While the NYSERDA buoys are hugely valuable, additional measurements in the region...

.... This paper provides a numerical assessment of a WEC device comprising of a moored buoy with a Power Take-Off (PTO) system driven by line tension. This WEC system was developed by Laminar Scientific. AMOG was contracted by Testing and Expertise for Marine Energy (TEAMER) to provide a numerical assessment...

... their reliability in multiple scenarios. Because much larger hawser forces occur during sudden changes of wind direction than during steady-state storm conditions, fully-coupled hydrodynamic analyses and simulations were conducted for a 420,000 DWT tanker connected to a single anchor leg mooring (SALM) buoy when...

... as natural microgrids. Hence, accurate wave predictions to manage the interactions of a WEC array with microgrids is especially important. Recently developed, low-cost wave measurement buoys allow for operational assimilation of wave data at remote locations where real-time data have previously been...

It can also serve as a partial processing host with functionality ranging from Chemicals and Artificial Lift all the way...

... should allow direct offloading from the FPSOs onto conventional shuttle tankers including VLCCs. The OLT concept allows the transfer of oil from an FPSO to a conventional tanker moored in CALM Buoy through submerged oil offloading lines (OOLs) supported by a tethered submerged buoy. The conventional...

... Abstract Fugro was contracted in 2014 by Shell to provide a Fugro Wavescan Buoy system to support the life of field of the Stones development in the Gulf of Mexico. The companies have worked together to expand the monitoring system of the Shell Alcyone buoy system from a tool designed...

... Abstract The Stones Field FPSO design provided many challenges in the design of the disconnectable Buoy Turret Mooring (BTM), including the 2900m (9500ft) water depth (the world's deepest floating production system), the first use of steel lazy wave risers from a BTM system, the local...

... campaign. It presents a timeline of testing and shows how their timely results were integrated into the design process. Eight different campaigns will be discussed in the paper. They fall into three categories; Buoy Turret Mooring (BTM), FPSO, and Turret. The early campaigns focused on the disconnectable...

... and the riser support buoy inside the moonpool. Based on the optimization results, the advantages and disadvantages of this solution are pointed out at well the estimated cost reduction, which also considers assessments in different scenarios by Monte Carlo approach. oil production innovation...

... Abstract From February to June 2015, the Loop Current and its associated eddies were monitored at an unprecedented rate in southern Walker Ridge using traditional satellite sensors, satellite-tracked Lagrangian buoys, ship-mounted ADCPs, and moored ADCPs. In addition, a newly developed aerial...
