In this interview, Purohit explains why ultrasonic technology is rising as a dominant solution for gas-flow applications and how engineering teams can approach measurement as a tool not just for accountability but also for operational excellence.
Microgrids are no longer niche innovations—they have become a foundational component of modern energy infrastructure. Realizing their full potential will require targeted policy reform, clearer regulatory frameworks, and greater access to innovative financing models.
Tiger Skid, a custom-built cyber-physical training and testing platform, simulates real-world energy systems and industrial processes vulnerable to cyber-physical attacks.

Before many of the new chemical and nanoparticle technologies for wellbore strengthening arrived to the marketplace, casing while drilling (CWD) was used for more than a decade to mechanically achieve the same end. -
In response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident that claimed the lives of 11 men and led to the worst oil spill in United States history, the offshore industry devised new technologies and methods that would allow for a quicker response in the US Gulf of Mexico.

Making hole has become a more difficult and complex operation as operators move into untapped horizons, especially deepwater and unconventional fields.
-
In April, downhole chemical technology provider Flotek Industries acquired water-based, drilling fluid-additive technology from ARC Drilling Fluids.
-
Upstream separation processes remain a hot topic for facilities engineers. Striving to design separators with the optimal sizing for a variety of reservoir conditions, increasing water cuts, and dynamic gas/oil/water production characteristics is critical, but challenging.

The authors tell you how hydraulic submersible pumps work and how they're different froom other types of artificial lift.
-
How to understand the complexities of unconventional reservoirs.
-
Downhole fiber-optic systems work by using a small laser that fires off a pulse of light through hair-thin cables made of silica glass.
-
The offshore industry has taken another step toward opening up new deepwater frontiers to exploration with Maersk Drilling ordering the first 20,000-psi blowout preventer (BOP) made by GE Oil and Gas.
-
Many problems that result in BOP downtime could be prevented if only drilling contractors knew which parts of the subsea system to replace and when. BOP monitoring systems have been developed to increase reliability by enabling preventive maintenance.
