The DeepOcean-lead joint industry project aims to advance commercialization of a new patented technology that heats pipeline systems deployed in deepwater where flow assurance can be a challenge.
BP’s new electric gas compression platform at Shah Deniz, Azerbaijan’s largest natural gas producer, is expected to sustain exports to Europe even as the field enters decline.
Nitzana will enable Israel to double gas exports to Egypt from the giant Leviathan gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The paper outlines specific issues, mitigation steps, and lessons learned during the development phase of a corrosion-resistant alloy pipeline. -
High-strength, sour-service-grade carbon steel has been developed with outer diameter up to 23 in. and wall thickness up to 2.5 in. using a robust manufacturing process.

Massive Russian Baltic Sea gas export line faces scrutiny, sanctions from the West.
-
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.
