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.
-
Deepwater Yellowtail project, onstream 4 months ahead of schedule, is expected to produce an average of 250,000 BOPD. -
The collection of undeveloped blocks includes 59 located in Nigeria's deep water.
-
Short on skilled welders? For complex jobs like pressure-vessel seams, automation could be the key to keeping production safe, accurate, and on schedule.
-
Azule’s new FPSO is the first in the world to feature a pilot carbon capture and storage unit that sequesters CO₂ from onboard gas-turbine exhaust.
-
By closely monitoring its subsea boosting system, Shell extended maintenance intervals and safely postponed pump replacement at its ultradeepwater Stones field.
-
BP called the Bumerangue discovery in the Santos Basin the company’s largest find in 25 years, and announced it had begun production from its tieback project at Argos ahead of schedule.
-
This study presents the development of a novel modeling tool designed to predict condensate emulsions, focusing on key factors causing emulsions such as pH, solid content, asphaltene concentration, droplet size, and organic acids.
-
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.
-
This study explores enhancing gas production through a novel combination of prestimulation using a coiled tubing unit and high-rate matrix acidizing.
