Onshore/Offshore Facilities
This paper identifies opportunities and risks associated with repurposing an offshore oil and gas platform for green hydrogen production. Various technical scenarios were investigated for the case study platform, and their profitability was determined using economic calculations. In addition, all the submodels were compared with standard decommissioning costs for reco…
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.
This work introduces a novel predictive methodology combining historical metocean data with real-time riser analysis for shallow water dynamically positioned rig operations.

Industrial augmented reality (AR) takes several forms. The holy grail—and eventually prevalent format—is headworn AR, where visualization software is installed on AR glasses such as Microsoft’s HoloLens. Nearer-term deployments also include smartphone- or tablet-based AR. -
Upon completion, the FPSO will be the first permanently fiber rope-moored offshore facility in the Mediterranean, processing the reservoir fluids and export sales gas from the Karish and Tanin gas fields offshore Israel.

Freeport marks the sixth major LNG export facility to start operations in the US. Commercial deliveries are expected to begin in September, with Osaka Gas and JERA taking half of the Train 1’s offtake capacity.
-
The US EIA reports that natural gas deliveries producting LNG for export reached 6.0 Bcf/D in July. Deliveries to LNG export facilities have been the fastest growing among all natural gas consumption sectors this year.
