Oil & Gas Trends 2026 + Gold Market Outlook – What Subsea & Pipeline Pros Should Watch
By Oko Immanuel February 2 2026Founder & Owner, Offshore Pipeline InsightM.Eng in Subsea Engineering | Former Roughneck | Texas A&M Alumnus The energy sector in 2026 is a tale of two markets: oil & gas navigating oversupply and disciplined capital, while gold surges as a safe-haven asset amid uncertainty. Both intersect with offshore infrastructure gold’s rally supports mining […]
Hydrate Inhibitors: Preventing Blockages in Subsea HPHT Pipelines
March 2, 2026 By Oko ImmanuelFounder & Owner, Offshore Pipeline InsightM.Eng in Subsea Engineering | Former Roughneck | Texas A&M Alumnus In subsea HPHT pipelines, gas hydrates are one of the most common and costly flow assurance threats. Hydrates form when light hydrocarbons (methane, ethane) combine with water under high pressure (>500 psi) and low temperature (<77°F […]
Subsea Flow Assurance in HPHT Pipelines: Challenges and Solutions in 2026
