Onshore/Offshore Facilities
Estimates commissioned by the Australian government suggest that increasing efficiency will lower costs for decommissioning offshore Australia.
This paper introduces an AI-driven digital fencing system designed to boost security in oil and gas fields. The main objectives are to improve security and safety of oil and gas facilities while addressing the limitations of legacy physical barriers, reducing false alarms, and eliminating the dependability on the grid in favor of renewable energy.
The contract will cover the design and manufacturing of tree systems, flexible flowlines, a manifold, and controls, as well as installation of the subsea production system.

The global subsea vessels market is expected to reach more than USD 100 billion in the next five years, with demand up by 23%. -
There are few deepwater-pipeline operators with expertise in pipeline repairs. This paper describes a strategy developed and implemented on deepwater-pipeline intervention, based on a deepwater operational experience built over a decade.
-
This paper illustrates a numerical approach to estimate the deposition profile of precipitated wax crystals and its effect on flow-related parameters in pipelines. Options for avoiding these issues are also explored.
-
In this study, software that is capable of modeling fully transient multiphase flow in wellbore and pipeline has been used to characterize the fluid-hammer effects of well shut-in and startup on the coupled subsurface and surface systems.
-
Alternative approaches and new deployment strategies are being developed to manage water used for fracturing oil and gas wells.
-
As with many monitoring and decision support tools, riser management systems originate from the engineering community so may assume a large degree of domain knowledge.
-
Fiber-optic-system installations have reduced the need for intervention by logging tools and have given crucial insights into wellbore integrity and reservoir production.
-
As the world's supply of crude becomes heavier, many of the world’s oil producers will have to think more carefully about heavy crudes and the challenges they pose for processing, storage, and transportation.
-
Strong demand for natural gas is driving a recovery in liquefied natural gas (LNG) expenditures worldwide, with expenditures expected to reach USD 228 billion in the next five years.
-
In this second article of a three-part series, methods for improved quantification of operating performances of the gas gravity separation, the mist extraction, and the liquid gravity separation sections of gas/liquid separators are discussed.
