Offshore/subsea systems
Industry forecasts point to increasing upstream expenditure and production, even as geopolitical volatility and smaller discoveries challenge project economics.
How OSRL, InterMoor, and Oceaneering adapted existing technologies into a method for landing a capping stack on a shallow-water well.
The Absheron gas field expansion will supply additional natural gas to Azerbaijan’s domestic market and support its export commitments to Turkey, allowing Baku to stay focused on meeting its gas export obligations to Europe.
