The latest phase of the Sureflex Joint Industry Project, which dates back
almost 30 years, provides data-driven industry guidance relating to unbonded
flexible-pipe population and damage/failure statistics, integrity management, and good practice.
Supermajor reached a final investment decision on a two-well subsea development to be hosted by the Perdido spar platform in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
The new partnership assets include pipelines in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia serving the Marcellus and Utica shales.

Europe’s gas pipeline wars are in a muddle as the US throws its support to the EastMed project to supply Israeli gas to Italy, transiting Greece and Cyprus; while at the same time the US is sanctioning the Russian-German Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which is already 90% complete. -
The project will create a foundation for further development of a thermoplastic composite pipe jumper technology for risers in permanent HP/HT subsea applications.
-
The Norwegian provider of pipeline safety and technical verification services announced its withdrawal after actions taken by US lawmakers this month.
-
A combination of computational-fluid-dynamics and finite-element modeling offers a potentially powerful tool for assessing and diagnosing multiphase-flow-induced vibration problems in hydrocarbon-production piping systems.
-
The complete paper presents a set of two- and three-phase slug-flow experiments conducted in a 766-m-long, 8-in. pipe at 45-bara pressure.
-
Future offshore oil and gas fields are likely to be satellite developments that emit less greenhouse gas because they do not require new production platforms. A new computational tool is now enabling the design of longer pipelines that will allow many more fields to be developed as satellites.
-
One of North America’s biggest midstream companies is getting a new chief in the new year. He will oversee the construction of a 1,200-mile-long pipeline that has been a decade in the making.
-
Global market conditions have impacted Magnolia LNG’s ability to reach FID. Kinder Morgan’s pipeline project also depends on an FID for the Magnolia LNG project.
-
In the complete paper, the authors seek to understand the effect of triazine on the electrochemical response of a carbon-steel surface in a mixed-gas system.
-
A platform connecting to the Garden Banks pipeline was undamaged by Hurricane Laura, but Enbridge declared force majeure after inspecting the facilities.
