With confidence in subsea boosting performance growing, BP is incorporating pumping systems into both greenfield developments and brownfield expansions.

This paper presents an approach for safe, efficient, and cost-effective legacy well reabandonment.

This paper documents the testing, integration, and field deployment of a metal expandable packer used as an openhole toe isolation plug in a deepwater well under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions.

This work introduces a novel predictive methodology combini ang historical metocean data with real-time riser analysis for shallow water dynamically positioned (DP) rig operations, addressing a gap in industry literature. The integrated approach of predictive nonproductive-time (NPT) estimation, real-time monitoring validation, and structured decision protocols for cr…

This paper introduces channel stacking, a novel and efficient methodology designed to significantly improve optical gas imaging-based leak detection.

This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO2 capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO2 concentrations.

The latest edition of ISO 20815 extends the petroleum industry's production assurance and reliability management framework to carbon capture, hydrogen, ammonia, and wind assets.

Shell has demonstrated drone-in-a-box operations from its Mars floating production unit, becoming the first operator in the region to secure FAA approval for self-approved offshore beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights. JPT Senior Technology Editor Jennifer Pallanich visited Shell Technology Center Houston to see the system in action.

Increased capacity from new terminals and expansions drove up exports of liquefied natural gas at the quickest rate since 2016.

While discussions on the commercial terms for gas sales continue, the release of the jackup rig intended to drill production wells calls into question Shell’s plans for first gas in 2027.
