Offshore/subsea systems
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.
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO₂ capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO₂ concentrations.
This work introduces a novel predictive methodology combining historical metocean data with real-time riser analysis for shallow water dynamically positioned rig operations.

The $5.1 billion ultradeepwater project is Angola’s first integrated cross-block development and sits at the top of Azule’s Southern African portfolio.
-
Equinor and its partners’ investment in the Troll West Increased Gas Recovery North (TWIN) project aims to unlock around 11 Bcm of additional natural gas from the Troll field, with first production targeted as early as 2028.
-
In the fourth development phase, a planned tieback would connect resources from two North Sea discoveries to existing infrastructure at the Johan Sverdrup field, pending project sanction.
-
Production delivered by the subsea artificial lift system will equal that obtained by drilling two new wells, according to BP.

This paper describes the successful deployment of flexible coiled tubing technology in an oil-producing well of the offshore Frade field in Brazil’s Campos Basin.
-
This paper describes the use of encapsulated polymer technology to address the issues of shear degradation and injectivity integrity faced in the application of polymer flooding in an offshore development context.
-
New technical papers suggest advanced robotic systems may not be far away from broad adoption for a large share of offshore inspection and intervention.
