Energy Transition

China’s LNG imports from the U.S. dropped to zero in March, marking a major shift in global energy trade amid rising tariffs and trade tensions. The 70% quarterly drop signals a broader realignment in LNG flows.

Block Energy plc, the production and development company focused on Georgia, has reached a significant milestone in Phase 2 of its CCS project, with the key process-specific subsurface uncertainties, ahead of the pilot test, having been resolved.

bp Plc started liquefied natural gas shipments from the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project off Senegal and Mauritania, bolstering global supplies following a halt to Russian gas transit via Ukraine. The $4.8 billion project is expected to produce about 2.4 million tons of LNG a year.

Woodside has signed LNG sale and purchase agreements with Uniper for the supply of 1.0 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) from Louisiana LNG and up to 1.0 Mtpa from its global portfolio, demonstrating ongoing strong demand for LNG globally.

In accordance with a halt work order issued by the U.S. government, Empire Offshore Wind LLC (Empire) will safely halt the offshore construction in waters of the outer continental shelf for the Empire Wind project.

The National Ocean Industries Association has issued a statement after Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum halted construction activities of the Empire Wind offshore wind project and ordered a review of both existing and pending offshore wind permits.

Venture Global has commenced commercial operations for its inaugural LNG export project, Calcasieu Pass. The project reached this milestone in just 68 months from the final investment decision, making it one of the fastest greenfield LNG projects completed.

Sulzer has launched its Sulzer Energy Optimization Service, an energy efficiency and carbon reduction service that will create a new best practice standard for the operation of centrifugal pumps across their lifecycle for energy intensive industries such as power generation, oil and gas, chemicals and water desalination.

TotalEnergies has signed a Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with NextDecade to buy 1.5 million tons per annum (Mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the future Train 4 liquefaction unit at the Rio Grande LNG facility.

As carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects ramp up worldwide, one of the biggest early-stage challenges remains: identifying viable storage sites with confidence, speed, and clarity. Most current solutions fall short—fragmented data, limited subsurface insight, and uncertainty in economic viability slow down the decision-making process, especially for industrial players who lack in-house geoscience expertise. In this webinar, we’ll explore a new, integrated approach that combines decades of global subsurface data with advanced analytics to deliver reliable, actionable insights for CO₂ storage screening. Tailored especially for depleted gas fields—known for their superior storage efficiency—this workflow fills a critical gap in the market by enabling faster, better-informed decisions on where to store CO₂ and whether it’s worth the investment. Join us as we unpack how this solution reduces time-to-development and brings together geological, geophysical, and economic factors into a single, streamlined view—built for those who need confidence from day one.

Öresundskraft and INEOS will jointly investigate the opportunity to store up to 210,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually from Sweden in Denmark. The captured CO₂ is planned for safe and permanent storage in Greensand storage facility located in the Danish North Sea.

Energy Transfer and MidOcean Energy have entered an agreement to jointly develop the Lake Charles LNG project in Louisiana. Under terms of the agreement, MidOcean would fund 30% of the construction costs and be entitled to receive 30% of the LNG production (approximately 5 MMtpa).

Perenco has completed the UK’s first CO2 injection test for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The test involved the injection of CO2 into a depleted natural gas reservoir in the North Sea, marking a major milestone for Project Poseidon and decarbonization in the UK.

The equity investment into Kimmeridge's SoTex HoldCo marks Mubadala Energy's U.S. market entry and ambitious expansion strategy. Kimmeridge's highly scalable upstream gas and LNG business comprises currently producing upstream gas assets and a pre-FID LNG project.

Sulfur recovery units (SRUs) are critical to process plants to ensure product quality and meet environmental regulations. However, SRUs present challenges with limited performance insights due to unpredictable catalyst degradation and feed composition-dependent optimization. Additionally, varied plant configurations and rapidly evolving technology add to the complexity. Join SGS Sulphur Experts to learn how Aspen HYSYS® process simulation—powered by Sulsim Sulfur Recovery™ technology—enables you to: • Avoid upsets and compliance failure • Maximize sulfur recovery • Prevent catalyst deactivation • Minimize incinerator fuel use A Q&A session will follow the presentation.

Woodside has entered into a binding agreement with Stonepeak for the sale of a 40% interest in Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC. The transaction significantly reduces Woodside’s capex profile and is a step towards readiness for a final investment decision.

Turning flare gas into revenue makes sense. But manually evaluating the many “Gas to Value” (G2V) alternatives is complex and time-consuming. A model that combines rigorous techno-economic analysis with thermodynamic simulation can speed up the search for a site’s optimum G2V solution. With examples from two North American basins. 

TIPRO has published a new report highlighting the continued success of oil and natural gas producers in the U.S., Permian basin and Texas in maintaining low emissions despite record oil and gas production levels. The report is part of TIPRO's "Texans for Natural Gas" campaign.

Specialist drilling waste management company, TWMA*, has secured a three-year contract with TotalEnergies UK for its renowned drilling waste management services, marking the continuation of a long-term relationship between the two companies.

Eiffage, through Smulders (Eiffage Métal’s Belgian subsidiary), has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of HSM Offshore Energy. The combination of the two companies will strengthen their efficiency and their capacity to deliver large offshore projects.

Subsea 7 S.A. today announced the award of a sizeable contract by Equinor as technical service provider (TSP) for the Northern Lights Phase 2 project, offshore Norway. The scope includes engineering, procurement, construction and installation of a five-kilometer CO2 pipeline.
