Operators in the oil and gas sector are facing some big challenges – many of which are being exacerbated by the current pandemic.
Oil prices are low and production in a surplus. The cyclic nature of the industry means there is an ongoing need for cost saving and efficiency. However, keeping production costs lean must be balanced with the need for safety. This not only... [Read More]

What are the biggest issues driving the need for change in water?
We have been thinking about this topic a lot at Evoqua, and we see three big macrotrends - climate and water risk, health and safety and connectivity. Water and climate risk are at the top of the list.
Water is the primary medium through which we will see the effects of climate change, via less predictable... [Read More]

Multiphase flowmeters (MFMs) have opened the door to the development of marginal assets and have helped to promote more efficient exploitation of larger fields.
As a multiphase meter can eliminate the need for a test separator, which are big and difficult to maintain, smaller platforms are possible.
Existing facilities can also be upgraded to take subsea tie-backs... [Read More]
