This paper presents the operator’s learnings in evaluating the routine of a floating production, storage, and offloading asset crew to identify scenarios for the application of robotics in day-to-day offshore activities.

This paper describes the development of guidelines to determine the most suitable corrosion-resistant alloys for downhole injection equipment in wells for carbon capture and storage and carbon capture, use, and storage.

This paper examines how data-science-driven work practices can result in substantial reductions in methane emissions compared with other leak-detection and -repair methods.

The pitfalls of utilizing an existing vessel without proper review are highlighted.

Contract awards for EPC on shore-based liquification facilities and FEED for upstream offshore infrastructure in Mozambique’s ExxonMobil–Eni project bodes well for an East African LNG hub.

This first of a two-part series provides guidelines for designing and operating advanced produced-water systems on offshore platforms, covering fluid characterization, chemical treatment, equipment, process configuration, operations, and effluent quality.

To choose the right technologies for a gas-compression package, it’s critical for operators to have a clear understanding of their business and greenhouse‑gas emissions-related goals. Operators also need clarity concerning the impact of evolving requirements on total cost of ownership as well as potential financial ramifications.

This paper describes a workflow that has been established to calculate the value of reservoir surveillance in producing gas fields based on established value-of-information methods.

The Savvy Separator series continues as we share case studies of troubleshooting separator problems. This article focuses on instrumentation and operating issues. Brief problem statements, root causes, and lessons learned are given.
