Construction and installation of subsea structures can be challenging in countries with limited local capacity, and Aquaterra Energy aims to fill a niche with its conductor supported platform (CSP).
With @SPE Offshore Europe taking over the @P&J Live we're offering a 4-week free trial of @Energy Voice so you can sample our world class coverage of what matters in oil & gas, power and the energy transition.
A few weeks ago, I had the good fortune of meeting Steve Rae, one of the 61 survivors of Piper Alpha and, in our conversations, something emerged about an aspect of the UK continental shelf that I’m becoming increasingly concerned about – the threat of overbearing regulation and the problems that it will create sooner or later.
