Offshore/subsea systems
The awards build on Tenaris’ role in earlier phases of the ultradeepwater Black Sea project.
An earlier deal to double Israel’s gas exports to Egypt led to approval of Leviathan’s Phase 1B expansion by guaranteeing long-term cash flow to finance the project.
Marking a major milestone as the Gulf of Mexico’s second 20,000-psi deepwater development, the project underscores how advanced high-pressure technology, management of flow challenges, and the floating production system’s role as a regional hub are helping open the door to more Inboard Wilcox development.
-
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.
-
The need for standardization of subsea equipment has never been greater. With the drop in oil prices, cost reduction has become critical.
-
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.
-
Subsea power demand is growing to support various processing loads, including pumps and compressors. This paper presents a modular direct-current electrical-power system that is designed for use in a subsea field with medium or long step-out distance

After severe damage in a typhoon, the Huizhou oil field in the South China Sea was back on production in 5.5 months. This paper reviews how this feat was accomplished.
