Strohm Secures Over $21M Investment to Expand CCUS and Hydrogen Market Presence
Strohm has secured $21.4 million ($20 million) investment from SENCO Hydrogen Capital, aimed at boosting its growth trajectory focused on hydrogen and carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) applications.The partnership between the two companies also seeks to reduce carbon footprint in the pipeline infrastructure for conventional energies, in order to achieve more sustainable energy supply solutions overall.The investment from SENCO, a private equity firm specializing in investments in the hydrogen and energy-in-transition spaces, made shortly after the first closing of its Hydrogen Equity Fund,
Pioneering Spirit Completes Infield Pipelay Work at BP’s LNG Scheme
J-mode frame with a 1000-tonne load capacity, which was designed, built and installed on board in only eight weeks by Allseas’ engineering and fabrication teams.The pipelay scope comprises approximately 75 km of 16-inch export lines and 10 km of 10-inch CRA infield lines, some of the pipeline infrastructure exceeding 2700 meters water depth at the deep end.The main firing line and double jointing facilities on Pioneering Spirit have run in parallel throughout the campaign. Pioneering Spirit will conclude the offshore works by installing the six outstanding flowline termination assemblies.
Danos Wraps Coastal Restoration Work for Shell in Louisiana
manager operations, Shell Pipeline Company. “We value Danos and Natrx’s support in bringing innovative, nature-based projects to life which serve both objectives, enabling important sustainability benefits, including wetland conservation and oyster creation, while protecting our pipeline infrastructure.”In partnership with Natrx, Danos managed the project on behalf of Shell, including designing the technical drawings and installation plans. Danos’ construction team then completed the infrastructure fabrication and aided in installation on-site, in the marshes of Terrebonne
Claire Ridge Topside Modules Safely Installed West of Shetland
, all of which have recently been recruited through Amec Foster Wheeler. Clair Ridge is a multi-billion investment in the second phase of development on the Clair field which lies 75km to the west of the Shetland Islands. The project comprises two new bridge-linked platforms and new pipeline infrastructure to connect storage and redelivery facilities on Shetland. The next major milestone will be the installation of the production and drilling (DP) platform topside modules, scheduled for summer 2016, with production expected to commence in late 2017.

ABS to Develop Design Criteria for Subsea Pipelines
for global buckling and stability analyses supplemental to the ABS Guide for Building and Classing Subsea Pipeline Systems and applicable industry and site condition standards. As a significant number of deepwater and ultra deepwater subsea fields come online within the next decade, offshore pipeline infrastructure will need to be expanded safely to transport additional production volumes to shore. One potential hazard to designing subsea pipelines is buckling, which can compromise structural integrity due to loss of in-place stability and potential development of excessive bending. ABS will analyze
BP Selects AGSL Software for Clair Ridge Project
process control software that it will use throughout the Clair Ridge project, and to operate assets associated with the Clair Ridge field development when it is fully operational. Located west of the Shetland Islands in Scotland, the project will feature two bridge-linked platforms and new pipeline infrastructure to connect to processing facilities on Shetland. The development is the first sanctioned large-scale offshore enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scheme to use reduced salinity water injection (LoSal EOR) to extract a higher proportion of oil over the life of the field. AGSL provides the
CATS Pipeline & Infrastructure Sold for $954m
BG Group agreed to the sale of its equity interest in the Central Area Transmission System (CATS) gas pipeline in the UK North Sea and associated infrastructure to Antin Infrastructure Partners for total proceeds up to $954 million. Under the agreement, BG Group will sell its 62.78% interest in CATS for a consideration comprising $888 million on completion of the transaction and a deferred amount of $66 million.

Seaflex Aids Underwater FPSO Mooring Retrieval
for Lundin Tunisia BV in approximately 300m of water. Lundin Tunisia BV is a 40% stakeholder in and operator of the Oudna field 80km offshore Tunisia. Abandoned by Shell in the mid-80s when relatively small discoveries in relatively deep water were still considered unviable due to lack of pipeline infrastructure, with the advent of the FPSO came a new way to make such fields viable. Oudna was accordingly de-mothballed a decade or so ago, and serviced until recently by the FPSO Ikdam. At end of the field’s viable lifecycle, the problem arose of how best to decommission the FPSO - and
New Support Vessel and GM for Harkand
, “Asia Pacific is a major area of economic and population growth and building our business in the area is a key part of our growth strategy as we move forward. The region is one of the major offshore producing regions and offers promising market opportunities as the extensive platform and pipeline infrastructure will continue to require a growing volume of IRM activities” Formed in February 2013 through the merger of Iremis, Integrated Subsea Services (ISS) and Andrews Survey following investment by Oaktree Capital Management, it employs 750 people at bases in Singapore and Perth in Asia
