ABSTRACT Research on the control and recovery of oil by use of surface active chemicals and in situ generation of polyurethane foam is discussed. Both laboratory experiments and full-scale field tests demonstrating the efficiency of the system are reviewed in depth. Total system capability utilizing ...
ABSTRACT This paper describes the efforts of one of the twenty-three coastal states to assess the types, quantity, and economic quality of minerals that have accumulated in the unexplored underwater land area owned and controlled by the state. It describes the selection of offshore sampling stations, ...
This paper describes the concept,configuration and design for a breakwater to protect the twin 1150 megawatt nuclear generating plants for the Atlantic Generating Station. This station, the world's first major commercial floating nuclear generating station, will be built by Public Service Electric and ...
ABSTRACT This paper discusses pre-lay survey work and the difficult conditions found along the deepwater portions of the Jolliet pipelines. Water depths range from about 1760 ft at the TLWP in Green Canyon Block 184 to about 616 ft at the CPP in Green Canyon Block 52, a straight-line distance of about ...
Abstract This paper describes development of new subsea well intervention technologies that will support increased reservoir recovery. Subsea lubricator for seven inch and 10.000psi applications operated from dynamically positioned vessels has been developed and are now ready for use in the North Sea. ...
ABSTRACT A typical marine phosphate deposit previously known to exist on the Coronado Bank Southern California was used by the Bureau of Mines Marine Minerals Technology Center as an ocean laboratory for testing equipment and techniques associated with the Center's deposit delineation research program. ...
ABSTRACT Over the years, oil and gas well operators have been able to develop solutions to practically all problems that occur downhole. The difficulties and expense incurred in the implementation of these solutions, however, can be significantly multiplied when the problem is incorrectly identified. ...
ABSTRACT Major advances by several independent efforts have taken place in the last few years to develop the nodule resource. A synopsis of this activity is presented. A summary and comparison of the available schedules and cost and investment estimates of several programs is presented. An analysis ...
Preamble: The nature of weed areas around Britain. Extensive tracts of the inter-tidal and sub-littoral zones of coasts display an array of seaweeds, which may be profuse enough to form weed 'forests' within the marine ecosystem, (19,20,21) providing some protection against bed-scour, tending to obscure ...
Abstract Seismic Reservoir Monitoring denotes the interpretation of successive 3D seismic volumes acquired over a producing reservoir to provide information on production-induced changes in the reservoir. The concept is not new but hitherto there have been few documented examples of its successful application ...
ABSTRACT To understand the effects of commercial ferromanganese mining on the oceanic environment, baseline studies must be made on the water column and ocean floor in typical areas prior to full-scale mining operations. This report is a preliminary overview of the baseline conditions in a 24,000 km2 ...
Abstract A floating platform for arctic regions is required to break ice and withstand high ice loads, be disconnected and towed away in the event of approaching icebergs, leaving the mooring lines and risers in-place, support large topsides and provide large quantities of utility storage. Additionally ...
ABSTRACT With increasing use of offshore and estuarine facilities for production, handling, and transportation of refined and crude oil products, the potential for ecological destructive spillage is greatly enhanced. Restoration of damaged habitats previously has been limited to mechanical and chemical ...
ABSTRACT The engineering of well log sensors into drill collars enables the recording of Formation Resistivity, Gamma Ray, Neutron Porosity, Bulk Density and Photoelectric Factor (Pe). Data are recorded Downhole and selected data are transmitted to the surface in real time by way of mud pulse telemetry. ...
Abstract Almost without exception, the small island nations of the Pacific are facing the need to accommodate growing populations in a global environment that imposes significant changes in how people live. Roads, airports, public buildings, durable dwellings, hotels, and shore protection are all part ...
ABSTRACT Geologic environmental studies in lower Cook Inlet Alaska, indicate that in addition to earthquake accelerations, nuees ardentes from volcanic eruptions, and shallow gas, the only other significant potential geologic hazard is that associated with sand motion and migration of bed forms found ...
ABSTRACT The Oseberg Transportation System includes a crude oil pipeline placed in water depths up to 357m, connecting the Oseberg Field in the North Sea with a storage terminal in Norway. In the eastern slope of the Norwegian Trench, gravel sleepers were placed and a shore approach tunnel was used ...
Abstract 14 platforms with various functions have been made redundant as a result of the Ekofisk II project, and although some of them will continue to operate some years after startup of Ekofisk II, a common Cessation plan and an Impact Assessment will be prepared for decommissioning and disposal of ...
Abstract The comparison of today's slickline capabilities with its early usage for routine remedial workovers and maintenance best illustrates the significant advances that have occurred within slickline technology. Today, for example, slickline can be used to I) set and retrieve slickline-retrievable ...
Abstract This paper describes the experience in Brazil with Casing Drilling Technology, which was developed to reduce costs and eliminate wellbore instability and loss circulation problems. This system integrates the drilling and casing running processes into a single operation, providing a more efficient ...
