TL;DR: With NOCs' share of remaining global reserves at near 90%, is this reality precipitating "a deeper relationship" between the western E&P fraternity and their hydrocarbon-rich host countries? Darius Snieckus reports as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: US EIA forecasts see oil and gas production meeting well over half of world energy demand through to at least 2025. With NOCs' share of remaining global reserves at near 90%, is this reality precipitating 'a deeper relationship' between the western E&P fraternity and their hydrocarbon-rich host countries? Darius Snieckus reports.

TL;DR: In this article, Infield Systems' Dr Roger Knight and Julian Callanan investigate the competing strategies shaping the region's development and conclude that the recent Gulf of Mexico licensing round was the most prolific ever.
Abstract: In terms of revenue raised, the recent Gulf of Mexico licensing round was the most prolific ever. However, with the delays and complications surrounding some deepwater projects, did the latest bidding round reflect a new development paradigm? Kicking off OE's latest Gulf of Mexico round-up, Infield Systems' Dr Roger Knight and Julian Callanan investigate the competing strategies shaping the region's development.

TL;DR: Pallanich et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that even though salt has shown it can offer certain benefits, drilling to reach a sub-salt prospect still holds some challenges, as Jennifer Pallanich reports.
Abstract: In less than two decades, salt has morphed from foe to friend. Once viewed as difficult to drill, salt has shown it can offer certain benefits. Even so, drilling to reach a sub-salt prospect still holds some challenges, as Jennifer Pallanich reports.

TL;DR: The story of Q-Marine is worth telling as discussed by the authors, and it is primarily a cautionary tale about introducing new technology into the E&P business, more like slow and steady wins the race.
Abstract: The story of Q-Marine is worth telling. It is primarily a cautionary tale about introducing new technology into the E&P business. Overnight success is not the expression that comes to mind, more like slow and steady wins the race. Andrew McBarnet explains.

TL;DR: The past three years has seen a quiet revolution in subsea mooring systems for platforms and buoys, believes First Subsea's Brian Green as mentioned in this paper, against a backcloth of growing demand to reduce the cost and complexity of pile and buoy installation.
Abstract: The past three years has seen a quiet revolution in subsea mooring systems for platforms and buoys, believes First Subsea's Brian Green. Here, against a backcloth of growing demand to reduce the cost and complexity of pile and buoy installation, he discusses how ball and taper technology-based mooring systems are proving their worth in some of the most demanding deepwater environments.
