The newest addition of our bi-annual digital magazine, Offshore Technology Focus, is out now. Read it here on any device.

In our December issue, we focus on the changes the US has experienced (and ignited) since President Trump’s inauguration, almost a year ago. We begin by considering his ‘drill, baby, drill’ campaign promise, and how it has translated into the rig and productivity picture.

We also explore the question of energy independence through an interview with the vice-president of economics and research at the American Petroleum Institute, before shifting the focus to America’s European opportunities.

Turning to the technical side, we look at the developing autonomous capabilities of robotics, with a case study on Equinor’s use of Roberta the robotic ‘dog’ and Saipem’s Hydrone-R. Our issue also looks at evolving drone technology, and its deployment in the latest, largest detection campaign in the North Sea.

Zooming out, we consider the bigger picture, assessing the year gone by and looking ahead to 2026. The leaders and laggards have been established, and Offshore Technology Focus reveals who has won, why and how the next winners will be defined. Looking even further, beyond 2026, we investigate the potential future of end-of-life rigs: from fish farms to rocket launch pads, the future of oil and gas is varied and colourful, if not always straightforward.

Read all this, alongside news, deals and numbers defining the industry, in the latest issue of Offshore Technology Focus.

What to expect in the next issue of Future Power Technology

In our next issue, we will examine decarbonisation in the oil and gas sector, with a focus on the role of liquid natural gas. Heading into the four-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we also review how the conflict has shaped the sector and how sanctions have changed global pipelines.

The 2026 Offshore Technology Conference will spark new conversations around the potential for carbon capture, utilisation and storage and the enduring question of what comes next for end-of-life infrastructure.

Whatever 2026 brings, Offshore Technology Focus will track the sector.
