Onshore/Offshore Facilities
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.
This paper presents a study that confirms glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined tubing as a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term water-injection service in moderate-salinity offshore environments.
A circular economy emphasizes reducing, reusing, recycling, and removing parts of existing systems to optimize them with respect to resource utilization. The following papers demonstrate how these pillars of a circular economy are enabling operators all over the world.
-
This study explores enhancing gas production through a novel combination of prestimulation using a coiled tubing unit and high-rate matrix acidizing. -
This work introduces a fast, methodical approach to detect liquid loading using easily available field data while avoiding traditional assumptions and to determine critical gas rates directly from field data.
-
This paper discusses the journey of the Bonga North project, highlighting challenges and resolution strategies in a constantly changing deepwater environment.
-
As LNG projects sanctioned earlier this decade come onstream, a shortage of new final and pre-final investment decisions threatens to leave the project pipelines dry at a time when global LNG demand is forecast to surge over the next 15 years.
-
With the right infrastructure and interoperability, subsea resident robotics could unlock more frequent, cost-effective inspections—and a new standard for offshore efficiency.
-
Emerging solutions could solve current subsea pain points, while a new taxonomy system could clarify the capabilities of the expanding domain of underwater vehicles.
-
Rystad Energy reports that developers are increasingly turning to floating LNG to reduce costs and accelerate project timelines in response to growing gas demand.
-
Almost all rigs, platforms, and vessels have some form of cellular mobile services, fiber, or even microwave transmission. Nevertheless, all these vessels and assets are equipped with satellite connectivity capabilities.
-
The Begonia and CLOV Phase 3 subsea tiebacks are each sending production to nearby FPSOs.
-
The China National Offshore Oil Corporation said it plans to use water injection, steam huff ’n’ puff, and steamflooding to produce the heavy oil field, with peak production expected in 2026.
