The Use of Wellhead or Multiphase Desanding Cyclone Technology for Effective Proppant RemovalAug 16, 2010 Wellhead or multiphase desanding is an effective technology for removal of solids from a multiphase stream as high upstream in the process as possible. As well as limiting solids carry-over to downstream equipment, a wellhead desanding cyclone can also provide erosion protection for high pressure equipment such as choke valves and flowline manifolds.

Why Do We Need a New Insulation Coating? A Novel Thermal Insulation Coating for Deepwater Subsea PipelinesAug 16, 2010 For many years the materials used for thermal insulation coatings on offshore pipelines have been dominated by materials such as polypropylene and polyurethane. These materials have given reliable insulation systems that have been deployed in deep waters, up to around 2,200 metres, and with a coating thickness of up to 100 millimetres. [ In 7/8 2010 ]
Media: Battle of the SmartphonesAug 16, 2010 As soon as Apple launched the iPhone in January 2007, all the other mobile phone makers started yelling at their product developers to make touchscreen phones. Up to that point, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung, HTC, and the other handset producers had been working on different alternatives to the prevailing Java phones, with Symbian and Windows Mobile as the established alternatives for professional phones, with multitasking, embedded applications, and comparatively big screens.

Commentary, 5/6 2010Jun 7, 2010 Catastrophic Loss
A little over a half a year ago, Transocean Ltd. announced that its ultra-deepwater semisubmersible rig Deepwater Horizon had drilled the deepest oil and gas well to date while working for British Petroleum and its co-owners on the Tiber well in the US Gulf of Mexico. Working with BP, the Transocean crews on the Deepwater Horizon drilled the well to a 35,050-foot vertical depth (measured depth of 35,055 feet) – more than 10 kilometres, while operating at a little over 1,250 metres of water.

From the Editor, 5/6 2010Jun 7, 2010 Safety Foremost
The blowout and spill in the US Gulf of Mexico moves safety up to centre stage. Of course, HSE already shares an equal position with the highest levels of project management, but disasters such as the GoM blowout and catastrophic explosion on the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling platform serve to bring safety issues into sharp focus.
