... Abstract Offshore pipelay is a complex activity that is subject to some risks due to the challenging operating scenario. The risks may concern the workers during pipes handling, the subsea environment that may be subject to huge seabed rectification works and the integrity of the pipeline...

... architecture to ensure integrity is maintained throughout. Often overlooked, improper handling and installation through lack of knowledge, equipment selection, or technology have led to many well integrity issues in HPHT wells. The presence of certain corrosive downhole species, combined with the high...

.... In this paper, we develop a multi-purpose fluid specification for a CCStransport hub. The specification is flexible as it takes into consideration a wide range of emitters,industry type and capture technology. We describe a development framework that takes intoconsideration: mechanical integrity (corrosion...

... to understand the whole development, calculate time for each step and map the daily rate of the infrastructures (boats and equipment) required to estimate the cost by its availability. Depending on the equipment's integrity assessment, the field's life extension can be feasible and should be considered a viable...

... Abstract This paper explains the efforts to assess the integrity status and to extend the life of the subsea system connected to a Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO) moored offshore in Brazil, at 700m water depth, set up in 2003 as the first IOC operated assets in Brazil...

... integrated digital electronics contribute to minimal power consumption, while recording and delivering calibrated data. Abstract Well integrity to prevent catastrophic damage has always been a key focus of the Oil and Gas industry and Oil and Gas operators keep working to reinforce it. Today, well...

... Abstract The problem of structural integrity in flanged connections has largely been solved by existing codes and standards, which address parameters such as pressure, temperature, and material properties. There are, however, some conditions that if not considered, will undermine the long-term...

... through mathematical modelling. Based on that, considering innovation as critical success factor ( Rocha, 2012 ), PETROBRAS started an R&D project to evaluate, in real time, critical integrity events during production phase. The approach proposed consists on the integration of a transient fluid flow...

... to develop and consolidate a methodology based on transient thermal analysis to deal with thermal shock events in the well, as proposed in this paper. Furthermore, this work also proposes four alternatives to mitigate the well integrity loss based on the transient thermal simulations and a comprehensive well...

... Abstract Building a digital oil-field or digital twin, without involving multiple digital partners, and costly time-consuming digital endeavor is a significant challenge in Oil & Gas industry. In most cases, such systems are capable of data integration and visualization for only a part...

... Abstract This paper investigates the critical areas at every stage in the lifecycle of the floater that may have been overlooked by classification bodies as well as owners and operators. These areas result in compromise of safety, integrity and operational capability leading to direct costs...

.... This data is then combined in digital 3D space to give an accurate representation of current equipment condition and mechanical integrity of critical offshore assets. Such inspection and testing can be conducted during manufacturing as a quality check, creating digital baseline records, or on deck during...
