Carbon Dumping
storage.”2024 was the hottest year on record, and similar climate concerns are being voiced around the world. This week, Alice Harrison, Head of Fossil Fuels Campaigning at Global Witness, directed her LinkedIn post about the DearTomorrow project to the CEOs of Exxon, Shell, BP, TotalEnergies and Chevron. “I’ve just drafted a letter to my daughters. They’re three and five now – I want them to open this letter in 2050, when they’ll be 28 and 30…“Fossil fuels are cooking the planet and super-charging extreme weather and the sorts of droughts that are making
Sulmara Nets $19M Investment for Low-Carbon Offshore Wind Services
to use these advanced systems both alongside and with traditional survey vessels supports improved high-quality data turnaround time while significantly reducing the environmental impact of offshore projects.Sulmara is already delivering services to major customers around the world including Orsted, Chevron and Seaway7 using remote and innovative systems, and BGF’s investment will enable further complex and low carbon data collection in environments that pose a huge challenge to conventional methodologies.As part of BGF’s investment, Richard Pugh and Davis Larssen will join the board as
Subsea Digitalization: Remote Control
The more production infrastructure we push to the seabed, the more data we need to pull back up. With it comes opportunity.Chevron’s landmark 6,500 tons of subsea gas compression infrastructure for Jansz-Io demonstrates the scale of what is being put on the seabed, but there’s a diversity of other infrastructure under development that will operate alongside traditional production systems.This includes subsea fluid storage technology from NOV Subsea Production Systems, and TechnipFMC and Sulzer Flow Equipment’s subsea CO2 pumps for new high pressure separation technology
![“Our province has been shaped by the Atlantic Ocean. It can be extremely cold, extremely unforgiving. If it works here, it will work anywhere. The technology we [develop and] use here can be adapted to anywhere else in the world. We are adaptive, we're nimble, we're problem solvers. And at the end of the day, we are collaborative."

NL Government Helps Power Regional Maritime, Offshore Energy, Subsea Tech Cluster
a great job of promoting the school and what they teach to these kids. Paul's an educator, he's an administrator, he's a data specialist. He's got too many things on his resume to name, but he's absolutely a leader in this province, and a great person to boot.Dr. Lesley James, the Chevron Chair of Petroleum Engineering, is doing a lot of work with us right now on carbon capture and offshore basins, and at the same time recognizing that we have to reduce the emissions offshore. When you look at emission reduction, we are far ahead of most other oil producing nations, but that doesn'
Oceaneering Tests AUV on Pipeline Inspection Pilot for TotalEnergies
, of an estimated 50% compared to existing methods with equivalent quality of the inspection and opportunity to exceed data quality provision through continuous improvement.Freedom, a hybrid AUV/ROV system, is the result of a long-term collaborative relationship between Oceaneering, TotalEnergies, and Chevron dating back to 2014, with Equinor joining the collaboration in 2019.The North Sea pilot for TotalEnergies resulted in an inspection of over 120km of sub-marine pipelines, to add to 60km of near-shore pipelines inspected during an earlier demonstration for TotalEnergies. Freedom demonstrated its
OPT’s Wave-Powered Tech Nears 15MWh of Renewable Energy Production
in the Atlantic, Pacific, Mediterranean, and North Sea.These deployments came from a mix of renewable energy investments from government backed development programs and commercial leases and sales, for customers including Eni, EGP, Office of Naval Research and the DeepStar consortium inclusive of Chevron, CNOOC, Equinor, ExxonMobil, JX Nippon, Occidental, PetroBras, Shell, and Woodside.According to OPT, it has demonstrated and delivered use cases as a proven solution for anti-submarine warfare, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, unmanned surface vehicle charging (USV), and environmental
Sulmara on Offshore Survey Job at Bayou Bend CCS Scheme in Texas
Subsea specialist Sulmara has delivered offshore geophysical survey for Bayou Bend carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in the United States, being developed by joint venture owned by Chevron, Talos Energy and Equinor.Bayou Bend CCS joint venture commissioned Sulmara to conduct an archaeological and geohazard assessment of the proposed Bayou Bend pipeline route from the landfall to the future offshore platform locations, which has the potential to reduce emissions from regional industrial facilities by safely storing carbon dioxide underground.Sulmara utilised an electric WAM-V 16 USV for the
TechnipFMC Gets ‘Significant’ Contract from BP in Gulf of Mexico
Since 2008 Starts ProductionArgos is the centerpiece of BP’s Mad Dog Phase 2 project, which extends the life of the super-giant oil field discovered in 1998.BP is the operator with 60.5% working interest, with co-owners Woodside Energy (23.9%) and Union Oil Company of California, an affiliate of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (15.6%).
UH Aims to Develop Subsea Pipeline Inspection Autonomous Robot
(BSEE).The BSEE is funding the project with a $960,493 grant to UH researchers Zheng Chen, Bill D. Cook Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Gangbing Song, John and Rebecca Moores Professor of Mechanical Engineering, who are working in collaboration with Oceaneering International and Chevron.“By automating the inspection process with this state-of-the art robotic technology, we can dramatically reduce the cost and risk of these important subsea inspections which will lead to safer operations of offshore oil and gas pipelines as less intervention from human divers will be needed
