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.

Offshore drillers have been battered by the plunge in oil prices with falling day rates and a growing number of older rigs headed for demolition. -
The roles of wellbore tubulars in delivering continued well integrity are diverse, critical, and congruent throughout the life of the well.
-
This paper describes efficient detection of well-control events, in both underbalanced and overbalanced conditions.
-
This paper details the technical and economic challenges in west Africa that have led to the design of drillpipe-riser-intervention-system (DPRIS) solutions.
-
This paper reviews the current methodology for assessing pipeline embedment against field data, in which underprediction of pipeline embedment could be critical to design integrity.

When energy and healthcare collaborate, innovation is born. Pumps and Pipes, an unprecedented cross-industry collaboration between oil and gas exploration and production (E&P), cardiovascular medicine, aerospace, and academia, has grown into an international forum for transferable ideas and technolo
-
A simple, practical, and reliable method to detect a gas leak under the conditions of unknown inlet or outlet gas rate, or unknown inlet or outlet pressure, is highly desirable. This paper discusses such a method.

Created by the Institute for Energy Technology in Norway in 1979, Olga was the oil and gas industry’s first transient multiphase flow model. A source of national pride, the program has been declared one of the country’s most important innovations in recent decades.
-
In the realm of enabling technologies, multiphase flow modeling has proven to be one of the most important to the oil and gas industry. Without it, nearly all subsea wells would be too costly or dangerous to develop.
