Operators are increasingly using existing offshore infrastructure for asset life extension, and developing new marginal stranded fields rather than develop new large greenfields. Subsea processing is an enabling technology in this goal. A cybersecurity director outlines the steps needed to adopt a risk-based cybersecurity program. He cautions that in many cases, process control systems’ confidentiality is mistakenly viewed as a lower priority than IT systems’. AUVs aren’t limited to inspections and pipeline surveys.

Repair work on the Gorgon LNG plant’s propane heat exchangers is underway. Planned maintenance on the Gorgon Train 2 was expected to end in July. With contracts canceled and pressures mounting, offshore oil drillers struggle to stay afloat. With contracts canceled and pressures mounting, offshore oil drillers struggle to stay afloat. Potential suitors to acquire Chevron’s stake in the LNG project include co-owner and operator Woodside.

The deal follows BP’s divestment of its global petrochemicals business in late June. With contracts canceled and pressures mounting, offshore oil drillers struggle to stay afloat. With contracts canceled and pressures mounting, offshore oil drillers struggle to stay afloat. The two companies worked together in 2019 to improve execution techniques where Petrofac digitalized maintenance and inspection activity. TechnipFMC will utilize its service base and umbilical factory in Angola for the EPCI contract.

The proposed restructuring plan aims to eliminate about $74 million of the company’s debt. For the upstream industry, where improvement in efficiency or production can drive significant financial results, there is no question that the size of the digital prize is huge. In this study, the authors use a quantitative seismic interpretation work flow (QSI) based on a rock-physics template in estimating the uncertainty of the geochemical properties of organic mudrocks of the Shublik formation of the Alaskan North Slope. In this paper, the authors propose a least-squares Q migration (LSQM) method that combines the benefits of both LSM and Q prestack depth migration (QPSDM) to improve the amplitude fidelity and image resolution of seismic data. This paper demonstrates how maintaining investment in high-quality 3D seismic during the last downturn, together with selective exploration, quality geoscience, application of new technologies, and efficiently maturing discoveries to early cash flow, was successful in sustaining future production.

A new open innovation studio aims to use crowdsourcing to redefine the future of oil and gas exploration. In tectonically influenced regions, potential hydrocarbon traps are subject to complex states of stress. This paper presents a coupled 3D fluid-flow and geomechanics simulator developed to model induced seismicity resulting from wastewater injection. Knowing which horizon crude oil flows from and in what proportions has been a major challenge for shale producers. Increasingly, they are turning to new technology to find the answer.

The 18-month contract is for work in the Al-Nasiriyah oil field in southern Iraq’s Dhi Qar province. Five key steps for shaping renewable energy projects are discussed. Delays and disruptions have stymied project plans in the past few months. How will companies prevent current stresses from morphing into catastrophic issues? The Italian oil company has redesigned its dedicated portal for suppliers.

Knowing which horizon crude oil flows from and in what proportions has been a major challenge for shale producers. Seismic imaging provides vital tools for the exploration of potential hydrocarbon reserves and subsequent production-planning activities. The acquisition of high-resolution, regularly sampled seismic data may be hindered by physical or financial constraints.

Happily, in this past year, we witnessed several examples of marriage between two themes—exciting technology advances and the recent economic downturn.
