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.
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.
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.
The ambitious project involved the removal of pipelines, control umbilicals and various other subsea structures from the seabed in water depths of up to 590 feet (180 meters), each requiring precise and efficient cutting.
(P&GJ) — Energy consultancy ABL finalized its marine warranty survey scope in connection with the installation of Germany’s OAL subsea pipeline, with the first gas feed-in expected shortly.
(P&GJ) — Increased concerns about energy security and the desire to support net-zero targets through innovative decommissioning projects are driving up demand for subsea clamps and connectors, according to pipeline technology specialist STATS Group.
(P&GJ) — Explore the latest offshore developments, including Exxon's considerations for Guyana gas production post-2029, increased LNG regasification capacity, Venezuela's licensing plans with Trinidad and Shell, New Fortress Energy's onshore complement to an offshore project, and Sulmara's refit for renewable energy contracts.
University of Houston researchers are developing an autonomous robot to identify potential pipeline leaks and structural failures during subsea inspections.
In most cases, inline inspections (ILI) follow a basic principle: what goes into the pipeline at one end must come out at the other. Sometimes, it is not that simple.
