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.

Completion comes despite two cyclones disrupting the project area during installation, McDermott said. -
Exponential thinking is called the “exponential surprise factor.” These underpinnings are observed on the tubular mechanics side also through data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cognitive processes.
