EnerMech has secured a contract from ExxonMobil to deliver a full flowline decommissioning package at the Hoover-Diana development in the Gulf of Mexico. The project marks EnerMech’s first major decommissioning campaign in the region, involving subsea flushing, pigging, and nitrogen operations to safely retire deepwater infrastructure.
Offshore pipeline risers face extreme fatigue challenges, especially at girth welds. Resonance testing is proving to be a powerful method to verify weld durability and improve the reliability of offshore pipeline systems.
Petrobras is expanding its subsea pipeline integrity program with new inspection tools and strategies for both piggable and unpiggable lines. The initiative focuses on advanced crack detection, hybrid PIGs, and external screening technologies to enhance safety and extend pipeline life.
Since the beginning of 2025, with the advent of a second Trump administration, think tanks and energy consultants alike have been busy contemplating what a return to a “drill, baby drill” philosophy will mean to the U.S. and global energy space.
In this Q&A, offshore construction expert Richard Taylor shares technical insights into the condition of the Nord Stream 2 pipelines and discusses potential repurposing options — from hydrogen transport to LNG imports — as viable alternatives to decommissioning.
The volume of pipeline activity in the North Sea region — covering Denmark, the Netherlands, the southern part of Norway, northwestern regions of Germany and some parts of Sweden, Belgium and France — is accelerating this year, being mainly driven by the ever-growing energy demand, particularly with hydrogen.
An influential forum of oil and gas operators with a vested interest in subsea operations is tackling the challenges of aging offshore infrastructure through cross-industry collaboration.
In this exclusive Pipeline & Gas Journal article, Enbridge unveils plans for two new offshore pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico to support bp's Kaskida project, showcasing the region's ongoing oil and gas infrastructure expansion.
(P&GJ) — North Sea Midstream Partners (NSMP) confirmed the start-up of a new onshore electric-drive compressor at its Teesside Gas Processing Plant (TGPP).
Strohm, the world’s first and leading thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) company, has overseen the successful installation of its TCP Jumper technology at the Deepwater Sabah project offshore Malaysia.
By combining polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a high-performance polymer, with carbon fiber, the company can offer jumpers and flowlines for use in harsh environment carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications.
TotalEnergies and Oceaneering International, Inc., have completed a pipeline inspection industrial pilot, using the Freedom Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and demonstrating its capabilities for sustainable commercial pipeline inspection missions.
Examine the growing application of large and maxi horizontal directional drills (HDDs) beyond traditional oil and gas projects, highlighting insights from industry experts on the evolving use of HDDs in sectors like carbon capture, renewable energy, and water infrastructure.
For the most part, the equipment meant to keep pipelines up and running remains up and running itself. When something goes wrong, a routine repair is often all it takes to set things right.
Circular economy is a sustainable business model that aims to ensure use of resources, extraction of maximum value from the equipment during operation and the recovery and regeneration of products and materials at the end of each’s service life.
