... Abstract A Geohazards assessment for the riserless section is critical in offshore drilling operations, especially in deepwater environments, such as Brazil or Gulf of Mexico as there is no blowout preventer (BOP) being utilized in this section of a well. If there is any occurrence...

.... Twenty-eight oil and gas well conductors were buried beneath the mudline under sediment and have continually been discharging oil and gas into the Gulf of Mexico since the incident occurred. In November of 2018, the United States Coast Guard partially federalized the worksite and solicited oil spill...

... reservoirs for carbon storage. A sensitivity analysis was then performed on criterion weightings to explore the results’ variability. The criteria-driven workflow and data confidence analysis were applied to fields in the Gulf of Mexico and existing carbon storage projects in depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs...

... of the world where large-scale wind developments are planned or currently being built are also centers for oil and gas production (e.g., North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, etc). It is logical to expect that in the coming years, opportunities will arise for operators to directly utilize the electricity generated...

...Methodology Wave power density was calculated with 10 years (2010-2019) meteorological data from WAVEWATCH III [ 17 ] for the Gulf of Mexico, located in 18-30º N, 80-98º W. A time step of significant wave height was 3-hour increments. The recent 10-year data was from NOAA FTP (National Oceanic...

... generate predictions with uncertainty estimates with the goal of providing ageohazard assessment before any shallow hazard surveys are performed.We used a geospatial machine learning model to predict total organic carbon (TOC) and porosity at the seafloor in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and model...

... Abstract This paper presents a summary of the results of a study of the potential for repurposing legacy oil and gas facilities in the Gulf of Mexico for Blue Economy uses. It was a limited study designed to summarize practical options for repurposing. The conclusions list those areas where...

... operators with mature assets in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Oxy has a large deepwater asset base that, although mature, continues to provide the company value through robustness coupled with enhanced recovery techniques. The deepwater Gulf of Mexico has transitioned from a reasonably steady pace...

... the 2000's, though, was focused onshore. Presently, there are active hydrocarbon plays that overlap with these previous geothermal exploration efforts ( Batir et al., 2021 ). Abstract Many offshore wells and platforms are nearing abandonment, in the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea, Offshore West Africa...

... electricity by hybrid wave and wind energy farms based on daily energy power production instead of annual average was conducted in this project. The hybrid energy farm was modeled and validated by applying meteorological data in Gulf of Mexico area from WaveWatch III system. With the hindcast wave and wind...

... Understanding the physics of generation, propagation, and dissipation of inertial currents is important from a variety of aspects. For the Gulf of Mexico, one such aspect is that these oscillations represent an uncertainty in the measurements and forecasting of the longer-period currents, such as those due...

... The oldest syn-rift Upper Triassic-Lower Jurassic material deposited in the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico basin contains mostly siliciclastics of nonmarine origin. Figure 2 . During the Callovian age (upper Middle Jurassic) thick accumulations of evaporites started to form throughout...

... Abstract The Gulf of Mexico's unique circulation characteristics pose a particular threat to marine operations and play a significant role in driving the criteria used for design and life extension analyses of offshore infrastructure. Estimates from existing reanalysis datasets used...

... Abstract Since 2009, the Gulf Coast Carbon Center at the Bureau of Economic Geology (The University of Texas at Austin) has undertaken multiple integrated geologic and geophysical studies to evaluate the continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico for CO 2 storage. Funding for these studies has...

... 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 Abstract The optimization of the field development in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM) requires the collaboaration of multiple disciplines including drilling, geophysics, geology, petrophysics and geomechanics. The latter has been on the rise for several decades (Brehm, Davis, Ward...

... spots in East Coast Canada, Gulf of Mexico, the Equatorial and Atlantic Margins, and Colombia. This paper will explore the factors that have contributed to building a successful deepwater sector from access to exploration, from development to production. It highlights some of the common challenges...

... in worldwide regions will be considered. It is first developed a semi-submersible in the Gulf of Mexico for hurricanes up to 1,000-year return period. Wind speeds in other representative locations worldwide, i.e., the North Sea, and offshore Northwest Australia, are then applied to reconfigure the semi...
