Onshore/Offshore Facilities
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
The US federal government is working to stymie offshore wind power, but proponents aren’t going quietly. Armed with data, they are taking on a sea of misinformation and hostility to defend the burgeoning resource in the US, while the rest of the world moves ahead briskly.
This paper reviews a proof-of-concept project in which surplus casing pipes were used in the fabrication of purposefully designed artificial reef structures for the enhancement of biodiversity and commercial fisheries.

Deepwater Yellowtail project, onstream 4 months ahead of schedule, is expected to produce an average of 250,000 BOPD. -
The collection of undeveloped blocks includes 59 located in Nigeria's deep water.
-
Short on skilled welders? For complex jobs like pressure-vessel seams, automation could be the key to keeping production safe, accurate, and on schedule.
-
Azule’s new FPSO is the first in the world to feature a pilot carbon capture and storage unit that sequesters CO₂ from onboard gas-turbine exhaust.
-
By closely monitoring its subsea boosting system, Shell extended maintenance intervals and safely postponed pump replacement at its ultradeepwater Stones field.
-
BP called the Bumerangue discovery in the Santos Basin the company’s largest find in 25 years, and announced it had begun production from its tieback project at Argos ahead of schedule.
-
This paper reviews best practices and learnings from floating-production-unit transportation and installation, hookup, and commissioning and discusses subsea flowlines, export pipelines, and subsea-equipment installations.
-
This paper addresses how close collaboration has enabled the development of a robust and cost-efficient solution for the Ormen Lange project by using carefully selected technology elements and an accelerated qualification process to mature them.
-
This study presents the development of a novel modeling tool designed to predict condensate emulsions, focusing on key factors causing emulsions such as pH, solid content, asphaltene concentration, droplet size, and organic acids.
-
With the right infrastructure and interoperability, subsea resident robotics could unlock more frequent, cost-effective inspections—and a new standard for offshore efficiency.
