Expected to be commissioned in 2027, the new pipeline will double the UAE's current capacity of 1.8 million B/D of crude that can be transported beyond the contested waterway.
Caturus Energy’s platform integrates upstream assets from the Haynesville and East Texas basins with downstream liquefaction and export terminal facilities on Louisiana’s Gulf Coast.
While often associated with smaller discoveries, subsea tiebacks are playing a growing role in contributing to the broader energy mix.

Espirito Santo: Design and Operational Experience of the Use of Steel Risers on a Turret-Moored FPSOThe floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) facility Espirito Santo, located offshore Brazil in the Parque das Conchas (BC-10) field, is the world’s first turret-moored FPSO facility to use steel risers for fluid transfer. -
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

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.

The presence of slug flow in the riser of the sunken Deepwater Horizon could make a significant difference in financial penalties for BP in the wake of the Macondo incident, an expert said.
-
Steel catenary risers (SCRs) on a large-heave-motion vessel are susceptible to compression in the riser touchdown zone (TDZ). In this paper, a finite-element-analysis modeling method is presented to simulate deformation, pipe ovality, and local pipe buckling.
-
This paper gives an overview of ongoing research activities on the subject of offshore use of composite flowlines, risers, and topside piping.
-
Riser slugging can restrict production and cause problems for downstream equipment. This paper discusses a simplified modeling approach to control of riser slugging.
