the rise in energy transition. The Global oil refining pumps market: Regional analysis biggest challenge for oil companies Global oil refining pumps market: Oil production and growth ratio make changes in their business model and integrating low-carbon assets in their portfolios. With the growing trend of renewable energy sources, oil exporting countries with good reserves-to-production ration are facing the risk of loss in export revenues and monetising their large reserve base. Penetration of renewables has increased in Europe to meet the energy demand, resulting in reduced oil demand. Moreover, regulation by national governments and the EU is likely to further reduce refined oil demand in the region. Oil refineries in Europe are unable to find buyers, resulting in constant drop in profit margins. Inability to find buyers and drop in profit margins is forcing oil refinery operators to shut down the plants. More refinery plants shutdown expected in the coming years in Europe is likely to impact the oil refining pumps market in the region. Moreover, key oil companies across various regions are also planning to invest more in low-carbon energy sources with aim to reduce carbon footprints. The oil refining pumps market is expected to reach 2.9% CAGR during 2018-2028. The findings are from a research study on the Oil Refining Pumps Market by Fact.MR. https://www.factmr.com/ report/2434/oil-refining-pumps- market
Eight industry trends drive Gastech 2019 programme Gastech, the world’s largest exhibition and conference for the global gas, LNG and energy industries, has announced eight key industry trends driving its conference programme for the next event, to be held from 17-19 September 2019 in Houston. Attracting more than 35,000 attendees, industry is teetering on the threshold of an including 3,500 conference delegates, the exciting new era. No single energy source Gastech conference is an extraordinary can meet this rising level of consumption and gathering of the most influential and the ‘dash for gas’ is set to continue as policy progressive energy leaders from across the makers and end users seek cleaner energy full value chain of the global gas industry. solutions to satisfy demand. Given that energy consumption is set to Those interested in speaking need to apply expand by at least 25% by 2040, the gas before 8 February. EIGHT KEY INDUSTRY TRENDS AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE CONFERENCE PROGRAMME 1. The new geopolitics of energy: The vast and fast paced changes in the energy sector mean organisations across the value chain are having to navigate challenges arising at the nexus of energy and geopolitics such as the 2020 IMO Emissions Cap and the North American Shale Revolution. 2. Security of demand: If the industry of old used to only compete for access to resources, the sector of the future will have to compete for access to customers. What are the new business models for a new energy landscape? 3. Downstream evolving: With gas playing an ever-more strategic role as a fuel for industrial processes, it’s certain to become a new era of technical partnerships and joint ventures. CO2 recycling, the future energy supplier landscape and meeting the growing demand of ethane are some of the topics to be discussed in Houston. 4. The emerging role of the trading houses: The recent rise in flexible supplies means more trading opportunities, as uncontracted cargoes need a home. In 2017, the number of LNG spot cargoes sold reached 1,100 for the first time. Contracts, trading and pricing will all be put under the spotlight at Gastech 2019.
Over 400 speakers are expected to join energy transition.” Said Jenny Kelly, Gastech the final programme, comprising a unique Conference Director. mix of ministers and policy makers, C-level All stakeholders – from industry, government executives, research teams, project and science – are being invited to present managers and pioneering innovators and a paper at Gastech 2019.

A place on the Gastech programme represents an unparalleled opportunity for speakers to share their vision, gain international recognition and position themselves at the forefront of the global 5. Future proofing the operating model: Companies need to innovate at scale to create intelligent organisations equipped to compete for future customers. The technical programme will study advances in equipment and technology that can improve predictability, productivity and efficiency at all stages of the upstream value chain. 6. Implementing a workforce and talent model fit for the future: Workforce strategies to recruit, develop and retain the right talent will be analysed to support those employees needing to work in new ways, develop new skills and work with a wider range of technologies. 7. New commercial constructs to promote investment: The development of destination free and gas indexed US LNG exports challenges the traditional features of fixed delivery, oil- indexed supply agreements. Sellers need lasting agreements, but buyers now want shorter, flexible deals. What new business models can help, and what does the future energy supplier landscape look like? 8. Greater industry-wide collaboration: Whilst the industry has been conservative in its approach and pace of adoption of partnership concepts that are widely proven elsewhere, the pivot to the ‘new’ in the industry will provide plenty of opportunities for greater industry-wide collaboration when it comes to local content, HSSE and CSR.

BP plans for significant growth in deepwater Gulf of Mexico BP has approved a major expansion at the Atlantis field in the US Gulf of Mexico and has also identified significant additional oil resources that could create further development opportunities around the production hubs it operates in the region. The $1.3 billion Atlantis Phase 3 development “BP’s Gulf of Mexico business is key to our is the latest example of BP’s strategy of strategy of growing production of advantaged growing advantaged oil production through its high-margin oil.

BP approves Atlantis expansion Atlantis Phase 3 will include the construction of a new subsea production system from eight new wells that will be tied into the current platform, 150 miles south of New Orleans. Scheduled to come onstream in 2020, the project is expected to boost production at the platform by an estimated 38,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day (boe/d) gross at its peak. It will also access the eastern area of the field where the advanced imaging and reservoir characterisation identified additional oil in place. “Atlantis Phase 3 shows how our latest technologies and digital techniques create real value – identifying opportunities, driving efficiencies and enabling the delivery of major projects. Developments like this are building an exciting future for our business in the Gulf,” said Starlee Sykes, BP’s regional president for the Gulf of Mexico and Canada.

An animation of the Mad Dog Phase 2 development Growing production in the Gulf of Mexico Over the last five years, BP’s net production in the Gulf has increased by more than 60%, rising from less than 200,000 boe/d in 2013 to more than 300,000 boe/d today. BP is currently the top oil producer in the region and anticipates production will grow to around 400,000 boe/d through the middle of the next decade. The growth will be supported by recent project startups, including Thunder Horse Northwest and Thunder Horse South expansions and the Thunder Horse Water Injection project, as well as the addition of a second platform (Argos) at the Mad Dog field, which is on budget and on schedule to come online in late 2021.Future potential developments at BP’s offshore fields in the Gulf include Atlantis Phase 4 and 5, further developments at Thunder Horse, Na Kika subsea tiebacks and Mad Dog field extensions.
