Background: Offshore oil and gas platforms generally have a lifetime of 30 to 40 years, and platform decommissioning is a major issue because many of the existing offshore oil and gas platforms are reaching the end of their service life. There are many possible options for decommissioning offshore oil and gas platforms, and each decommissioning option can be implemented using different methods ...

This paper empirically explores the concept of co-materialization to explain the digital innovation dynamics in offshore petroleum production. The central insight developed is that the very nature of subsurface processes and phenomena that may be monitored and controlled is transformed as offshore petroleum production is digitalized. The paper shows how digital technologies are intrinsic to thi...

Floating offshore structures, particularly floating oil production, storage and offloading systems (FPSOs) are still in great demand, both in small and large reservoirs, for deployment in deep water. The prediction of such vessels’ responses to her environmental loading over her lifetime is now often undertaken using response-based design methodology, although the approach is still in its...

Abstract This project provides an efficient and effective wave dissipation solution for the real needs of various large oceanic floating platforms, achieves power generation gain energy utilization equipment with help local point aggregation sub-effect. The device uses special shaped plates laid in array to adjust unit plate spacing attitude form Bragg resonance surface wavelength fitting, whic...

Renewable energies is an important sector that needs to be sustained and increased by the action of policies and economic support. Opponents to the extraction of fossil fuels justify their renounced use with the COP21 statements, signed by all the participating countries to implement the production of renewable energies and reduce the use of fossil fuels. In particular, the containment of relea...
