A great paper highlighting the teamwork and project lifecycle of linear pipelines, from two of my teammates Chris Siok, PE and Greg Smith II: Pipelines are among the most complex linear projects. Collaborative teams composed of land agents and engineers can greatly enhance the likelihood of project success. https://hubs.li/Q01XXRnC0 #Pipelines #OilandGas

Re-defining the future of Drilling is Precision Drilling EverGreen Solution. The goal of future drilling campaigns is to reduce carbon emissions, while reducing cost of drilling (Diesel cost). This hybrid solution, combines increased Natural gas subsitution rates for the rig bi-fuel generators, automatic gen management systems and re-chargeable batteries 🔋, as well as possibilities of tying to grid systems. It will help the rig conserve energy and reduce cost of Drilling. With this Solution, it is no longer a requirement to run 2 or multiple gens at peak load (mostly Drilling sections of well operations) due to fear of blackouts or to manage load sharing. The EverGreen batteries kick in to reduce gen counts. The automatic gen management systems helps management load sharing requirements between gen and battery. Running at a single gen at optimum load increases the natural gas substitution rate, thereby reducing diesel consumption. To learn more about this solution book a date with Hugo Salinas @ the IADC Drilling Onshore conference and exhibition in Huston, Texas May 16th. This is a game changer. #PrecisionDrilling #HighValueHighPerformance

I would like to build from my last post, on how H2 can be effectively distributed to end-users. The article rightly points out that green H2 comes from water and renewable power; while it highlights the constraints of not always being able to install renewable sources close to the H2 production facility, it overlooks the other feedstock problem... Green H2 must have an abundance of water at hand, and this is not a simple task either. I believe this latter issue to be generally overlooked... #greenhydrogen #netzero #energytransition #watermanagement

In Louisiana, home to more miles of pipeline per capita than anywhere else in the nation, a legal fight is rattling the pipeline industry just as it is desperate to build to meet the needs of increasing demand from elecrification and AI. The legal battle is hobbling construction of pipeline projects. But it’s not coming from environmentalists. It’s spearheaded by one of the biggest natural gas pipeline operators in the US.

We've witnessed the significant repercussions of soaring energy costs recently. As the oil and gas industry faces mounting demands to bolster energy security while also promoting safety and sustainability, the question arises: How can we guarantee the streamlined implementation of new energy infrastructure? InEight’s Chief Product Officer, Bradley Barth details how today’s integrated solutions are a “must-have” for oil and gas projects to be delivered on time and within budget in his article from World Pipelines here, https://lnkd.in/g_6VwuzV. #ProjectCertainty #DigitalTransformation #CapitalProjects #ConnectedConstruction #Construction #ConstructionIndustry #ConstructionManagement #ConstructionProjects #ConstructionSoftware #ConstructionTechnology #ConTech #Energy #Infrastructure #IntegratedTechnology #ProjectManagement #OilAndGas
