Williams' acquisition of Momentum Midstream creates a larger, more connected Gulf Coast gas network capable of meeting surging demand from LNG export facilities, power generators, and industrial users.
This paper details the design and implementation of a subsea multiphase pump solution deployed in the Atlanta field designed to maximize reuse of existing subsea and topside equipment.
This paper presents a study that confirms glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined tubing as a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term water-injection service in moderate-salinity offshore environments.

Thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) is a spoolable, fully bonded pipe with glass or carbon-fiber reinforcements. While most often used in deep water, the combination of a solid wall, spoolability, and corrosion resistance makes TCP attractive for production-flowlines in shallow water also. -
Subsea processing is an evolving technology in ultradeepwater development and has the potential to unlock a significant amount of hydrocarbon resources. In this paper, the authors have reviewed the application of subsea systems in 12 deepwater fields and discussed the significance of each.

At the 2016 Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Technical Symposium in New Orleans, a presentation discussed the application of sensors and analytics in pipeline integrity management systems.
-
The Dakota Access Pipeline, which will connect the Bakken and Three Forks production areas, has received the regulatory go-ahead from the US Army Corps of Engineers.
-
This paper evaluates the feasibility of a number of production- and export-riser configurations for ultradeepwater applications.
-
This paper presents a multirate-test method to detect locations and sizes of blockages in gas pipelines.
-
An experimental study was conducted by use of a 6-in.-inner-diameter facility to analyze three-phase stratified wavy flow in horizontal pipelines.
-
Deepwater production has become more reliant on the integrity of subsea, umbilical, riser, and flowline (SURF) systems. A JIP explored cost-effective inspection and maintenance options.
-
This paper presents the challenges and obstacles faced in the use of a new technology for the plugging and deoiling of sections of unpiggable flowlines before decommissioning.
-
Bypass pigging has advantages over conventional approaches. Its application to multi-phase flow with high wax content crude is discussed.
