Value driven well integrity solutions also help reduce carbon footprints

Engineering experts are examining existing well integrity operations and pushing boundaries to discover and develop new ways of working. One company is transforming well operations by focusing on inventing innovative and environmentally aware downhole tool solutions.

New offshore wind projects poised to contribute to energy transition

Power generation from offshore wind turbines is projected to increase 700% over the next 10 years. Developing local supply chains in Europe and the U.S. will increase efficiency, reduce costs and help drive a green recovery, post-Covid-19.

Are oil and gas and renewables really worlds apart?

An in-depth analysis takes a step back for a big picture look at the two sides of the energy transition and reveals several interesting synergies.

Biden turns to America’s enemies to solve energy problems of his own making

In the face of rising gasoline prices, U.S. President Joe Biden has instructed his administration to turn to the likes of Saudi Arabia, Iran and Russia to produce more crude while keeping restrictions on American oil and gas in place.

Opinion: Giving Scotland’s green party an inch makes them a ruler

Taking a page from the Neville Chamberlain Handbook for Diplomacy, Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, is lobbying the UK to take actions that will ultimately lead to a disorganized and very costly end to fossil fuel development in the Scottish sector of the North Sea.

Electrifying offshore oil and gas facilities with floating wind turbines

Two senior marine construction executives provide an in-depth analysis of an innovative proposal to use electricity from floating wind turbines to power offshore oil and gas operations to reduce GHG.

Breathing life into brownfields: Innovation to extend asset life

Brownfield expansions have always been an available option, but new technology and a commitment to reducing total expenditure have changed the way that the industry thinks about, and executes, life extension projects.
