Tapping the Gas Bank in the Barents Sea
province, tied together with solid and highly-developed infrastructure.LNG transportAnother option is to expand capacity in the LNG plant on Melkøya, outside Hammerfest in Finnmark county. Today, the LNG plant is the sole alternative for delivering gas from the Barents Sea From here, current gas exports from the Barents Sea are in the form of liquified gas dispatched to the markets using specialised ships. The challenge is that gas from the Snøhvit field occupies all capacity at the LNG plant for a very long time, all the way to 2040.Without new gas transport capacity, projections indicate
Major Gas Supplier Norway Closely Monitoring Baltic Sea Pipe Burst Probe
Sea, with support from NATO allies, such as German and French frigates and British surveillance planes. The patrols continue. On land, the Home Guard was temporarily deployed to help Norwegian police patrol onshore oil and gas installations. In addition, energy major Equinor surveyed key gas export pipelines,such as the Europipe II link to Germany, on behalf of Gassco.It used specialized vessels equipped with remotely operated underwater vehicles that scanned the pipelines for anything out of the ordinary, like damages, foreign objects or ground disturbances.Equinor found nothing suspicious
Aker BP Taps Multiconsult for Yggdrasil Power from Shore Project Work
between Alvheim and Oseberg in the North Sea. Partners in the area are Equinor and PGNIG Upstream Norway. Gross resources in the area are more than 700 million barrels of oil equivalent. Extensive new infrastructure is planned, including three platforms, nine subsea templates, new pipelines for oil and gas export and power from shore. The entire Yggdrasil area will be remotely operated from an integrated operations center and control room onshore in Stavanger.Under a NOK 400 million contract, Multiconsult will be responsible for carrying out all the required onshore civil engineering tasks for the power-from-sho
Emergency Response Plans: Strohm's TCP Flowlines for Woodside's Scarborough Offshore Gas Field
of the Scarborough field in the Exmouth sub-basin off the coast of Western Australia, will feature up to 13 subsea production wells to be constructed and tied-back to a floating platform moored in water 900 meters deep. Gas from the field will be processed at the expanded Pluto liquefied natural gas export facility near Karratha. In its entirety, the development represents an investment of US$12 billion (A$16.2 billion).The emergency response system, with two TCP Flowlines of 600-meter lengths, will be stored onshore for timely deployment to the field in the event of a drilling-related source control

testing (CPT) with TDI-Brooks’ research vessel, the R/V Gyre. The project included the acquisition of 20-m Jumbo Piston coring, 40 meter CPT-Stinger samples and 40 meter Shelby-tube Stinger samples. Other piston, box core and gravity CPT (gCPT) samples were acquired associated with oil and gas export pipelines.The Shenandoah field development project is located in the Walker Ridge (WR) area in water depths ranging from 5,800 to 6,300 feet. The Shenandoah field will be developed as a subsea tieback from a drill center in WR-51 to a new build Floating Production System (FPS) located in WR-52
Santos Green Lights TechnipFMC for Barossa Subsea Scope
of the Australian energy sector.”Santos last month announced a final investment decision (FID) was taken to proceed with the $3.6 billion Barossa gas and condensate project.The development will comprise a BW Offshore supplied FPSO, subsea production wells, supporting subsea infrastructure and a gas export pipeline tied into the existing Bayu-Undan to Darwin LNG pipeline. First gas production is targeted for the first half of 2025
Subsea Pipeline Could Double Israeli Gas Exports to Egypt
A subsea pipeline that would connect Israel's Leviathan gas field to Egyptian liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals could double Israel's gas export capacity to Egypt, the Israeli energy minister said on Tuesday.Israel started exporting gas to Egypt at the beginning of last year through an existing pipeline that runs offshore before crossing the north of the Sinai Peninsula overland. The gas can be liquefied at Egyptian plants of Idku and Damietta and re-exported to Europe or Asia.Last month the two countries said they had agreed to plan the second pipeline.The governments would promote the

phase.Under the contract awarded to IKM Ocean Design, the company will be responsible for the conceptual design of the Wisting pipelines and umbilical’s routing and overall field layout conceptual engineering. In addition, the contract includes the conceptual design of the 200 km long gas export pipeline from the Wisting field to the Snøhvit D template. IKM Ocean Design did not provide details on the value of the contract. However, it did share a photo of a cake made to celebrate the contract win.Credit: WistingWorth reminding, Equinor last month awarded several contracts for concept
