Page 1PETRONAS, through Malaysia Petroleum Management(MPM), announced two initiatives aimed at bolstering therobustness of the local oil and gas sector, namely theintroduction of the Integrated Well Continuity Servicescontract and the planned establishment of the MPMHydraulic Workover Unit Academy.The first initiative, the Integrated Well Continuity Services(IWCS) contract was designed to address the challengesposed by rising cost and dynamic market conditions. TheIWCS introduces a more balanced approach to cost andmargins management compared with an earlier iterationknown as the Integrated Well Services (IWS) model.The implementation of IWCS adopts a comprehensivecontracting strategy, segmenting the work into fourprimary packages and 13 sub-packages covering criticalareas such as well interventions, well abandonment andworkover, as well as subsea intervention services.Following a thorough and rigorous technical evaluationprocess, 34 qualified panel contractors were selected todeliver the work. This new approach is expected to fosterequitable and effective collaboration in engineeringprojects for wells.The second initiative paves the way for the establishmentof the MPM Hydraulic Workover Unit (HWU) Academythrough a Memorandum of Understanding betweenPETRONAS, and both local and international HWU serviceproviders.Expected to be launched in 2025, the Academy will play apivotal role in developing specialised skills in wellabandonment and workover. This initiative aims toempower a capable workforce for the sustainable growthof the local oil and gas industry.“PETRONAS continues to prioritise initiatives such as theIWCS contract and the MPM HWU Academy to enhanceoperational effectiveness and foster collaboration acrossthe industry. These efforts will contribute to strategicallypositioning Malaysia more competitively in the globalenergy market,” he added.PETRONAS Unveils DualInitiatives to StrengthenMalaysia's Oil & Gas SectorInsight OutPETRONAS remains steadfast in its commitment to ensure anoptimal and sustainable supply of oil and gas for energy security,with MPM playing a crucial role in managing petroleumarrangements and providing stewardship for upstreampetroleum activities in Malaysia.

Page 2Colorado is the fourth-largest crude oil producing state inthe U.S. And more than 80% of Colorado crude comes fromWeld County, which sits on the Denver-Julesburg Basin. TheScience Channel program Tomorrow’s World Todayrecently visited Chevron’s Colorado operations.Chevron has expanded its operations and capabilities inColorado. The company has also implemented technology thatwill help it improve efficiency, lower the carbon intensity of itsoperations and develop innovative energy solutions. Here arejust a few of Chevron’s notable achievements in the area:Next-gen facility designs lower greenhouse gas emissionsfrom Chevron’s Colorado operations by more than 90% andreduce surface area by more than 95%, compared withChevron’s older facilities.At one Colorado facility, Chevron constructed a 999-kilowatt solar array designed to meet all the facility’selectricity needs. It’s estimated that this could help reduceCO2 emissions by more than 1,000 metric tons in 2025.Where possible, Chevron invests in infrastructure that useselectricity from the power grid to power drilling rigs. Thisreduces the company’s on-site greenhouse gas emissionsfrom drilling operations by more than 60%.Remote drilling allows the workforce to operate equipmentfrom a controlled environment rather than on the rig floor.This increases safety and precision.Insight OutThe world’s demand for energy has never been greater. Andas that need continues to grow, Chevron’s approach offersvaluable insights. “We aim to grow our oil and gas businessand lower the carbon intensity of our operations,” said KimMcHugh, vice president of Chevron’s Rockies Business Unit.“Many energy solutions will be needed, and we believe theworld will still require oil and natural gas.”By combining cutting-edge technologies with long-termstrategies, Chevron is helping to build the lower carbonenergy systems of the future.OMV secures long-termsupply of 67 GWh greenelectricity per yearOMV concludes power purchase agreements (PPAs),with VERBUND and ImWind and secures an annualpurchase of 67 GWh of sustainable electricity.

