Offshore/subsea systems
This paper reviews the motivation and development of response-based forecasting from the perspective of the authors, reviewing examples and processes that have served as validation and led to modeling refinement.
This paper compares traditional welded techniques, such as above-water repair methods and underwater hyperbaric welding, with the novel options offered by subsea connectors purposely developed for corrosion-resistant-alloy-clad pipelines.
This paper introduces a technology for offshore pipeline inspection centered on an autonomous robotic system equipped with underwater computer vision and edge-computing capabilities.

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.
