This study recommends favoring the combustion of ammonia over hydrogen for the purpose of reducing CO₂ and nitrogen emissions.

Iraq’s Gas Growth Integrated Project aims to increase electricity generation by capturing flare gas collected from three southern oil fields. A desalination project will use treated seawater to maintain well pressures.

Louisiana-based project will use operator’s Optimized Cascade process to turn feed gas into LNG.

This paper reviews lean construction management processes adopted in the Apani Field development, from facility design to construction management and drilling-location preparation.

In this final installment of the Savvy Separator Series (No. 23), the authors present a curated collection of recommended references, articles, and other key resources—a comprehensive guide worth reading, bookmarking, and keeping in your library.

Short on skilled welders? For complex jobs like pressure-vessel seams, automation could be the key to keeping production safe, accurate, and on schedule.

As LNG projects sanctioned earlier this decade come onstream, a shortage of new final and pre-final investment decisions threatens to leave the project pipelines dry at a time when global LNG demand is forecast to surge over the next 15 years.

With the right internal modifications, traditional degassers can be enhanced with gas flotation for improved oily water separation. This article outlines key design considerations—including inlet and settling zones, skimming, and solids handling. Two case studies highlight lessons learned in troubleshooting and revamping degasser designs.

The authors of this paper describe a project to develop a virtual sensor to monitor the cooling effect downstream of a subsea choke to avoid hydrate plugs during cold-start operations.

This paper describes the operator’s digital-twin end-to-end production system deployed for model-based surveillance and optimization.