Page 31Siemens launches fully electronic e-Starter with semiconductor technologyTechnology & ProductsSiemens Smart Infrastructure launches its first fully electronic starter withsemiconductor technology. The SIMATIC ET 200SP e-Starter offers short-circuitprotection that is 1000 times faster and is virtually wear-free compared toconventional solutions such as circuit breakers or fuses. This ensures optimalprotection for motors as well as other types of loads and the applications in whichthey are used. The e-Starter also features the application-friendly Smart Start andfull integration into the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) concept. The compactdevice can be used worldwide, requires minimal space in the control cabinet, and iseasy to install.In industries such as food and beverage, intralogistics, and mechanical engineering,high efficiency motors are used in demanding applications, for example to driveconveyor systems or pumps. Malfunctions and failures can quickly lead toconsiderable damage and costs. Against this backdrop, motor starters play animportant role: They not only switch motors reliably, but also protect them againstoverload and short circuits.The e-starter is typically used in areas where short circuits occur frequently. The foodindustry is subject to strict hygiene regulations. For example, conveyor systems often haveto be deep-cleaned using high-pressure washers. Liquid can cause short circuits on worncables between starters and motors that move the conveyor belts. This often results incostly downtimes. The new ET 200SP e-starter detects a short-circuit current extremelyquickly and switches it off immediately. This prevents potentially damaging short-circuitcurrents from occurring in the first place. Once the cause of the short circuit has beeneliminated, the device is immediately ready to be switched on again. Procuring spare partsor replacing devices – as was often necessary after short circuits – is no longer required.The SIMATIC ET 200SP e-Starter usessemiconductor technology with siliconcarbide metal-oxide semiconductorfield-effect transistors (SiC MOSFETS),which enables ultra-fast and wear-freeswitching. Because of the short-circuitprotection device they are equippedwith conventional feeder solutionshave a comparatively slow responsetime. As a result, the device oftenneeds to be replaced when a shortcircuit occurs. In contrast, the e-Starterdetects short circuits extremely quicklyand switches off in less than 4 µs. Thismakes it approximately 1,000 timesfaster than conventional components.The device offers unlimited short-circuit shutdown and does not need tobe replaced after being tripped, whichincreases availability and significantlyreduces warehousing costs forreplacement parts.High inrush currents are typical forhigh-efficiency motors, e.g. those inenergy efficiency classes IE3 and IE4,and can lead to unintended trips of theprotection device. The phase-optimized switching and Smart Start ofthe SIMATIC ET 200SP e-Starterneutralize the inrush currents andsignificantly reduce the startingcurrents and therefore the electricalload on the grid during start-up. Inaddition, the torque surges that occurduring a direct start are minimized aswell, noticeably reducing themechanical wear. This means that lessmaintenance work is required – avaluable benefit for applications with ahigh switching rate.

Page 34Balancing Act: Navigating the Seasof Industry and EnvironmentalResponsibilityFeature StorySustainable Harvest: Innovations in Oil and Gas ExtractionAs climate change intensifies and the urgencyfor sustainable energy mounts, the oil and gasindustry stands at a crossroads. The need forfossil fuels remains, yet the environmentaltoll of extraction processes has cast a shadowover the sector. In response, forward-thinking companies are pioneeringgroundbreaking innovations in extractiontechnology and environmental management,transforming the industry in ways that couldpermanently alter its ecological footprint.These advancements not only aim to mitigateenvironmental damage but also seek toenhance efficiency and reduce costs. Byembracing a dual approach of modernizationand sustainability, these companies arepositioning themselves as leaders in a rapidlyevolving energy landscape.Innovative extraction methods are nowpaired with advanced environmentalsafeguards aimed at minimizingecological impact. A key advancement isthe adoption of precision drillingtechniques, which significantly lessenland disruption and enhance resourceyield by utilizing AI-driven drills that canadapt in real time to subsurfaceconditions. Additionally, companies