The awards build on Tenaris’ role in earlier phases of the ultradeepwater Black Sea project.
Engineering, procurement, construction, and installation awards made at the end of 2025 are expanding Saipem’s role in Turkey’s two largest offshore gas fields, plus Saudi Arabia’s Berri, Abu Safah, and Marjan oil fields and Qatar’s North Field gas giant in the Persian Gulf.
The Gorgon Phase 3 project aims to counter declining reservoir pressure to sustain gas supplies to Western Australia’s domestic market and support LNG exports to Asia.

Banyu Urip crude contains 26% wax, which can lead to flow-assurance challenges in a crude pipeline exposed to lower temperatures. Injection of pour-point-depressant (PPD) chemicals has been considered an effective method to ensure flow of moderate waxy crude. -
This paper presents a case study that is an example of how reassessing a flow-assurance risk-management strategy for operating assets can identify opportunities for optimization.
-
The deal covers the installation of a pair of rigid flowlines for the shallow heavy oil field, Pemex’s largest discovery to date. Work is expected to be completed early next year.

Pipeline bottlenecks have created a wide gap in the price of gas at a key pipeline hub in the Permian compared to the US benchmark level.
-
These balls have the potential to alter how pipeline inspections are done, and a consortium of pipeline operators and industry experts in North Dakota is examining just how well this emerging technology can handle the small-diameter pipelines in the area.
-
Since 9/11, no new rules or regulations have been promulgated to address pipeline or liquified natural gas facility security. Although the Transportation Security Administration recently released an updated version of its "Pipeline Security Guidelines," those guidelines remain advisory.
-
The federal agency now charged with overseeing cybersecurity for US pipelines is ill equipped to do the job, say two top regulators who want the role given to the Energy Department.
-
The offshore gas pipeline will connect the gas markets of Finland and Estonia, enabling integration with the European Union’s common energy market

This paper presents work performed to characterize the probability of collapse as a function of reservoir-abandonment pressure using reliability-based design (RBD).

A probabilistic approach was introduced to improve interpretation of data from electromagnetic corrosion logs. This paper presents a statistical risk-based approach to predicting casing leaks using electromagnetic corrosion logs.
