DeepWater Horizon spill gives rise to OSR vessel surge
The recent DeepWater Horizon incident has brought into sharp focus the requirement for current, up to date contingency planning, the correct mix of anti-pollution equipment and well practised recovery techniques and crews.

Being prepared for mass, coastal and offshore oil spill recovery
During a mayor offshore oil spill, response teams are facing difficult challenges. Going out to the casualty as quickly as possible is vital, however, collecting the oil in order to minimize the environmental impact of the oil coming ashore is not an easy task.

Safe vapor handling during loading of volatile organic compounds
Vapor recovery for the loading of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the maritime loading arena is a growing development, having been a requirement in the US and Norway for many years and is now becoming commonplace throughout Europe and other countries throughout the world. There are particular developments now in the Far East and Middle East.

Increasing efficiency, accuracy, and safety at bulk liquid storage facilities
How advanced sensor technology and open source communications standardis are helping Emerson Process Management’s new Raptor tank gauging systems to integrate seemlesly with control rooms to give scaleable, efficient and safe systems for monitoring liquid bulk materials.

LNG supply in the Baltic Sea region
World energy use is constantly increasing, and countries around the Baltic Sea are no exception. The energy issue is closely linked with major environmental issues such as climate change, acidification and over-fertilization. Today, the world is dependent on oil as an energy source. It contains many harmful components and replacing it would benefit the environment. Oil is rich in carbon, which means high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions when combusted. Natural gas is also a fossil fuel, but is a better source of energy in terms of CO2 emissions and environmental effects. The main natural gas producers includes countries such as Russia; the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Iran, Norway, Algeria, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia.

Doubling capacity per dedicated loading spot at fluid handling jetties
Feed lines have limited capacity, so the loading and unloading sequence is a time consuming process. To cope with this limitation, often more than one loading arm is connected at the same time, in order to double or triple the capacity.
-
Developing an effective crude oil vapor recovery system
The capture and recovery of hydrocarbon vapors to reduce emissions of environmentally hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOC) is a vital concern in modern oil and gas production and transportation.

The changing face of Indonesian LNG and LPG markets
Indonesia has been one of the world’s leading exporters of LNG and LPG for three decades. However, because proven gas reserves are now being drawn down faster than they are being replaced, overseas shipments of both LNG and LPG have peaked in recent years.

Integrated terminal automation technology – the future of storage terminals
The humble storage terminal has long been an essential part of many organizations operating out of ports around the world. However, many view these facilities as a ‘non-strategic’ element of the business, perceived more as a warehouse to store finished product, and not as a potential profit centre. While perhaps not unexpected, this view consequently means many sites have remained bereft of significant capital investment for many years, resulting in an overwhelming number of facilities running on technology and equipment that is, in many cases, long past its best.
