... Abstract The authors have been working with the challenges related to decommissioning facilities offshore California since 1996. In a 2018 OTC paper (OTC-28844-MS) they reviewed the challenges for offshore facility decommissioning in this region. This paper reviews the oil and gas platform...

... Abstract Recently, the ultra large wind turbines push floating wind platform’s size to a gigantic scale. The most recent 15MW wind turbine brings a lot of challenges to the floating structure design. Rigid body assumptions of the floating body and wind turbine tower may not be valid...

... circulation models of the deepwater Gulf of Mexico using adaptive sampling of in situ oceanographic observational platforms, which includes autonomous vehicles, buoyancy gliders, floats, drifters, and high-frequency radar is described. Profiling platforms, i.e., gliders and floats, will collect co-located...

... decarbonization pathways for an offshore platform. It is assumed that the platform is already in place and in operation, and that the industry is already taking the required actions to reduce flaring and venting and mitigating methane leaks. The analysis starts by identifying the major contributors to the GHG...

... of the platform, was identified as the main cause for the reduced VIM response. In this paper a coupled approach between the CFD code ReFRESCO and the time-domain mooring code aNySIM-XMF is utilized to investigate the effect of the damping from the riser and mooring systems on the VIM response of a semi...

... Abstract Innovation and new technologies come hand by hand in the Oil and Gas industry adding value and improving processes and safety at the same time reducing costs. This paper presents how the improvement of wireless connectivity in offshore platforms has been supporting critical mission...

... Abstract As in the world, the increase in the number of platform decommissioning projects in Brazil is directly influenced by the advanced age of some of the facilities, especially in the Campos Basin. Although the decommissioning phase is part of the life cycle of an oil development project...

... Abstract This paper is a summary of a study that covers through-life economics for producing green hydrogen from offshore fixed wind turbines. The options compare production of hydrogen on the turbine itself (decentralised) with production on a dedicated production platform (centralised...

... platform design is selected. This reference floating offshore wind turbine is developed by the University of Maine – USA to support the International Energy Agency (IEA) 15-MW reference wind turbine. In total, there are eight individual mooring designs analyzed in this study, which are rooted from two...

... Abstract This paper proposes a nonconventional substructure of a fixed offshore wellhead platform that can support a reasonably large deck required for housing 8 wells and rigless well-intervention equipment. The large deck area is considered to avoid hiring of costly jack-up rig or lift boat...

... volumes. This strategy is largely unsuccessful when it comes to marginal-untapped-scattered-shallow oil resource of less than 5MMboe. A case study was initially designed to have multiple drill centers with a handful of pipeline tiebacks, requiring a large wellhead platform (WHP). This led to a highly...

... and permitting requirements. A sensor platform has been developed for measuring local currents at the identified sites in support of resource characterization. Two out of the eight sites surveyed in the Intracoastal Waterways are found to meet the field-testing requirements for current resource, water depth...

... turret system for stationkeeping. The platform is designed to weathervane freely around the turret to passively align the FOWT heading to the wind direction with yaw restoring function from a tailor-designed airfoil shaped A-frame tower. The passive alignment capability could potentially eliminate...

... Abstract Public acceptance of offshore wind development projects is critical to successfully advancing and accelerating the US energy transition. A newly developed geo-data engagement platform has been designed to help operators and regulators manage the rapidly growing volumes of complex geo...
