Onshore/Offshore Facilities
After a record year for LNG project approvals in 2025, multiyear repairs to war-damaged liquefaction facilities in Qatar and the UAE threaten to slow the growth of global LNG capacity.
The declaration builds on a memorandum of understanding the partners signed with Egypt in May to process Block 10 gas at the country’s LNG export and domestic gas facilities.
Alongside the new subsea awards, Equinor strengthened its position in the 400-million-bbl Bay du Nord development by acquiring BP’s interest in the project.
-
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.
-
An ecosystem-based management program is described to assess the potential sensitivities and contribution of the platform as an artificial reef.
-
After initial exploration, a prospect deep in the Amazon jungle was declared non-commercial. The authors discuss how the initial project planning contributed to the decommissioning effort by means of life-cycle planning.
-
Efficient separation assumes uniform flow, but the reality of inlet geometries can invalidate this assumption, leading to separation problems and loss of separation efficiency.
-
Projects are being delayed or deferred due to low oil prices, which is affecting the market for subsea, umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (SURF).
-
More precise measurement can create a dilemma. One example is the precise fluid flow measurements used to control managed pressure drilling (MPD) systems.
-
This paper addresses the standardized features applied to the 10,000-psi-rated subsea-system components at the Espirito Santos FPSO in the Campos basin offshore Brazil.
