Hydrogen is rapidly moving beyond pilot projects to become a core pillar of oil & gas decarbonization strategies. Rather than disrupting the existing workforce, hydrogen development is re-deploying decades of oil & gas expertise—from process engineering and subsurface analysis to project execution and digital optimization—into a lower-carbon energy future. As
Asset Integrity 2.0 addresses one of the most serious challenges facing oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and process facilities worldwide. Many plants and pipelines are operating well beyond their original design life under harsher conditions and stricter regulatory expectations. Failures from corrosion, fatigue, erosion, or mechanical degradation can quickly escalate
Heat exchangers are among the most critical pieces of equipment in refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, and chemical processing units. They operate continuously under high temperature and pressure conditions, making them vulnerable to performance degradation over time. Among all operational challenges, fouling remains the most persistent and costly issue. It
The oil & gas sector is in a period of fast, sometimes turbulent change. In 2025, companies face a unique mix of pressures — from decarbonization targets and geopolitical shifts to rapid digitalization and shifting labor markets. These forces aren’t just changing strategy and capital allocation; they’re transforming the people
The oil and gas industry has always been driven by technological innovation, but the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming operations at an unprecedented pace—particularly in upstream exploration and production (E&P). From automating data analysis to optimizing drilling operations, AI is enabling energy companies to make smarter, faster,
Introduction: The Silent Threat in Pipelines Internal corrosion is one of the leading threats to pipeline safety, reliability, and operating costs. It is responsible for up to 30% of pipeline failures in oil and gas operations, leading to unplanned downtime, environmental incidents, and regulatory scrutiny. When liquids, water, CO₂, H₂S,
In the oil and gas industry, rotating equipment forms the mechanical backbone of operations. From upstream drilling rigs to downstream refineries, machines such as pumps, compressors, turbines, and motors keep facilities running efficiently. Any failure in these critical assets can disrupt production, trigger safety incidents, and cause costly downtime. As
A fired heater, also called a process heater or refinery furnace, is an industrial system designed to heat process fluids to precise operating temperatures. It burns fuels such as natural gas, refinery gas, or fuel oil, transferring heat through coils or tubes via radiant and convective heat transfer. Primary Function:
1. Introduction In industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and manufacturing, ensuring asset reliability and operational safety is a constant priority. Traditional time-based inspection schedules often lead to unnecessary downtime, unplanned outages, or missed failure indicators. Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) offers a smarter alternative — a data-driven,
Introduction The oil and gas industry operates in some of the most thermally demanding and process-intensive environments in the world. In such settings, heat exchangers in oil and gas operations play a vital role in controlling and optimizing heat transfer processes across upstream drilling rigs, midstream transportation, and downstream refining
