The Japanese company ratcheted up the competitive nature of contracting for a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel and an onshore liquefied natural gas plant for the Abadi project by announcing dual front-end engineering design (FEED) contracts.
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.

The honorees will be recognized later this year at the OTC Distinguished Achievement Awards Luncheon. -
The paper outlines specific issues, mitigation steps, and lessons learned during the development phase of a corrosion-resistant alloy pipeline.

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.
