Pipelines/flowlines/risers
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 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.

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.
-
This paper considers some of the challenges and learnings associated with the application of chemicals for preservation of coated pipe/flowline for a major liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) project in Australia.
