How to meet Europe’s growing gas import demand
As Europe’s domestic production of natural gas is steadily declining and demand is projected to remain stable, import requirements will rise in the coming decades. There are only two options to meet the increasing demand for gas imports – pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG).Promoted content
The challenges of the petroleum sector
How can the refining sector contribute to the reduction of transport greenhouse gas emissions and the improvement of air quality?
Offshore drilling and environmental protection
In early offshore oil and gas activity, drilling wastes were generally discharged from the platforms directly to the sea. Until several decades ago, the seas and oceans were considered as limitless dumping grounds. Today apart from regulatory control, companies adopt voluntary measures to minimise the industry's impact on environment.Promoted content
