Increasingly remote energy projects and sustained spikes in the fatality rate have renewed focus on medical support and effective emergency response planning and protocols for oil and gas facilities. A major exacerbating factor is both Australia’s aging oil and gas workforce as well as its aging energy asset infrastructure. Medical…

INPEX raised its 2025 net profit forecast in early August on the back of strong production at its flagship Ichthys LNG project, despite a month-and-a-half-long planned maintenance shutdown of the floating facility starting in August. Two months prior, the Japanese energy company received regulatory approval for a development drilling campaign…

Simulation software and other tools that visualise numerical models are indispensable to the offshore oil and gas sector, enabling operators to simulate complex and potentially hazardous operations and processes, and ensuring safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Accurate and precise simulations of oil and gas processes act s highly sophisticated training systems…

Pilbara Ports Authority has continued its growth surge with another record-breaking export performance, the sixth consecutive year of growth for Australia’s largest bulk commodities hub, comprising the ports of Port Hedland, Dampier, Ashburton, and Varanus Island. Due to its proximity to high-grade resource deposits, deep-water access, and efficient rail connections,…

The way the oil and gas industry manages well construction is evolving rapidly. The smart real-time operations centre (RTOC) approach is transforming well construction by integrating planning, operational stages, and performance analysis into a cohesive digital ecosystem with distributed user access. Innovative technologies like well construction ecosystems are creating a…

As the global energy sector accelerates its shift away from fossil fuels, thousands of offshore oil and gas platforms are nearing the end of their working lives. However, instead of dismantling these towering structures altogether, governments, researchers, and companies are exploring ways to transform them into engines of the clean…

As the federal government implements its Future Gas Strategy and new gas resources come online, Australia’s pipeline industry, led by APA Group, is advancing infrastructure expansions to meet expected east coast demand, while the regulator implements a new transparency and monitoring initiative. APA Group – Australia’s largest natural gas infrastructure…

Cathodic protection is an effective method of corrosion control that is widely used across many industries, but is particularly important for oil and gas operators, who often must deal with steel and concrete infrastructure in extremely corrosion-prone environments. It is estimated that the global cost of corrosion is between 3.5…
