FPSOThe floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) facility Espirito Santo, located offshore Brazil in the Parque das Conchas (BC-10) field, is the world’s first turret-moored FPSO facility to use steel risers for fluid transfer.
-
Flow assurance issues offshore fall into three main categories -- production chemistry (deposition), operational issues (sand, slugging, foaming, emulsions) and integrity (corrosion, erosion)
-
This paper presents data from both pilot tests and field tests of a recent burner retrofit of a horizontal heater treater at an oil sands field in northern Canada.
-
Reliability analysis helps identify bottlenecks, assess risk, improve availability, and optimize maintenance. The challenge in Arctic regions is the lack of data -- normal climate analogs may not apply.
-
This paper posits a design method for subsea equipment governed by American Petroleum Institute (API) Specification (spec.) 17 (and particularly 17D).
-
Carbon-molecular-sieve membranes (CMSMs) are a promising candidate for natural-gas purification because of their excellent stability, permeation selectivity, and permeability.
-
Small- and medium-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) is different from conventional LNG in trading distances, target markets, and application areas. Small- and medium-scale LNG may better coordinate needs between regional gas producers and consumers.
-
Among the top 10 largest discoveries in 2013, half of them are natural-gas discoveries and all of them are in offshore environments, primarily in Africa, Far East Asia, and transcontinental countries, with estimated resources of more than 4,000 million BOE.
-
There are already many floating liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) receiving terminals operating successfully in the world. The economics of floating LNG (FLNG) is compelling. Major cost savings can be achieved by the streamlining allowed by FLNG processes.
