Fire safety is crucial for any offshore installation. In the next issue we explore fire protection technology and find out how personnel is trained to handle emergencies.
We investigate what Brazil’s plant to auction 172 blocks will mean for local companies and international oil majors, and ask subsea specialist ROVOP about the demand for remotely operated vehicles for oil and gas operations. We also find out if plans to cut gas flaring by 30% globally are feasible and what the alternatives to flaring are.
Moreover, we profile a new oil spill detection technology capable of detecting the natural fluorescence of even tiny amounts of oil in or on water, and look at a new approach to invisibility cloaking which could one day be used in offshore operations to shield oil rigs and ships from rough waves.
