Production
The legacy of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a persistent problem in many industries, including upstream oil and gas. In this Q&A, remediation expert Grant Scott presents the trouble with these “forever chemicals” and the mitigating efforts being used.
As the pace of new discoveries slows and high-quality prospects become harder to find, oil companies may need to rely more heavily on mature fields to maintain production and support future supply.
With confidence in subsea boosting performance growing, BP is incorporating pumping systems into both greenfield developments and brownfield expansions.
