Onshore/Offshore Facilities
The long-term outlook analysis says a potential shift toward new construction could push 2026 production 3% above 2025 levels.
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.

In a recent acquisition, H2O Midstream will own and operate Encana’s produced-water gathering system in Howard County, Texas, and will expand it to also serve third parties. -
A new complex at Southwest Research Institute will support fluid dynamics research and the development testing of flow components.
-
The future of many offshore developments hangs on extending the lives of mooring lines and risers.

Will the UK decommissioning yards have the capacity to handle the anticipated workload of 261 platforms? Some of the pressure may be relieved as a result of the continuing production from many fields forecast to be abandoned in the current price environment as Opex costs offshore UK have fallen.
-
As operators rely on longer subsea tiebacks, an upward trend in the number of plugs caused by paraffins and hydrates has been seen. New prevention and remediation methods are discussed to help solve these challenges.
-
The Buchan Alpha ended production on 12 May in the UK North Sea. The semisubmersible moored floating production facility will be decommissioned by Veolia at its Dales Voe site in Lerwick, Shetland.

Brazing technology allows metallurgical joining of dissimilar materials by use of a filler material.
-
This work is a study of collapse pressure of perforated pipes to evaluate the effect of lateral perforations on the radial resistance of pipes under external pressure.
-
By understanding the factors involved in oil droplet coalescence, the Savvy Separator engineer can assess the operational/chemical factors in the treatment system that are affecting droplet growth and make adjustments to enhance coalescence rates.
-
A test method is being developed to screen paraffin chemistries in the presence of brine, closer resembling dynamic field conditions.
