DP integration illustrates larger need The dynamic positioning (DP) system is one of the more critical technology systems on a deepwater drilling unit. Ultra-deepwater semisubmersibles and drillships are primarily dynamically positioned, and they rely on thrusters managed by complex computer systems to keep the rig on location| 2010

PRODUCTION OPERATIONS 3D model sharing benefits Statoil and plant design contractors In the oil and gas industry, there has historically been a clear separation of roles between owner operators and their engineering, procurement and construction contractors (EPCs). But this split is becoming less clear cut, and one company playing a leading part in this process is Statoil.| 2010

New insulation coating helps maintain product flow For over four decades, oil and gas has been extracted from the United Kingdom continental shelf (UKCS) to provide energy. Oil and gas, which was once readily available not far from the coastline, now requires exploration much further from shore, at far greater depths, and at much lower temperatures| 2010
