... Abstract The search for minerals typically starts with a reconnaissance phase. After finding a promising target area, further prospecting work will be conducted. Finally with growing confidence of having encountered an ore deposit with commercially viable concentrations of relevant minerals...

These fine-grained sediments are deposited on the central and south Texas shelves as the Texas Mud Blanket. Sedimentation is very low elsewhere...

A suitable and promising alternative to land deposits are seabed mineral resources. The focus of this work is the development and analysis of a new method to explore...

...). General sediment conditions for both these provinces include Holocene-Pleistocene age silts and clays with intervals of sandy clay or sandy layers related to mass transport deposits (MTDs) from gravity flows. A key difference between the provinces is the potential for older geological units...

... This paper briefly explains the flow assurance technology "cold flow" together with concepts for a practical subsea implementation on a liquid dominated producing field. The technology is a fluid treatment concept that prevents deposition of wax and hydrate solids and allows long-distance...

... the fractures ( Faulds and Hinz, 2015 ). Fault reactivations Australian REE deposits are a result of fluid flow through crustal-scale fault zones or structures. The fluids were mineral-rich, and they flowed through the interstices during times of relative tectonic quiescence (Spandler, et al., 2020). Ore...

... Abstract Wax deposition is one of the known challenges of flow assurance management in upstream oil production and operations demanding continuous improvements and the search for more effective prevention and remediation methods. At the same time, there are no universally agreed upon test...

... Selection of effective paraffin inhibitors is critical for managing wax deposition risks in existing assets and for enabling potential CAPEX savings in new developments. Cold finger (CF) testing is a common method used for screening paraffin inhibitors (PI), but there are various kinds...

... Abstract Deepwater fields, such as those encountered in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), often exhibit reservoir tar deposits and asphaltene instability ( Dumont et al, 2012 , Mullins et al, 2016 ). This instability may manifest itself within the reservoir in the form of out of equilibrium asphaltene...
