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 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. -
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 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.
-
The objective of this study is to investigate comprehensively the effects of the expansion process on the pipe mechanical properties and collapse performance and to develop a reliable risk-based collapse-strength design for the expandables.

When two engineers lost their jobs during the industry downturn, they used the misfortune as an opportunity to develop an innovative concept that aims to make it a lot easier to move subsea gas long distances.
-
Risk-based design is very important, especially for complex systems, because a deterministic approach may not provide a strong underpinning to the reliability estimation of the downhole tools. We have to reduce the probability of failure.

In 2016 , several coordinated actions led to trespass and vandalism of pipelines and pipeline facilities, some of which were prosecuted as felony criminal acts. The defendants in several of these cases have raised a "necessity defense" to their actions, and two courts have now allowed that defense.

Subsea 7 completed the acquisition of Siem Offshore Contractors along with a cable-lay vessel and a support vessel.
