DOT: End of the “gold-plate” technology era
A strategy manager for French-engineering company Technip said the “gold-plating” was coming off technology design in the oil and gas industry. Scott Campbell, strategy manager for the company’s UK business unit, said the market downturn would likely remain for the next year.
DOT: Deepwater to revitalise the North Sea
The chief executive of oil and gas facilitator ITF said techniques used in deepwater could also be beneficial to the oil and gas industry in the North Sea. Dr Patrick O’Brien spoke on the final day of Deep Offshore Technology International 2014 (DOT) about the potential techniques which could be used to find more energy sources in the UKCS.
DOT: Arctic exploration using concrete structures
Development in floating concrete structures - which could be used for exploration in the Arctic Ocean - was presented by Norwegian-based engineering company Kvaerner at Deep Offshore Technology International 2014 (DOT). Kvaerner has been designing the concrete structures which would be adaptable to the region, rather than typical fixed platforms seen elsewhere in the industry.
DOT: EOR potential could be realised in next five years
The potential revenues which come from Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) will be realised by the oil and gas industry within the next five years, according to Industry team leader. Members of the industry gathered for the final day of Deep Offshore Technology International 2014 (2014) to discuss enabling technologies to maximise recovery.
DOT: ‘Industry’s back against the wall’
Closing the skills gap could be a major step forward in solving the challenges in deepwater developments, according to an industry analyst. Richard D’Souza from Granherne/KBR said collaboration is needed between the oil and gas industry, governments and educational institutions to hire the right staff.
DOT: Ceona Amazon to open up remote exploration
A deepwater vessel which will allow exploration n remote parts of the world is on track to be in use by next year. The Ceona Amazon, a hybrid construction and pipelay vessel designed by CEONA Offshore, began construction last year.
DOT: Subsea power grid testing to begin soon
A newly-designed subsea power grid will be ready for testing by next summer, with final preparations for the system currently underway. Siemens has invested in the power solution, which aims to provide energy at a lower cost.
DOT: Shale exploration will force deepwater exploration to rein in costs
The boss of an independent oil and gas company said deep water production of oil and gas could triple by 2040. Jarand Rystad, managing director of Rystad Energy, was speaking at the Deep Offshore Technology International 2014 (DOT) about rising costs in finding energy resources.
DOT: Catcher on track to hit upcoming targets
The Catcher project in the North Sea looks set to reach its production target with up to 60,000 barrels of oil produced per day, according to its development manager.
DOT: Rosebank weathers rising costs and decreasing oil price
The project manager of the Rosebank project said it had faced a number of "challenges” since its discovery in 2004.
DOT: Deepwater production to ‘rise by 70%’
Deepwater production will rise by 70% within the next decade, according to a leading energy analyst.
DOT: EOR ‘lives and dies’ by multi-discipline integration
Companies need to have more confidence in new technologies if offshore projects are going to succeed, claims a leading BP engineer.
DOT: Industry needs to smarten up
Deep Offshore Technology International (DOT) arrived in Aberdeen for the first time in its 30-year history today with a warning the industry needed to smarten up if it was to reap the benefits of future exploration.