areincorporating subsurface imagingtechnology, which not only facilitatesefficient extraction but also decreasesthe need for exploratory drilling, thusprotecting untouched landscapes.At the same time, organizations areimplementing closed-loop water systemsto recycle water used in fracking andextraction processes, effectivelydiminishing reliance on freshwater andreducing wastewater emissions. Thistransition to circular water usage marks asignificant shift towards sustainableresource consumption in an industryhistorically known for its heavy waterreliance.The conventional oil and gas extractionprocess presents significant environmentalchallenges, including greenhouse gasemissions, disruption of biodiversity, andwaste generation. However, an increasingfocus on Environmental, Social, andGovernance (ESG) criteria is compellingcompanies to transform outdated practices,navigating the complex relationship betweenenergy demand and climate responsibility.Striking this balance is a formidable task; itnecessitates a cohesive strategy wheresustainability and profitability are no longerseen as opposing forces, but as essentialcomponents of operational success.Carbon Capture,Utilization, and Storage(CCUS): The Pillar ofEmission ReductionTo effectively reduceemissions, the industry issignificantly increasing itsinvestments in CarbonCapture, Utilization, andStorage (CCUS). InnovativeCCUS technologies captureCO₂ emissions from processingplants, storing it in deepgeological formations orrepurposing it for enhanced oilrecovery, thereby establishinga sustainable resourcemanagement cycle. However,the current CCUS methodsface challenges, including highcosts and technicalcomplexities, which theindustry must overcome tomake these solutions feasibleon a global scale.

Page 40

Page 35Feature StoryAdditionally, energy companies are experimenting with theintegration of direct air capture (DAC) facilities near extractionsites. This emerging technology directly removes CO₂ from theatmosphere and, although still in its early stages, holds thepotential to complement CCUS efforts and offset emissionsgenerated elsewhere. This aligns with the industry's long-termobjectives for achieving net-zero operations.Digital transformation in the sector is accelerating as companiesleverage digital twins—real-time, virtual replicas of physicalassets. This allows operators to simulate extraction scenarios,optimizing resource use while identifying potentialenvironmental hazards before they arise. Digital twins providepredictive capabilities for operational efficiency andenvironmental stewardship, enabling companies to foreseerisks, manage resources more effectively, and reduce wastage.Predictive analytics is another powerful tool, using data toanticipate equipment failures, monitor emissions in real time,and prevent leaks that harm the environment. By implementingpredictive maintenance through machine learning algorithms,operators can minimize downtime, reduce greenhouse gasemissions, and cut operational costs simultaneously.Drones and AI-driven surveillance systems are becoming crucial inmonitoring pipelines, detecting leaks, and tracking wildlifemovements in real-time. These autonomous systems enableswift responses to emerging environmental threats, makingoperations safer and more environmentally conscious.Beyond technology, sustainable extraction requiresactive community engagement and ecosystemmanagement. Companies are increasingly working withindigenous groups, environmental organizations, andlocal stakeholders to ensure that operations respectcultural values, environmental priorities, and land rights.In areas where ecosystems have been impacted,initiatives in habitat restoration, reforestation, and landreclamation are becoming industry norms, showing acommitment to returning the land to its natural statepost-extraction.Some companies have also introduced green bonds tofund specific environmental projects, allowingcommunities and investors alike to participate insustainability initiatives. This form of financing not onlyunderlines a company’s commitment to sustainabilitybut also enables local economies to share in the benefitsof corporate responsibility.Automation and Digital Twins: RevolutionizingEnvironmental Impact ManagementThe Path Forward: A Strategic Realignment ofIndustry ValuesThe path forward is clear: a sustainable oil and gasindustry will depend on continued technologicalinnovation, strict adherence to ESG criteria, and acollaborative approach with environmental regulatorsand local communities. While the economic andenvironmental stakes remain high, this is an era ofunprecedented technological potential.

