Onshore/Offshore Facilities
The Granat prospect on the Norwegian Continental Shelf may be developed with a subsea tieback to existing infrastructure.
The planned facility was designed to process 34 MMcf/D of associated gas into fully refined gasoline.
The awards build on Tenaris’ role in earlier phases of the ultradeepwater Black Sea project.

Mark Bothamley's series quantifying separation performance in the August-December 2013 issues represents a significant addition to the literature in two-phase separator design. Ken Arnold proposes additional areas of study to take our knowledge even further. -
Deepwater capital expenditure is expected to more than double compared to the previous 5 year period. Douglas-Westwood also expects a continued trend toward exploration in ultradeepwaters in depths greater than 2000 m.

This paper demonstrates a design methodology that combines the API and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessels Code (BPVC) for designing an example subsea pressure containing component for HP/HT conditions greater than 15,000 psi and 250°F.
-
Water condensation and/or hydrate formation at the top of pipelines are serious design/operation considerations in pipelines. This paper reports the results of tests conducted in a new experimental setup constructed for investigating gas-hydrate risks in varied operational scenarios.
-
In recent years, an unprecedented upsurge in offshore field-development activity has been driven largely by the corresponding sustained surge in oil price on world markets.
-
Over the next decade, the number of electrically powered subsea systems in operation around the world will increase as companies adopt new technologies to produce oil and gas offshore more efficiently.
-
The lifespan of a huge, old oil field in Oklahoma is now linked to a fertilizer plant 68 miles away. Chaparral Energy is capturing 45 million ft3/D of carbon dioxide (CO2) that had previously been vented into the atmosphere in Coffeyville, Kansas, compressing it, and sending it via a pipeline.
-
Research into whether CO2 can be used to coax billions more barrels of oil from unconventional formations is beginning to show promise.
-
Tests showing increased recoveries in the Bakken formation using CO2 could have significant implications for the upstream oil and gas industry.
-
The world's first full-scale subsea gas compression system is the final stages of construction and is on schedule to be installed in the Åsgard gas field offshore Norway by year's end.
