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.

To reduce the risks to arctic pipelines from natural or geologic hazards, a more sophisticated approach to routing compared to traditional methods based on only the shortest length of pipe or connectivity to existing infrastructure is needed. -
As the design methodologies evolve for arctic pipelines, strudel scour, permafrost thaw settlement, and ice gouging need to be factored in with environmental and geotechnical data, limit states, and trenching and backfilling activities.

The future of many offshore developments hangs on extending the lives of mooring lines and risers.

Brazing technology allows metallurgical joining of dissimilar materials by use of a filler material.
-
This work is a study of collapse pressure of perforated pipes to evaluate the effect of lateral perforations on the radial resistance of pipes under external pressure.
-
We have seen in recent years many technological advancements in tubular-manufacturing technology. Tubulars also have become part of the data-transmission network and slowly will converge with the data-handling and data-transmission systems.

Sea lines transporting gas in the Persian Gulf exhibit different thermal regimes in different regions. This study summarizes hydrate-inhibition practices for these sea lines, and indicates a possibility of using them as indirect thermometers to provide important physical oceanographic data.

This paper discusses the planning and deployment of an expandable-liner-hanger (ELH) system in an offshore high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) well for the first time in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

As the offshore market downturn and bankruptcy take their toll among vessel contractors, industry consolidation and bargain vessel acquisitions take shape.
-
As compressor stations are added to the natural gas gathering and transmission networks, the potential noise issues are coming under increasing public scrutiny at the same time as regulations are being rolled back.
