This article addresses the challenges of managing water-soluble organics (WSOs) in offshore produced water. It provides a brief discussion of the chemistry, along with strategies and technologies that can be used to manage WSO levels in produced water, thus facilitating compliance with regulatory overboard water-quality guidelines.
The new technology, recently highlighted at OTC, has received a statement of maturity from ABS.
War‑related infrastructure damage is beginning to influence global energy supply chains in ways that could reshape project development and capacity growth.

Construction for the field’s second processing platform begins on the same day the Norwegian authorities approved the plan for development and operation for the biggest field development on the Norwegian continental shelf. -
More flexible approaches to financing, production, and trading are crucial to meeting world’s needs, new study finds.

Reducing a separation system’s footprint while increasing separation efficiency is demonstrated in an Oklahoma field trial.
-
Process design of separation internals is just one step in improving the vessel performance. Just as important are the support design and installation steps. These lessons learned help to guide good off- and on-site planning to minimize separator turnaround.
-
The specification and selection of equipment is the responsibility of the static equipment engineer, based on requirements specified by other disciplines, including process, materials, and plant layout. These guidelines contain cost-effective recommendations for design, materials, and fabrication.
-
Steady-state modeling of an asset requires the work of multiple engineering teams, which often leads to suboptimal facility design. An integrated model using information consistently across the entire asset may alleviate the pain resulting from conventional methods.
-
A demonstration project of carbon capture, utilization, and storage through enhanced oil recovery was conducted in Saudi Arabia. Surface facilities for such projects are expensive to build and involve tradeoffs in options based on economics for a given set of conditions.
-
Troubleshooting and solving separation problems takes a combination of analytical tools, experience, and a knack for investigation. These 5 lessons provide a starting point for assessment.
