- Abstract:
- As the pursuit of hydrocarbon energy expands to new territories to meet growing global demand, the pressure for oil and gas majors to find new sources of these two coveted commodities will increase. Offshore locations, especially deepwater sites, have yielded prolific deposits, and are poised to be a hive of activities in the oil and gas industry. Operations farther and deeper in offshore sites will bring a variety of issues and challenges that will test the resolve and stretch the resourcefulness of industry players.
