System Built for Mars Operations Used for Offshore Methane Emissions Detection
. It has since been adapted for use across the energy sector and has been validated by the Methane Emissions Technology Evaluation Centre (METEC) in Colorado.Brendan Smith, SeekOps Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder, said: “With political, environmental and social pressures building, oil and gas operators are searching for ways to effectively reduce methane emissions. This forward-thinking solution combines two cutting-edge pieces of technology to provide companies with a modern and effective means of measuring their offshore methane emissions.”The presentation at SPE Offshore Europe
2H Offshore Initiates Second Phase of Wellhead Fatigue JIP
. We plan to further utilise the datasets to address some uncertainties in the analysis. The findings will be used in the near term to increase the accuracy of wave and VIV fatigue assessments and will eventually inform a revision of industry riser design codes.”Currently, seven major oil and gas operators have agreed to join the second phase of the JIP. 2H Offshore has invited other interested industry partners to participate and, in turn, benefit from the field data insights
UK Firm's Decommissioning Tech Cuts Through Congo Offshore Project
; Duplex flowline at each end of the jumper, with the chop saw deployed by ROV with hot stab capability and using a Tungsten Carbon Tip blade with an average cutting time of 1 hour 15 minutes.©Decom Engineering"The Congo project follows other successful workscopes on behalf of major oil and gas operators and contractors, including workscopes in the North Sea, Mauritania, Norway, and Gulf of Thailand," the company said, with bases in Aberdeen and Belfast, said.The C-1 chop saw range is certified for use in water depths of up to 2,000 meters, has multiple buoyancy options, hot stab integration
Subsea Infrastructure Power Looks at Renewables
users.Providing power for brown and greenfield subsea production infrastructure was the initial goal. But before the end of this year (2022), Verlume will be starting demonstrations involving two different wave energy devices, from third parties, working with U.S. defense organizations as well as oil and gas operators and service companies in Scotland and Hawaii. The company is also working with wind energy developers, an underwater robotics technology developer, and more.It’s all about delivering power. Slorach says there are a number of energy sources – including even degraded power umbilicals
Schlumberger Joins Shared Offshore Seismic Data Base 'Versal'
pleased to see Schlumberger join Versal, giving clients streamlined access to four of the industry’s largest multi-client data libraries. Versal now represents the overwhelming majority of the seismic data available on the market today—all within a single user-friendly platform. Now oil and gas operators have even more data at their fingertips to make better-informed decisions during their critical exploration and development operations,” says Dechun Lin, EVP, Earth Data at CGG. “We are very pleased by Schlumberger’s decision to join Versal. They have a significant
Odfjell Oceanwind aims to Help Decarbonize Offshore Drilling with Floating Wind
, which is designed to be equally applicable for permanent wind farms in harsh environments. So in that respect, our business model also includes being a design house and a solutions provider, providing technology for wind farm development.The lease model has proven to be quite attractive for many oil and gas operators [particularly when there is] uncertainty in regards to how long they will be able to keep the oil and gas assets producing.So the whole concept of a multi-location design that can be redeployed proves very attractive, and it’s kind of a circular economy approach, which is new to the

times a day, I think it's really positive that we, in some cases, got to do things we wouldn't have normally done as well.On a personal level, It's given me a little bit of time back to do some more exercise and it's given me some great time with my family and children as well.As oil and gas operators’ needs continue to evolve in response to challenging basins and dynamic market conditions, Baker Hughes has taken a unique life-of-field approach to create its Aptara subsea system – an integrated suite of 50% lighter, modular, optimized, and structured products.Photo courtesy
Maersk Drilling Launches Horizon56 Branch to Digitalize Offshore Drilling
instructions, as well as automated reporting of data and insights to support quicker and deeper analysis of drilling operations."Esben Thorup, the Managing Director of Horizon56 who previously led the development of RigFlow within Maersk Drilling: "From our dialogues with global oil and gas operators we see that the timing for the RigFlow offering fits well with market trends, and we expect global demand to build over the years to come. We’re thrilled to be part of driving industry digitalization forward, and our product roadmap includes additional exciting solutions that will increase
DOF, OFG Team Up to Offer AUV Services to Offshore Industry
has a proven track record of performing AUV pipeline inspections around the globe and the introduction of iCP into the AUV market removes the final barrier for fully autonomous inspections. We have already worked together to successfully deploy the iCP systems on AUV and ROV projects for major oil and gas operators across three continents and we are excited to continue our work with DOF Subsea to build on this offering.”In addition to the iCP technology, the two firms said that the shared resources will provide the alliance with a full suite of specialized sensors such as a CathX laser and photogrammet