The sector’s ability toadapt, innovate, and embrace sustainable practiceswill define its place in the energy landscape oftomorrow, transforming oil and gas from ahistorically extractive industry to a pivotal partnerin achieving a low-carbon future. As climate awareness reshapes industriesworldwide, shipbuilding is undergoing agreen revolution. Historically associatedwith significant carbon emissions andpollution, the maritime industry nowfaces urgent calls for sustainabletransformation. Advanced engineering,renewable energy integration, and eco-friendly materials are redefining howvessels are designed and built, promisingto cut emissions, protect marineecosystems, and create a new era ofsustainable ocean travel.One of the most remarkable shifts inmodern shipbuilding is the return to windpower, albeit with a futuristic twist.Rethinking traditional sails, engineers areintroducing automated kite sails, rotor sails,and wing sails that significantly reducefuel consumption by capturing naturalwind energy. These designs are controlled bysophisticated onboard systems thatadjust to wind conditions in real-time,achieving fuel savings of up to 20% onlong voyages.The integration of solar power is alsobecoming widespread. Solar panelsinstalled on deck are increasinglyefficient, providing auxiliary power toships' systems and reducing thereliance on fossil-fuel-generatedelectricity. For smaller vessels, solarenergy can power everything fromnavigation to lighting, allowing short-range ferries to operate emissions-free in harbors and coastal waters.Through strategic realignment, the industry has an opportunity toset a new standard for sustainable energy and ensure that the nextchapter in oil and gas is one defined by accountability, innovation,and resilience. By investing in new technologies and fosteringcollaborations with clean energy sectors, the oil and gas industry candrive significant advancements in reducing carbon emissions. Thiscommitment will not only bolster its reputation but also attractinvestment and talent focused on fostering a sustainable energyecosystem.Sailing Green – Eco-Friendly Designs in Modern ShipbuildingElectric and Hybrid Engines:Paving the Way to Emission-Free TravelMirroring the automotive industry'sadvancements, electric and hybridpropulsion systems arerevolutionizing the maritime sector.Fully electric ferries, such as thosecurrently operating in Scandinavia,showcase the practicality ofconducting short-haul trips with zeroemissions. For larger vessels, hybridengines that merge traditional fuelsources with battery power present aviable solution for reducing emissions.This innovative approach diminishesthe reliance on diesel engines, therebycutting down harmful pollutants likesulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides.

Page 37Moreover, AI-powered route optimization software calculates themost fuel-efficient paths, factoring in ocean currents, weatherconditions, and port schedules. These systems not only cut traveltimes but also reduce fuel consumption, directly loweringgreenhouse gas emissions. This is especially significant for cargoships and tankers, which are responsible for the bulk of maritimeemissions.In line with circular economy principles, eco-friendly shipbuildingincreasingly emphasizes waste reduction at every stage—fromconstruction to decommissioning. Shipbuilders are designingvessels with modular components that can be replaced and reused,extending the life of each part and reducing overall materialdemand. Furthermore, "design for disassembly" principles allowships to be dismantled at the end of their lifecycle, with metals,composites, and other components recycled into new vessels orrepurposed in other industries.Recycling and waste-to-energy systems are also being incorporatedon board. Advanced waste treatment technologies can convertorganic waste into energy, reducing the amount of waste dischargedinto the ocean and supporting the ship’s energy needs withrenewable sources.Feature StoryAs battery technology continues to advance, high-capacity batteries are enabling even sizable vesselsto shift towards electric power. Companies areinvesting in extensive battery banks that rechargewhile docked, effectively eliminating emissionsduring transit and making zero-emission shipping arealistic option for coastal routes and regionalfreight operations.Beyond propulsion, eco-friendly shipbuildinginvolves a fundamental re-evaluation of materials.Traditionally, shipbuilding has relied heavily on steeland other high-carbon materials, but lightweightcomposites, bioplastics, and recyclable alloys are nowgaining traction. These