New rules requiring Mozambique’s LNG industry to supply 25% of production to the domestic market could stabilize gas deliveries to South Africa’s Secunda industrial center as the Pande and Temane gas fields near depletion.
The Absheron gas field expansion will supply additional natural gas to Azerbaijan’s domestic market and support its export commitments to Turkey, allowing Baku to stay focused on meeting its gas export obligations to Europe.
This work introduces a novel predictive methodology combining historical metocean data with real-time riser analysis for shallow water dynamically positioned rig operations.

How we think about the future of the pipe industry must evolve. How must tubular design and manufacturing change as we transition to clean energy? Geothermal energy is an area that needs attention and, further, needs very specific attention on tubulars.

The authors of this paper find that elongation, reduction in area, and time to failure of Fe17Cr5.5Ni-based alloys were greater than those of Fe13Cr5Ni-based alloys in high-pressure/high-temperature carbon dioxide environments, indicative of better stress corrosion cracking resistance.
