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.

With the right internal modifications, traditional degassers can be enhanced with gas flotation for improved oily water separation. This article outlines key design considerations—including inlet and settling zones, skimming, and solids handling. Two case studies highlight lessons learned in troubleshooting and revamping degasser designs. -
Work by researchers at the University of Saskatchewan aims to advance the understanding of clathrate hydrates, crystal cages of ice that can trap gas and liquids.
-
Electricity produced onshore powers oil production at Johan Sverdrup holding CO₂ emissions at only 5% of the global average.
-
Texas lawmakers passed a suite of bills that officials said are crucial to combat losses in the state’s largest oil field.
-
The language of the well is conveyed through various parameters, including hook load, weight on bit, rotational speed, torque, pressure, and cuttings returns. The journey to understand this language has driven advancements in standardization, automation, technology, and science within planning and operations.

This article presents a results-driven case study from an ongoing collaboration between a midstream oil and gas company and Neuralix Inc.
-
Shell became the first international company to operate producing fields offshore Brazil and the first to navigate the country’s complex and detailed decommissioning permitting process, which involved extensive environmental assessments, regulatory approvals, and coordinated stakeholder engagement.
-
Successful in other applications, self-healing coatings could be the oil industry’s ticket to fighting corrosion and extending the life of steel.
-
This paper aims to describe the role of liquefied natural gas as a transitional energy source for automobile transportation in Nigeria.
