Offshore/subsea systems
New technical papers suggest advanced robotic systems may not be far away from broad adoption for a large share of offshore inspection and intervention.
This paper describes the successful deployment of flexible coiled tubing technology in an oil-producing well of the offshore Frade field in Brazil’s Campos Basin.
This paper describes the use of encapsulated polymer technology to address the issues of shear degradation and injectivity integrity faced in the application of polymer flooding in an offshore development context.

More than 40 years since its discovery, a hot and stubborn gas reservoir offshore Abu Dhabi has been tamed. -
The plan calls for developing a gas field, CCUS, and onshore compression, with first production expected in 2028.
-
Operator also announces plans to deploy continuous, real-time detection equipment at all its operated upstream sites, including GranMorgu, by the end of 2025.

FPSO to be connected to high-pressure subsea separation technology pilot project.
-
Contactor will provide EPCI work related to the subsea portion of the 20K Gulf of Mexico development.
-
By adding this latest EPCI contract for pipelines and cables to earlier awards, McDermott is now responsible for all offshore infrastructure associated with Qatar's massive North Field Expansion.
-
This work presents the results of several failure analyses of gas lift valves retrieved from subsea wells that were unable to prevent backflow from tubing to annulus
-
The field's massive FPSO is anchored in place and on schedule for first oil prior to year-end.
-
Subsea tieback in the Central North Sea expected to produce 20,000 BOED at peak, boosting output to Alvheim FPSO.

Since the late 1930s, the offshore industry has advanced from the first platform in 14 ft of water to the ultradeepwater 20K era. Driven by seismic, drilling, and development breakthroughs, the industry has pushed into deeper waters, high-pressure reservoirs, and new frontiers like Guyana, continually expanding the limits of offshore exploration.
