Onshore/Offshore Facilities
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.
Alongside the new subsea awards, Equinor strengthened its position in the 400-million-bbl Bay du Nord development by acquiring BP’s interest in the project.
The events will be co-located 3–5 May 2027 at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas.

Steel catenary risers (SCRs) on a large-heave-motion vessel are susceptible to compression in the riser touchdown zone (TDZ). In this paper, a finite-element-analysis modeling method is presented to simulate deformation, pipe ovality, and local pipe buckling. -
After 10 years, the world’s first cell spar, Anadarko’s Red Hawk, was decommissioned. It remained the only cell spar fabricated and again made history as the deepest floating production unit ever decommissioned in the GOM.

For many projects, asphaltene management plans are a matter of remediation or prevention. In the past decade, models have been developed to predict how asphaltene particles will behave in oil—the conditions under which precipitation and agglomeration occur.
-
Many offshore decommissioning costs are higher than necessary because of decisions made during the initial engineering and construction for an oil or gas field.
-
With a high demand for plug and abandonment (P&A) of subsea wells in the future on the Norwegian continental shelf, industry is challenged to find alternatives and rigless technologies that can make P&A operation more cost-effective and -efficient.
-
Thermal recovery often causes variations in heavy oil viscosity. Yet viscosity is key to recovery, reserves estimation, and ultimately project success. A correlation for predicting viscosity is presented.

The 2014 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) in Amsterdam drew people from all over the world, covered global themes, and focused on the triumphs, challenges, and remaining opportunities for the North Sea.
-
This paper gives an overview of ongoing research activities on the subject of offshore use of composite flowlines, risers, and topside piping.
-
Well plugging and abandoning on a limited budget is a lofty goal that forces the industry to consider new ways and new materials. Cost-effectively dealing with this global problem will require developing tools to carry out the decommissioning without bringing in a drilling rig.
-
Growing world demand for natural gas will drive increases in capital expenditures on LNG through 2019.
