Under the increased pressure of rapidly changing market conditions and disrupting technologies, continuous improvements in efficiency become indispensable for all oil and gas operators. Traditional project management principles in the oil and gas industry employ rigid methods of planning and execution that can sometimes hinder adaptability and a quick response to change. Considering the potential that Agile principles can offer as a solution, the challenge, therefore, is to identify the ideal, hybrid, approach that leverages Agile while incorporating the traditional linear workflow necessitated by the oil and gas industry. This paper seeks to assess pre-existing literature in the application of the Agile principles in the oil and gas industry with a focus on Major Capital Projects (MCPs), backed by the successes experienced as a result of specific pilot projects completed at Chevron’s Australian Business Unit. In particular, this paper will focus on how agility has resulted in improvements to the cost, schedule, teaming and cohesion of MCPs in the early phases as well as key learnings form the pilot agility projects.

Prospects for the further development of the oil and gas industry are mainly associated with the development and commissioning of high-rate fields. In this regard, the production of more economical and durable equipment by machine-building enterprises, an increase in the level of its reliability and competitiveness, as well as further improvement of technological production processes, is of paramount importance. The evolution of technology in a broad sense is a representation of changes in designs, manufacturing technology, their direction and patterns. In this case, a certain state of any class of TC is considered as a result of long-term changes in its previous state; transition from existing and applied in practice vehicles to new models that differ from previous designs. These transitions, as a rule, are associated with the improvement of any performance criteria or quality indicators of the vehicle and are progressive in nature. The work is devoted to the study of the evolution of the quality of high-pressure valves during the period of their intensive development. Keywords: technical system, evolution of technology, high-pressure valves, shut-off devices, gate.

Feature - The cost of the "big crew change" to the oil and gas industry could be huge—the equivalent of 20% of total industry E&P expenditures, or more than U.S. $35 billion per year. J. Ford Brett, President of PetroSkills, explains the financial downside of demographic changes.

The article considers a teacher as a subject of monitoring the professional readiness of future workers in the oil and gas industry, who has pedagogical subjectivity in its implementation. This quality of personality is characterized in the context of the teacher's monitoring competence. The structure of pedagogical subjectivity is determined by the features of professional readiness of workers in the oil and gas industry and its monitoring. It involves the relationship of theoretical, technological, and personal components. The article presents the results of a ascertaining experiment that established insufficient formation of structural components of pedagogical subjectivity in monitoring. The expediency of correcting the identified problem aspects and related professional development of teachers to monitor the professional readiness of future workers in the oil and gas industry is justified. It is assumed that the problem of their formation is characterized by industry specifics and is implemented by means of additional professional education.

Tough market conditions have seen the price of oil drop which with the subsequent uncertainty surrounding the industry have seen the oil and gas industry concentrate on reducing the cost of designing, installing and operating pipelines. A critical process for the industry is the procurement, manufacture and installation of appropriate linepipe. The method of installation is often dictated by the pipe size and the water depth that the pipe is to be laid in, however there are times when the choice of lay method is due to vessel availability and relative costs for each technique. In early 2014, Tata Steel successfully manufactured and delivered 16"OD × 0.875”WT X65 submerged arc welded longitudinal (SAWL) linepipe for installation via the reel lay method. Notable features about this fact were the size, which represents the thickest 16” external diameter UOE pipe yet delivered by Tata Steel, and that this was to be the first UOE pipe to be installed by the reel lay method in the North Sea. The ability to manufacture small diameter thickwall linepipe was only possible due to recent operational developments including an established tooling programme and a fully validated Finite Element (FE) model of the UOE process, along with years of experience of integrating these tools into the manufacturing process. This paper discusses the manufacturing challenges for small diameter thickwall linepipe, and how with the aid of modelling tools, innovative thinking and previous experience in supplying small diameter thickwall linepipe into two reel-installed projects, the pipe was manufactured and delivered with the properties shown to be compliant with DNV OS-F101 Supplementary Requirement P.

Abstract The article deals with the problem of connecting pipelines in the oil and gas industry. One of the connection methods is resistance welding. Often, the use of this approach shows muted efficiency as it depends on the qualifications of the welder. A technique for creating flange (plane) connections with a pipe in the oil and gas industry is considered. The necessary equipment and types of welds within the considered area are considered. Thus, it is necessary to conduct a literature-patent review to find an alternative method for creating welded joints in oil and gas pipelines in order to increase the reliability of such joints and reduce the cost of production. The analysis of the subject area and the search for possible solutions to the problem posed were carried out. Various welding methods (manual electric arc, automatic submerged-arc welding, induction brazing, etc.) are considered and a comparison of the main welding methods is given, as well as the rationale for the use of electron beam welding to create such pipe joints.

Abstract The article is devoted to the use of electron beam welding for connecting pipelines in the oil and gas industry. The analysis of the proposed approach and equipment for creating permanent pipe-flange connections is carried out. The advantages and disadvantages of the proposed approach are considered. During the work, the welded seam was calculated. A set of interchangeable attachments for the turntable has also been developed. Thus, the purpose of this work is to improve the quality of welded joints of oil and gas equipment through the use of electron-beam welding technology and design of replaceable nozzles for a turntable for an electron-beam welding unit.

: In the oil and gas Industry, insulation materials can be used widely for piping system, tank and vessel in either low or high temperature applications. CUI can cause equipment degradation, fluid leak, which lead to explosion or environmental pollution and the cost will very expensive. Therefore, CUI need to be detected early to prevent damage. Through experiment, Center for Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) studied on establishing and appliying 4 NDT procedures for CUI examination on typical petroleum piping using in Vietnam. A discussion is presented below
