The oil price crash in the middle of the last decade forced many companies to reassess their business models in an attempt to navigate the best route out of the crisis.
Since its formation a quarter of a century ago, European Management & Marine (EMM Corp) has seen the oil and gas industry go through many changes. This has led to it becoming a company with a real ability to adapt to the ever-changing industry landscape. In celebrating its 25th anniversary, the company takes pride in becoming one of the world’s largest provider of wire rope products, lifting and rigging gear, including marine mooring equipment and associated services.
The sustained challenge of the global coronavirus pandemic has had a transformative impact on the way the energy sector workforce thinks, works and acts.
An entire subsea operation can be brought to a standstill because of its subsea choke valve. This critical piece of the overall system serves multiple functions, including setting flow rate, upstream and downstream pressure control, and protecting well integrity through all phases of operation.
This is the first in a series, by Snowflake, examining the concept of net zero data and how advances in technology can help the world’s largest organisations—especially those which are particularly emissions-intensive like oil and gas—reduce the carbon emissions footprint of their data.
Px Group, a leading infrastructure management company for energy and high hazard industries, has teamed up with OPEX Group to support emissions reduction across all px Group operated sites.
ZynQ 360, a pioneer and global leader in Visual Asset Management, today announced major advances to its world-leading visualisation software and the launch of their new licensing model, which will make the adoption of their solution seamless—dramatically accelerating digital transformation across any industry.
Carolina Torres, former digital transformation lead for BP, and Cognite’s new senior director of energy industry transformation, believes unfettered access to trustworthy, contextualized, and relevant data is the key to effective and sustainable transformation.
With the Scottish Parliament elections imminent, I thought that it would be timely to reflect on AREG’s hopes for the next government in terms of reducing emissions to help meet net zero goals.
Energy Voice caught up with two of the team at research and development (R&D) tax specialist Access2Funding about predictions for the future of the industry, what their working day looks like and breaking the common misconceptions of R&D in the energy sector.
The momentum behind the UK’s renewable energy industry has increased considerably over recent months and, as the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) prepares to take place in Glasgow later this year, global attention on the topic has rarely been greater.
The words “resilience” and “robustness” have been used a lot recently to describe our industry’s response to various challenges. These have included:
We live in a rapidly-evolving world. The energy we need for our day-to-day lives – from switching on the kettle in the morning and powering up a laptop, to driving to the shops or picking up the kids from school – is growing exponentially and our energy system is transforming to meet this demand in a sustainable way.
The offshore wind market in Asia is expected to experience massive expansion over the next five to 10 years, particularly in the more advanced economies of Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, as governments face increasing pressure to focus on climate change and hit their net-zero emissions targets.
When it comes to the treatment of wastewater in the export chain, the links to circular economy are not obvious – but that doesn’t mean they are not there. They are there and right now they are needed more than ever. Environmental rules are tightening and companies are keen to reduce their environmental footprint. At the same time, the need for water remediation is set to grow to support output from ageing assets and as older facilities are decommissioned.
We are just a day away from the Scottish Elections on May 6.
“You could say we’re a small family business in Laurencekirk,” says Ann Johnson of Blaze Manufacturing, “but we’ve always punched above our weight on the global stage.”
We have a responsibility to use engineering talent to stop carbon being released into the atmosphere and to remove what’s already there. The North Sea better do it quickly or it will face the future like a dinosaur observing a fast-approaching space object. Not only are we seeing a rapid decline in appetite for oil and gas projects, but also UN climate predictions suggest we need to reduce the carbon in our atmosphere by a compounded 7.6% annually for the next decade.
We’ve all seen the recent press images of litter strewn public parks and beaches – the result of some unseasonably nice weather and an easing of lockdown restrictions. Unfortunately, we’ve also all seen media reports of those public spaces being closed whilst local council services are being redirected into a mass clean-up.
Digital solutions enable distance visitations and technical discussions for worldwide specialists. During 3rd day of the Petrochemical and Refining Congress: Europe 2021 co-host Neste is making a technical presentation about Porvoo Refinery alongside live NAPCON digital solutions showcases. Together with networking, it finalizes the 3rd day of the Congress.
The importance of effectively and safely managing subsea operations is central to the foundations of Add Energy.
“Although we’ve had some massive successes and a number of projects have been able to get out of the blocks, deployment of offshore wind in Scotland has been slow,” says Adam Morrison, head of Ocean Wind’s (OW) Moray West Offshore Wind Farm.
The UK government has announced that UK carbon emissions are to be cut by 78% by 2035. Achieving this requires businesses of all sizes to make substantial changes in reducing their emissions and offsetting what cannot practicably be reduced.
A global realignment of the energy industry is needed to accelerate the move to renewables and, in some cases, skip a period of economically maximising the recovering factors of the existing global basins to attain net-zero emissions.
Two weeks from today, I’ll have the pleasure of taking part in Decom North Sea’s inaugural Decom Week.
