Onshore/Offshore Facilities

This paper presents an automated underwater robot and a nondestructive testing eddy-current probe for alternating-current field measurement analysis of jacket main welds.

Offshore wind power involves generating electricity from wind farms located at sea. Because wind speeds are generally higher offshore than on land, these farms produce more electricity for the same amount of installed capacity. Both wind and solar energy are renewable and do not emit carbon, which helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels such as oil and gas.

This study proposes graphene nanoplatelets as a preflush system to extend the lifetime of a conventional scale-inhibitor squeeze treatment.

The goal of the project described in this paper was to test the added value of shear-wave velocity interpreted from underwater multichannel analysis surface waves, particularly as a propagation tool of geotechnical information.

This paper describes the design of compact carbon-capture modules, including post-combustion CO₂ removal process technology, for applications on offshore facilities.

Since the late 1930s, the offshore industry has advanced from the first platform in 14 ft of water to the ultradeepwater 20K era. Driven by seismic, drilling, and development breakthroughs, the industry has pushed into deeper waters, high-pressure reservoirs, and new frontiers like Guyana, continually expanding the limits of offshore exploration.

By the end of 2025, a floating wind turbine will supply power to the operator’s Culzean platform in the Central North Sea.

The environmental analysis found no significant effects from issuing leases.

Proving that green hydrogen can efficiently power steel pipe manufacturing could advance the EU’s plan to decarbonize its heavy industry by importing the sustainable fuel from North Africa after 2030.

Investment in the Kingfisher and Tilenga upstream projects together with the East African Crude Oil Pipeline and a new refinery represents a $20-billion economic lift to the country.