materials not only reduce theweight of vessels, improving fuel efficiency, but alsocontribute to a lower carbon footprint in productionand allow for easier recycling at the end of the ship'slifecycle.Innovations in sustainable coatings are also makingan impact. New, eco-friendly hull coatings reducebiofouling (the accumulation of marine organisms onthe hull), which in turn reduces drag and enhancesfuel efficiency. These coatings also eliminate theneed for toxic biocides, preventing the release ofharmful chemicals into the ocean.One of the most transformative trends in eco-friendly shipbuilding is the rise of digitaltechnologies that optimize design, performance, androute planning. Digital twins—virtual models ofvessels—enable designers to simulate thousands ofscenarios, predicting how different materials, enginetypes, and hull shapes will perform. This allows formaximum efficiency and minimal waste, as real-timedata from operational ships continuously improvesdesign accuracy.Sustainable Materials: Rethinking theCore of Shipbuilding

Page 38Feature StoryThe shift towards sustainable shipbuilding is bolstered by internationalregulatory efforts. Organizations such as the International MaritimeOrganization (IMO) have set ambitious targets for reducing carbon intensity by40% by 2030 and achieving a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by2050. These regulations are pushing shipbuilders and operators to adopt cleanertechnologies, greener designs, and more efficient fuels to meet global standards.Furthermore, ports worldwide are joining the green transition, offeringincentives like reduced fees for low-emission ships and installing shoresidepower stations that allow ships to turn off their engines while docked, furthercutting emissions. Collaborative efforts among shipbuilders, governments, andenvironmental organizations are driving progress and setting new standards forsustainable maritime travel. Perhaps the most revolutionary shift on the horizon for green shipbuilding is theadoption of hydrogen and ammonia as alternative fuels. Hydrogen-poweredvessels produce zero carbon emissions, with the only byproduct being watervapor. Companies are exploring liquid hydrogen storage and fuel cell technology forlarger vessels, although the scalability and storage challenges still requiresignificant research.Ammonia, another promising zero-carbon fuel, can be produced using renewableenergy and offers a higher energy density than hydrogen. With its establishedhandling protocols in the chemical industry, ammonia holds promise as a viablealternative fuel for long-haul, large-capacity vessels that require high energyoutputs.The movement toward eco-friendlyshipbuilding represents a monumentalshift for one of the world’s mostessential yet traditionally pollutingindustries. Through a combination oftechnological innovation, sustainablematerials, and regulatory compliance,the maritime industry is poised toreduce its environmental impact on amassive scale. From electric ferriescruising in silence to tankers poweredby hydrogen, the vision of greenshipping is becoming a reality—usheringin a new era where sustainability andsea travel sail together. As shipownersand builders embrace theseadvancements, they not only contributeto the health of our oceans but alsoattract a growing eco-consciousconsumer base. This sea change inshipbuilding practices promises to pavethe way for a more sustainable futurefor generations to come.Charting a Course for aSustainable Ocean Future

Page 40Success StoryBureau Veritas / Naval GroupFor ship owners and operators, safety and efficiency are ofthe utmost importance. Inefficient design and constructioncan result in high operating costs, increased fuelconsumption and a shorter operating life. Today, more andmore shipyards are modernizing their operations by takingadvantage of digital transformation to increase theirefficiency and quality as well as reduce costs. Naval Group,the European leader in the naval industry, is one of thesecompanies having chosen 3D models as the standard fortheir activities.Challenging processesDesign review is a key phasein the classification process.Facing limitations with thestandard classificationprocess of vessels based on2D drawings, BureauVeritas and Naval Groupjoined forces to definepragmatic solutions thatwould enhance thecompetitiveness of bothcompanies.