As one of the UK’s major employers, the oil and gas industry is massively important to the economy. However, with dwindling reserves, changing attitudes to energy production, and the most challenging economic environment in decades, the sector is under pressure. Employment levels in the UK have dropped from over 450,000 in 2014 to less than […]
Designing and manufacturing a flow computer system has lots of overlap with the design of other IT systems. The focus of any design is bespoke decision making for the needs of the business. Here we explore the significant decisions needed to create the most effective flow computer system for you. What is a flow computer […]
As companies and national leaders look for ways to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050, hydrogen is considered a viable alternative. Hydrogen can be produced using natural gas and carbon capture technology. Alternatively, renewable energy sources can produce electricity that powers water electrolysers. Both blue and green hydrogen could be considered to be better for […]
The oil and gas industry, to stay relevant, is looking at ways to be part of the energy transition. The demand for a carbon-zero future was always going to prove a challenge for those companies relying on fossil fuel extraction, production, and delivery. However, the significant oil and gas players are also vital innovators, and […]
The silver bullet of the energy sector is a fuel that offers zero emissions and reduces our impact on the environment. As the Royal Institute lectures noted in 2020, before humanity, the carbon in the atmosphere was 280 parts per million. Today, this stands at 415 parts per million, resulting in a temperature change of […]
Flow measurement is essential to many industries. The monitoring of the rate of flow of air, gas, and water provides exact information to specialists who manage the efficiency and effectiveness of processes. It also helps in the detection of significant issues within a more extensive system. Liquid flow measurement can also provide data on the […]
With climate change and the consequences of evolving weather patterns becoming a significant concern, the targets for the reduction of carbon emissions grow tighter. The challenge for the oil and gas sector is to seek a path to decarbonisation and remain a relevant force in the energy industry and beyond. The use of green hydrogen […]
Any exploration of upstream merger and acquisition trends and considerations has to start by stating the obvious, 2020 has been a turbulent time. It is not just in oil and gas that uncertainty has reigned, but in all aspects of the economy and society. Therefore, anything said in an analysis of 2020 and predictions for […]
While the natural assumption would be that oil and gas leaders would be opposing the energy transition, the reality is different. Although the global energy transition is a threat to the demand, social and financial future of the sector, they have a vital part to play in continuing international energy supply. The challenge The challenge […]
The state of the environment was brought into sharp relief with the COVID-19 pandemic. While you would have thought the world would be distracted by the virus, most were astonished by the improvement in the environment. The air cleared, wildlife emerged, and there was a sudden realisation that humans are the cause of the climate […]
