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.

Solid-expandable tubular (SET) is widely used to patch casing and has proved to be cost effective. -
The general industry perception is that, when drillstrings or casing strings exceed conventional helical-buckling criteria, they cannot be operated safely in the hole because the risk of failure or lockup is too high.
-
Compared to the US industrial average downtime ranging from 3% to 5%, the oil and gas industry’s estimated downtime ranges from 5% to 10%,indicating that improvement is needed in reliability and maintenance of facilities, equipment, and processes.
-
A new methodology for oil/water horizontal pipe separator (HPS) design and performance prediction is developed. Separator diameter is determined on the basis of oil/water flow-pattern prediction. A batch separator model is adopted and modified to predict the separator length for desired quality.
-
Pipelines play a vital supporting role in the energy supply chain as one of the most efficient modes of hydrocarbon transportation. Unconventional resource development and LNG have set the stage for growth in onshore pipelines.
-
Paradoxical effects can exist when expanding the capacity of natural-gas-transportation networks. This paper derives conditions where it can be expected, how the effect can be masked, and provide analysis to support identification in larger-scale networks.
-
Setting optimal surface separation pressures are crucial for maximizing the surface liquid production from the wellstream feed. Where separator tests are not available, empirical calculations are often used, but with limitations. A method suitable across many conditions is proposed.
-
In 2013, as deepwater projects become increasingly capital intensive, there are economic challenges for exploration and production (E&P) companies and a potential prize for international oilfield service and equipment vendors. Deepwater represents a long-term opportunity.
-
Separations technology-related content has been expanded and made available to SPE members through the efforts of the Separations Technology Technical Section.
-
The Hadrian-5 prospect in the US Gulf of Mexico was drilled in approximately 7,000 ft of water as one of the first Gulf of Mexico wells drilled after a deepwater moratorium was imposed after the Macondo disaster.
