Carbon Dumping

how you can know all of this (the fossil fuel industry has known this for decades) and still show up to work every day.“Perhaps if you sat down and wrote a letter to your kids you might feel differently?”Back in Australia, the Guardian reports a Woodside spokesperson as saying the Browse gas project aligns with “key policy statements of both the Western Australian and Australian governments which recognize the pivotal role of natural gas in Australia to 2050 and beyond.”Australia is not alone in that. In December, Norway awarded two CO2 storage permits in the North Sea, and early

Woodside Accused of Greenwashing Over CCS Plans

CCS is a failed experiment and has not been proven to work at the scale required to tackle the climate crisis anywhere in the world.”The Guardian reports a Woodside spokesperson as saying the Browse gas project aligned with “key policy statements of both the Western Australian and Australian governments which recognise the pivotal role of natural gas in Australia to 2050 and beyond.&rdquo

US Firm to Supply Subsea Equipment for West Africa Oil and Gas Project

Houston-based subsea equipment and services specialist Koil Energy has secured a contract to supply electrical and hydraulic distribution manifolds for a project in West Africa with an undisclosed oil and gas company.The manifolds will play a critical role in distributing electrical and hydraulic power to regulate the flow of oil and gas through existing subsea infrastructure.The scope of work for this project includes engineering, procurement, fabrication, assembly, and testing of the manifolds and related equipment.The project will be carried out at Koil's facility in Texas, with final delivery

J+S Subsea Delivers Control Systems for Canadian Oil and Gas Project

Subsea controls specialist J+S Subsea has completed its first project in Canada, which involved the supply of three subsea battery-powered control systems to maintain integrity of the subsea electrical infrastructure at an offshore oil and gas field.J+S Subsea systems will maintain integrity of the subsea electrical infrastructure when topside electrical power is unavailable, the company said.The project has been delivered through a collaborative approach involving Viper Innovations, Verlume, Richmond Mills Fabrication and MH Engineering (Fife), as well as J+S Subsea.The scope included the design

project assets for development of both Domino and Pelican South fields.ABL’s scope of work includes the T&I of the shallow water platform, subsea installation at both fields including a 160 km subsea pipeline from the said platform to the shore.The Neptun Deep project is the largest natural gas project in the Romanian Black Sea. Production is expected to start in 2027, contributing to the region’s energy security.The shallow water platform will be fabricated at yards in Italy and Indonesia. ABL’s project management will be centralized in London, whilst much of the operational and

Pioneering Spirit Completes Infield Pipelay Work at BP’s LNG Scheme

Allseas’ construction vessel Pioneering Spirit has completed the infield pipelay scope for BP’s ultra-deepwater Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) liquified natural gas project offshore Mauritania and Senegal.Two months after arriving in the field, production crew welded, scanned and field joint coated the final piece of pipe for the second 16-inch export gas line.Safely landed in a 2-metre target box at 2400-meter water depth, the pipeline will be recovered in J-mode configuration to install the termination assembly.To make this happen, the vessel aft has been fitted with a bespoke J-mode frame

Mounting Evidence Shows Seismic Surveys Can Harm Marine Life

Woodside Energy last week announced it would start seismic testing for its Scarborough gas project off Australia’s west coast, before reversing the decision in the face of a legal challenge from Traditional Owners.Seismic testing is highly controversial in marine environments. Australia’s federal regulator (the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority) is currently examining a proposal for seismic testing in the Otway Basin in Bass Strait, which conservationists say has attracted more than 30,000 public submissions.Seismic testing is also mooted as part of
