Onshore/Offshore Facilities
Despite significant progress in capturing associated gas for domestic use, Iraq remains the world’s third-largest gas-flaring country as it aims for higher oil and gas production targets.
The 2026 Upstream Scale Guidelines establish a common workflow for field measurements, scale modeling, and risk assessment to support more consistent operational decisions.
Shell has reached FID on LNG Canada Phase 2, a major expansion that will double the Kitimat facility’s LNG export capacity to 28 mtpa and strengthen long-term supply to growing Asian markets.

Monetizing offshore gas by compressing and shipping it in floating compressed-natural-gas (FCNG) carriers is simpler and, in most cases, less expensive than liquefying and shipping it in floating liquefied-natural-gas (FLNG) carriers. -
Kuwait Oil Company started free gas production from its Jurassic sour-gas field in May 2008 with the commissioning of Early Production Facility (EPF) 50.
-
During natural gas liquefaction, CO2 must be removed to prevent icing and plugging in the system. The CO2-removal system may be the most important part of the gas-treatment system.
-
A methodology is proposed for design of subsea flowlines and risers coupled with a subsea high-integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS) for fields with high shut-in tubing pressure (SITP).
-
On the 201st anniversary of the founding of the first commercial gas operation, the Gas, Light and Coke Company (later British Gas), the future for natural gas has never looked better.
-
This paper discusses the available methodologies for remediation of a pipeline affected by sand and presents examples where the discussed methodologies have been applied.
-
Industry has overcome the technical challenges with decommissioning in shallow water. But as deepwater structures require removal, a whole new set of decommissioning challenges will require new solutions. This article highlights some of these challenges.
-
This paper presents a methodology to estimate the probability of failure of every individual corrosion defect and the residual likelihood of failure of an overall corroded pipeline segment after selected repairs, using structural probabilistic analysis.
-
Increasing gas demand and the requirement for short-term to medium-term import solutions have led to rapid growth in the floating regasification sector in recent years.
-
This paper presents the results of tests conducted to design a fast-breaking gelled fluid for a debris-removal operation in a long, large-diameter subsea pipeline in the Asia Pacific region. where traditional pigging was not an option.
