The potential of the expanded use of 3D printing in the oil and gas industry is a hot topic at the moment. We explore whether 3D printing is on the brink of assuming a greatly expanded role?
Also, we find out more about IFS World’s latest supply chain software upgrade – Applications 9, investigate why the Belizean Government plans to open up its waters to offshore exploration despite concerns over the potential damage of the country’s barrier reef system and profile the new Hammerhead system and its potential to reach ultra deepwater fracking regions such as the Gulf of Mexico’s Lower Tertiary.
Moreover, we speak to ABB and Statoil about a new power transmission project, find out more about Aberdeen University’s plans to train a new generation of offshore engineers in South Korea, and, finally, we find out why oil production in Nigeria is expected to hit a rocky patch.
