Shell starts production at Vito in US Gulf of Mexico; new, simplified design

Green Car Congress

With an estimated peak production of 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, Vito is the company’s first deep-water platform in the GoM to employ a simplified, cost-efficient host design. Vito also serves as the design standard for the Whale project that will feature a 99% replication of the Vito hull and 80% of Vito’s topsides.

ETH Zurich catalyst can convert polypropylene directly into motor oil with high selectivity

Green Car Congress

With tuning, the catalyst can achieve a selectivity of 80% toward motor oil (C 21 –C 45 ). This suggests that the design of catalysts that can control the selectivity of this process is challenging. Following this strategy, the selectivity of 80% toward motor oil (C 21 –C 45 ) can be achieved. Shibashish D. Jaydev, Antonio J.
