Repurposing an Offshore Oil and Gas Platform for Green Hydrogen Production: A North Sea Case Study
05 October 2026
This paper identifies opportunities and risks associated with repurposing an offshore oil and gas platform for green hydrogen production. Various technical scenarios were investigated for the case study platform, and their profitability was determined using economic calculations. In addition, all the submodels were compared with standard decommissioning costs for recommendation purposes.

Measure What Matters, When It Matters: A Flow Measurement Perspective Across the Well Life Cycle
17 August 2026
Flow measurement touches almost every phase of oil and gas operations. Yet the industry still struggles to distinguish between what is directly measured, what is inferred, and what is estimated through models, correlations, or assumptions. That distinction matters. A measurement does not need to be perfect to be useful, but it must be fit for purpose.
Are Process Safety Standards and Practices Ready for the Energy Transition?
01 August 2026
The challenge is to ensure that changes to major accident hazards are properly managed, whether the changes occur by adapting conventional industry operations to lower carbon or by introducing innovative technologies.
