Offshore/subsea systems
The Begonia and CLOV Phase 3 subsea tiebacks are each sending production to nearby FPSOs.
Shell became the first international company to operate producing fields offshore Brazil and the first to navigate the country’s complex and detailed decommissioning permitting process, which involved extensive environmental assessments, regulatory approvals, and coordinated stakeholder engagement.
North Sea tieback to the Troll C platform could begin production by the end of 2029.

To support subsea processing of heavy crudes, an inline electrocoalescer was tested for separation of water droplets dispersed in the crude oil. -
The need for standardization of subsea equipment has never been greater. With the drop in oil prices, cost reduction has become critical.
-
In this paper, an analysis of the selection of integrated template structures (ITSs) for Arctic environments is presented.
-
This paper describes the architecture of the Lucius Gulf of Mexico subsea production system and the drivers behind it.
-
This paper addresses the standardized features applied to the 10,000-psi-rated subsea-system components at the Espirito Santos FPSO in the Campos basin offshore Brazil.
-
Projects are being delayed or deferred due to low oil prices, which is affecting the market for subsea, umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (SURF).
-
This paper posits a design method for subsea equipment governed by American Petroleum Institute (API) Specification (spec.) 17 (and particularly 17D).
-
To provide a best practice approach aimed aimed at reducing delivery time and production costs and improving material quality, a joint industry project led by DNV GL resulted in a recommended practice for steel forgings in subsea applications.
-
Created by the Institute for Energy Technology in Norway in 1979, Olga was the oil and gas industry’s first transient multiphase flow model. A source of national pride, the program has been declared one of the country’s most important innovations in recent decades.
-
In the realm of enabling technologies, multiphase flow modeling has proven to be one of the most important to the oil and gas industry. Without it, nearly all subsea wells would be too costly or dangerous to develop.
