Onshore/Offshore Facilities
The deepwater infill project is Esso Nigeria's first drilling campaign in a decade and is expected to boost Usan's production by up to 40,000 B/D.
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.

Linhua4-1 was China’s first tieback subsea development project. To develop this marginal oil field, a number of technical challenges were overcome through a series of new technologies, and their successful development and implementation. -
As offshore development moves into deeper waters, harsh environments, and longer distances, the economic and practical advantages of moving as many components to the seafloor as possible has become a driving factor in technology development.

LNG will increasingly be the way to bring stranded gas to market so that it can meet demands for clean-burning fuels. LNG basics for engineers was the subject of a recent webinar presentation.

Modularizing components for facilities sounds like a great idea, but may not be as simple as it seems. The lack of standards is a major impediment. You have to know that parts will work together. But the process of modularization has started and will continue.
-
The root cause analysis of corrosion failure in a heat exchanger revealed inadequate cleaning, ineffective microbial control, and subpar monitoring of cooling water quality.
-
In the next 20 years, there will be a large increase in global natural-gas demand, with an average growth rate of more than 1.8% per year. The top two leading countries in rising gas demand are China (7% per year) and India (4.7% per year).
-
There is an increasing need to understand the strength and durability of subsea wellheads and conductors.
-
This paper presents results from full-scale testing of a flexible riser equipped with embedded sensors for distributed-temperature sensing (DTS).
-
The paper assesses the technology implications of migrating LNG floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) concepts to inshore service.
-
A rigorous modeling approach is developed for effective management and inventory analysis of natural-gas storage in underground salt caverns.
