Offshore/subsea systems
This paper explores the application of a modular, high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor to a Very Large Crude Carrier-class floating production, storage, and offloading vessel.
This paper describes the potential of combined-cycle technology (use of a gas turbine and a steam turbine together to turn fuel into electricity) in offshore carbon-capture applications.
This paper uses the structural-integrity-management framework to evaluate the current structural integrity of chosen platforms, highlighting their potential and limitations for carbon capture, use, and storage purposes based on in-service assessments.

This paper describes an effort to increase value creation in Troll Phase 3 by reducing the pressure drop along the value chain from the reservoir through the wells, subsea systems, pipeline, and tieback. -
The Pickerel-1 well encountered 90 ft of high-quality oil-bearing Miocene reservoir and will be tied back to the Tubular Bells production facilities.

By initially ring-fencing Absheron’s gas for the domestic market, Azerbaijan will be able to export more of its overall gas production to Europe from across other projects.
-
The component is part of a full subsea deepwater completion/intervention system being designed by Expro for use on the Chevron tieback.
-
The project aims to power subsea equipment with wave power and subsea energy storage. The two technologies have been deployed in the seas off Orkney, Scotland, and have begun a test program where they will provide low-carbon power and communication to infrastructure.

Recent developments from Equinor and Murphy Oil Corp. offer hope that the industry is zeroing in the right approach to building megaprojects.
-
The drilling of the Berling field will begin in the third quarter of 2026, with gas and condensate production expected in 2028.
-
The contractor will see the delivery of its first subsea production systems to Azule Energy.
