Issue 64 | April 2018

The US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement has concluded a review of offshore safety regulations in response to President Donald Trump’s order to reduce “unnecessary burden on industry”. We ask whether the resulting proposals can uphold safety standards while stripping down safety guidelines. 


We also take a look at the progress of the Zohr natural gas field project, which began production in December 2017, find out how the UK’s TechX technology accelerator aims to support innovation by smaller companies, and speak to Pinnacle Consulting Engineers about the life extension project for the Leman Alpha ICCP gas field. 


Plus, we explore the challenges of repairing critical oil and gas infrastructure and look into the controversial suggestion that decommissioned platforms should be left in the UK North Sea rather than removed completely.