“Classification is an iterativeprocess,” said CédricCheylan, manager of the hullstructure design team atNaval Group. “First, wedesign the structure in 3D,and then we create 2D plansfor Bureau Veritas toinspect and return to uswith their comments. Wethen either decide toprovide further justification,or to update the model in3D and start a new loop.Managing theinconsistencies that canarise between 3D modelsand 2D plans is difficult andtime-consuming. There is arisk of misunderstandingsbetween Bureau Veritasand Naval Group.”“To meet our business challenges, innovation is at the heartof our strategy,” said Olivier de la Bourdonnaye, executivevice president Industry, Naval Group. “Innovation inproduct, but also in processes. It will help us to decrease ourengineering costs and also improve the lead time of ourdevelopments.”To ensure ships comply with safety and environmentalregulations before they are set out to sea, ship designs andproduction facilities are tested, inspected and certified byindependent classification societies like Bureau Veritas, aglobal leader in this domain. “To remain competitive, weneed to review our business model to improveproductivity,” said Matthieu de Tugny, president, Marine &Offshore, Bureau Veritas. “Proceeding with our digitaltransformation and focusing on the life cycle managementof the products we certify are our main priorities. We areleveraging our digital initiatives to better respond to ourcustomers’ expectations and to improve our ownoperational excellence.”Bureau Veritas and Naval Group joined their forces to developthe 3D Classification concept based on the 3DEXPERIENCEplatform to reduce design review times of new ships and theinherent costs.3D Classification based on the 3DEXPERIENCEplatform will help us decrease our cost of engineeringand also improve the lead time of our developments. -Olivier de la Boudonnaye, Executive Vice PresidentIndustry, Naval Group“The standard classificationprocess based on 2D paperdrawings brings two mainlimitations,” explained Jean-François Segretain, marinetechnical director at BureauVeritas. “Finite elementcalculation models aregenerated from thesedrawings to perform thenecessary analyses.Unfortunately, there is nodirect link between thecalculation models used by theclassification society and thedrawings. Plus, it’s sometimesdifficult to see the geometry ofa complex shape using only 2Ddrawings.”“Instead of reviewing acollection of 2D drawings, weare now delivering theclassification based on the 3Dmodel of the vessel,” de Tugnysaid. To meet this challenge,Bureau Veritas is operatingthe 3D Classification processon a classified navy shipdesigned by Naval Group.3D Classification bringspractical, tangible andscalable benefits to theshipbuilding industry. -Matthieu de Tugny,President, Marine &Offshore, Bureau Veritas

By providing a replicablestructure for shipyards and classification societies,including industry methods and best practices, thesolution connects the dots for a streamlined design-to-certification process.“3D Classification brings practical, tangible andscalable benefits to the shipbuilding industry,” deTugny concluded.Success StoryBureau Veritas and Naval Group areleading the charge in thedevelopment of the 3D Classificationconcept based on Dassault Systèmes’3DEXPERIENCE platform. The maindriver is to accelerate theclassification process bytransitioning from 2D to 3D.“With 3D Classification, we willprovide Bureau Veritas with a 3Ddigital model, which eliminates theneed to create 2D plans,” Cheylansaid. “Implementing end-to-enddigital continuity between our twocompanies will provide benefits interms of time and costs as well aslead to a better technicalunderstanding.”“We are relying on the3DEXPERIENCE platform to pushthis new classification approachbased on a 3D model of the vesselforward,” de Tugny said. “Not onlywill we reduce the number ofiterations and the time spent tocertify a design, the differentstakeholders also can better shareinformation and connect data on thisplatform to our different calculationtools, which will improve accuracyand traceability.”“Moreover, we can automaticallygenerate our calculation models fromthe 3D digital mockup, which savestime and resources,” Segretainadded.The 3DEXPERIENCEplatform offers a number offeatures that make 3DClassification possible. Withfiltered information basedon roles, Bureau Veritas andNaval Group can ensureconfidentiality and IPprotection when sharingmodels with each other.They can directly integratecomments on the 3D modeland manage revisions byenabling easy visualizationof modified areas whilekeeping track of revisionhistory. They can link designand classification modelsthroughout the lifecycle of avessel. And it is easier tokeep track and updateinformation since they workfrom a single data source.Fostering digital continuityTailored to the shipbuilding industry
