What’s the difference between an IGT and a GDN? 🔧 Both independent gas transporters (IGTs) and gas distribution network operators (GDNs) are licenced by Ofgem to build, operate, maintain and invest in gas networks.   📍 Unlike GDNs, IGTs own and operate gas networks nationwide and aren’t restricted to a particular geographical area. 💷 IGTs like us are different to GDNs as we’ll pay UIPs, developers and housebuilders to adopt and maintain gas networks on new developments.   🏗️ Whether you’re planning a new housing, commercial or industrial development, we can make your gas connection a simple and seamless experience.   #Construction #Infrastructure #MultiUtilities

SPECIAL EDITORIAL BY SID CROUCH, GTTSi CHIEF TECHNICAL CONSULTANT: OUR TROUBLING GRID AND THE DYNAMICS OF OUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Years ago, the US electrical system was dominated by the utilities who owned the poles, wires, and power plants that brought the power to America. But today, major portions of our electrical system have been restructured into power markets that function like auction houses in which power plant owners have to bid to supply power to the grid. This came about through “deregulation,” which promised to give the little guy the opportunity to compete with the big boys and decrease the cost of electricity. In the beginning, cost was reduced, but at the expense of grid reliability . To keep the electrical system running, RTOs (Regional Transmission Organizations) formed new market structures which resulted in more regulation. These market structures are controlled by a network of insiders (traders), selected by the RTOs. These traders are not responsible for “keeping the lights on.” Instead, they prefer volatility to stability. Why? The traders want volatility – making them money. What’s good for traders isn’t necessarily good for the country. For example, in New England, auctions for power are split in two categories: energy capacity . An energy auction and happens just five minutes ahead of the provision of supply to meet grid’s demands, and the low-priced unit(s) get picked first, requiring all other power plants to be paid the same price as the highest of the low-price plants chosen, called the “clearing price”. Capacity auctions look into the future, anticipating the electrical needs. This requires power plants to be available whenever the grid might need them. However, that doesn’t mean they will always be available, as evidenced by severe weather events where natural gas pipelines often freeze, or at best can’t receive the flow of gas needed to produce full power. In the case of renewables, the sun may not be shining, or the wind may not be blowing. So, their ability to provide “just in time” supply is not reliable. In either case, these auctions do not focus on reliability, but focus on fairness in competition - often resulting in power redistribution or brownouts, when the customers need reliability. These auctions hurt baseload plants (nuclear & coal)...

If you missed my presentation on August 7th, 2024, at the APDT Conference in Bangkok, on the Integrated Rig Drilling and Completion (IRDC) contracting model (SPE-219581-MS), no worry! Below the main takeaways. The IRDC model intent is to challenge the traditional model by: 🔹 Enhancing collaboration among stakeholders 🔹 Streamlining operations 🔹 Reducing costs Traditional multi-service provider engagements are replaced by a single-point responsibility framework, where the main contractor oversees the entire project. This approach was implemented in offshore Sarawak, resulting in the introduction of various innovations in the region 🔹 Digital Well Program: Creating digital twins of wells for comprehensive analysis and reporting 🔹 Real-Time Well Engineering: Enhancing real-time monitoring and decision-making 🔹 Smart Helmet: Providing remote support, especially during troubleshooting 🔹 New approach for Rig Inspection Acceptance Drawing parallels with outcome-based contracting from the 1990s, the IRDC model emphasizes performance outcomes and risk-sharing, driving efficiency and innovation. #APDT #OilAndGas #SPE #Collaboration #Digitalization #IRDC #SapuraEnergy

Having spent 10 years of my career in Subsea business previously, i'm currently seeing a replica of subsea business model in CCUS supply chain. Modular units, integrated EPC contracts, incumbent technology... sounds familiar? SLB’s recent announcement that it will acquire 80% of Aker Carbon Capture (ACC) is a step towards addressing a critical gap in the oilfield service group’s carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) capabilities. The deal will help SLB compete for integrated CCUS contracts – a rare capability among top oilfield service companies. As such, SLB could end up doing to the CCUS market what it did to the subsea sector through its OneSubsea joint venture with Aker Solutions and Subsea7, which competed for integrated contracts and ultimately led the market down this path. The latest deal, which extends beyond financial investment, aligns with SLB’s strategy of targeting $3 billion in revenue from its new energy business. Announced CCUS projects are moving into mature stage, contract for EPC is set to increase significantly in the coming years. This decision illustrates SLB's determination to catch up with peers such as Technip Energies and Baker Hughes who have already carved out a significant presence in the CCUS market through diverse technology offerings and strategic acquisitions. Will this set the future of Capture technology supplier landscape to be incumbent to EPC contract?
