Offshore/subsea systems
SPE Offshore Europe 2027 has unveiled its conference theme, “(Em)Powering Europe: Securing Our Energy Future,” and opened the call for technical paper proposals for the Aberdeen event.
This paper discusses waterflooding and field-development implications of subsea seawater treatment for improved oil recovery.
This paper presents an engineering solution tailored for shallow-water oilfield development in Bohai Bay, addressing the confluence of spatial constraints, marginal economics, and environmental conditions that have rendered such reserves stranded.

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.
-
The field, which holds the first production license on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, sent oil to the Jotun FPSO on 23 June.
-
Less than 3 months after going onstream, the Barents Sea project, the northernmost production offshore Norway, is producing 220,000 B/D.
-
The company has installed an autonomous drone system on Aker BP’s Edvard Grieg platform in the North Sea, enabling frequent, remote inspections from shore.
-
Updates about global exploration and production activities and developments.
-
Once labeled “undrillable,” Brazil’s heavy-oil Atlanta field in the Santos Basin faced technical, financial, and logistical challenges. But through a phased approach, clever reuse of assets, and disciplined project execution, Brava Energia transformed a risky deepwater asset into a producing field with 172 million BOE in 2P reserves.
-
In the wake of the falling number of exploratory wells in the country, Brazil-owned Petrobras addressed audience concerns as well as outlined new avenues for production at the Offshore Technology Conference.

This paper describes the use of coiled tubing in a pilot project for carbon dioxide injection, enabling evaluation of the conversion of an existing oil field for CCS purposes and derisking storage-development uncertainties before having to cease hydrocarbon production.
-
This paper describes the first riserless coiled tubing services operation performed in a live subsea well and the associated improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and safety.
