In the first issue we travel around the world to find the most promising oil and gas discoveries of recent months. We also take a look at the growing market for liquefied natural gas and take a look at the biggest LNG projects underway, as well as the world’s most advanced mega ships, platforms and terminals that will help operators meet a surge in demand for the natural resource.
As oil and gas operations move further out to sea, creating new demand for stronger pipelines, we also take a look at a groundbreaking pipeline concept that could offer a new solution to operations in ultra-deep waters. And, whilst down in the deep, we also find out how hydrocarbons exploration is changing requirements for offshore safety.
In this issue
Extreme Pressure
The demand for thicker, more expensive pipelines is set to rocket as oil and gas fields are developed further out to sea. Sarah Blackman speaks to DNV’s Asle Venås to find out if the company’s X-Stream pipeline concept could provide a solution to this major problem.

Next issue preview
In a special focus on deep sea production, we profile new tools to open up even the deepest depths of the ocean to exploration and reveal the technology behind some of the world’s deepest offshore oil rigs. We also investigate what the UK Government’s pledge to support the exploration of as-yet undeveloped deepwater reserves in the North Sea could mean for companies operating in the area.
Moreover, we find out how today’s advanced exploration technologies can help operators to gain a better understanding of reservoirs and subsequently improve production rates. We also investigate how a new chemical compound dubbed ‘magnetic soap’ could revolutionise the clean-up of oil spills, and ask diving specialists what it takes to train commercial divers and ROV pilots for the most challenging offshore operations.
