Woodside Energy tapped Subsea7 to provide subsea installation services for the 7.2 billion Trion development in the deepwater Mexican Gulf. The field is located approximately 30 km south of the USโMexico maritime border and 180 km away from the Mexican coastline, at a water depth of 2600 m. Subsea7 described the contract award as "large," which it defines as having a value between 300 and 500 million. The project, which Woodside and Pemex are developing in partnership, involves a wet tree subsea system connected to an infield floating production unit (FPU). Subsea7 will be responsible for the engineering, construction, and installation of the subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines, as well as the associated subsea architecture.

While the history of oil and gas in the Americas and the Middle East is well established, it faces its own unique challenges. While some areas have a tried and tested background, new areas for development are growing, both seeking to make the most of the latest in technologies to boost efficiencies and push development forward. Marlin Montilla, based in Mexico, and Maissa Souayeh from Oman share their experiences joining the industry and how you can prepare for these exciting regions. This video was first aired as part of the 2022 Virtual Career Pathways Fair.

Starting with a broad look at the offshore oil and gas industry, including its history, current scope, trends, challenges and an overview of regulatory environments, this Topic examines the primary design considerations for offshore production facilities and identifies key drivers and decision factors in offshore project development. It goes on to describe the various types of platforms, surface components and subsea production facilities: their design features, equipment components operating considerations and areas of application. Included are discussions of offshore pipelines, production equipment and operations, and requirements for decommissioning and removal of offshore facilities. The presentation concludes with case studies of deepwater operations in West Africa and the Gulf of Mexico.

Geoscience technology services company CGG has announced the release of a Southeast Asia Carbon Storage Study to support and accelerate the screening process for all players in the region's fast-growing carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) market. This study ranks and prioritizes opportunities at large scale across 58 basins in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, covering a total surface area of over 6 million km2, to help streamline the process for identifying the best basins and plays for potential carbon storage. "The release of this carbon storage screening study comes at a time of accelerated growth in the Southeast Asia CCUS market and will provide operators with accurate and critical subsurface information for rapid insight and decision-making," said Dechun Lin, CGG's executive vice president for Earth Data. "With this strategic addition to our growing portfolio of carbon storage screening studies, CGG is expanding its footprint and experience in all active CCUS hubs around the globe." The Southeast Asia Carbon Storage Study is a new addition to CGG's continually growing GeoVerse Carbon Storage portfolio, which already includes studies for the North Sea and US Gulf of Mexico.

TechnipFMC has been awarded a substantial contract by Shell for the first integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation project to use high-pressure subsea production systems rated up to 20,000 psi (20K) for the Sparta development in the deepwater US Gulf of Mexico. TechnipFMC defines a substantial contract as one valued between 250 million and 500 million. The contractor will manufacture and install subsea production systems, umbilicals, risers, and flowlines for the development in the Garden Banks area of the Gulf of Mexico. The tree systems will be Shell's first to be qualified for 20K applications and are engineered to meet the high-pressure requirements of this greenfield development. Shell previously awarded the construction of the Sparta floating production unit (FPU) to Seatrium.

Faculty Advisors for an SEG Student Chapter are uniquely poised to help students contribute to the field of geophysics and derive the maximum benefit from their SEG student chapter. Faculty Advisors serve as the liaison between SEG and the Student Chapter. Choosing a Faculty Advisor (and/or Co-advisor) who is committed to helping and maintaining a Student Chapter will ensure the continuity of a Student Chapter. The success (or failure) of a Student Chapter is often related to the participation (or lack of) of the Faculty Advisor. Even the most energetic Student Chapter President needs the support and encouragement of a Faculty Advisor.

In an extensional basin, such as the Gulf of Mexico, salt tectonism in its advanced stage can cause the formation of salt diapirs with overhang structures. Consider such a salt structure as sketched in Figure 5.1-23. If velocities in the surrounding sedimentary sequence increase rapidly in depth, downward traveling waves change their direction at some depth and travel upward. When these turning waves, in their upward travel path, encounter a salt overhang, they reflect from the underside of the structure and follow a downgoing path before turning back upward to the surface. The turning-wave reflection then gives rise to a dipping event on the stacked section which conflict with the reflections associated with the surrounding gently dipping strata.

In recent years, operators and service companies have optimized drilling activities and reduced operational costs by accelerating the deployment of digital solutions. Among other applications, predictive data analytics are commonly used to estimate rock properties, reduce operational uncertainty, improve equipment maintenance processes, and optimize scarce human resources on specific tasks. Not surprising, then, is the number of initiatives to maximize the value of data and new machine-learning models to understand complex operations and the different levels of drilling automation around the world. The selection of technical papers for this month highlights some interesting examples implemented in diverse geographies. Sustainability appears today as a key driver for innovation. The complex process of decarbonization of our industry can be accelerated with the potential larger-scale application of emerging solutions with proven tangible impact. For instance, rig and equipment automation are a reality, with the capacity to lower emissions in drilling operations and help obtain improved and more-consistent results. Papers SPE 216249 and IPTC 22975 illustrate examples of actual benefits in different projects. The task of collecting, processing, organizing, and making sense of drilling information from multiple sources with minimum time requirements remains an opportunity for improved decision-making in project management. Paper OTC 32978 describes one case with the use of artificial intelligence for automatic classification of daily drilling reports as an enabler for better planning and accurate risk analysis. Worth emphasizing is the importance of extended reality as a growing and promising alternative with untapped potential in well construction, mainly as a resource for active learning and a collaboration tool among multidisciplinary teams. Paper SPE 212532, included in the additional recommended reading, gives an interesting overview of current applications associated with drilling operations and challenges ahead.
