... properties, it is challenging to identify and to model the shear forces accurately. This paper presents the results of eight small-scale experiments run on the prototype of a novel test rig. In each experiment, a bitumen-coated armor wire is pulled out of a cable stub at constant pulling speed...

... plant of the Draugen platform by performing an energy and exergy analysis is evaluated (Nguyen et al., 2014). The life performance of an offshore platform by comparing three representative stages of an oil field is analyzed (Nguyen et al., 2014). bitumen platform sagd flow flow steam...

... Abstract Coating armor wires of subsea power cables, umbilicals, and power umbilicals in bitumen is a common industry practice due to bitumen's excellent and field-proven anti-corrosion properties. The temperature dependent, viscoelastic behavior of bitumen influences the cables...

... Abstract Bitumen is field-proved to be a highly effective corrosion protection for steel armor wires in subsea power cables, umbilicals, and power umbilicals. Bitumen's viscoelastic properties are known to influence the mechanical properties of cables, umbilicals, and power umbilicals. Still...

... ABSTRACT SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) has been a primary production method with its successive performance for recovering viscous oil sands. If water- or gas-bearing zone is located nearby the bitumen layer, the significant heat loss occurs into these layers (i.e. thief zone) so...

... The exploration and development of oil sands in the world are accelerating. And the production ratio of oil sands in hydrocarbon energy is bigger and bigger. According to the data from USGS, there are about 651 billion barrels bitumen in the world (Jia, 2006). It distributes mainly in North America, former Soviet...
