Frontiers Issue 17: December 2006
Managing Editor Terry Knott welcomes readers to this issue of Frontiers, the BP magazine of technology and innovation
In this issue of Frontiers, we revisit BP’s ‘Field of the Future’ technology initiative. Three years ago this was a concept – now it has become reality, most notably for BP’s deepwater assets in the Gulf of Mexico, where the latest technology for real-time information management is bringing the onshore and offshore workplaces closer together. Also in the offshore exploration and production arena, we take a close look at the engineering innovations required to safely and successfully install the giant Shah Deniz gas platform in the Caspian Sea, readying the region for a stable new energy supply.
Other features point the spotlight at BP’s global lubricants business and its technology centres in Japan and Germany, two of five centres developing advanced lubricants to meet different transportation challenges around the world, while in the UK we get to grips with the latest methods for observing and analysing what goes on deep inside fluidised bed reactors. And to complete the international flavour of the stories in this issue of Frontiers, we learn of BP’s drive to ‘clean’ and rationalise the masses of information held in the myriad databases among the company’s 230 business units worldwide.
We hope you enjoy this issue of Frontiers.
