... calculation of the LC for any given point in the Gulf of Mexico, when combined with geospatial attributes such as bathymetry, wind speeds, distance to shore etc. An Iterative Geospatial Algorithm was then used to generate LC values and LC "GSLC Maps" across the entire US GOM for all eight ROICE cases...

... Abstract In shallow water wells in the Gulf of Mexico, running and cementing the production casing are considered some of the most complex and critical operations, due to challenging wellbore conditions, 3D trajectories and heterogenous formations with different pressure regimes in the same...

... of Mexico. The approach consists of using an attention-based long short-term memory recurrent neural network to learn the temporal patterns from a network of available buoy observations, that is then combined with a random forest based spatial nowcasting model, trained on reanalysis data, to develop...

... while also extending the life of offshore platforms, ultimately delaying the financial burden of decommissioning. For repurposing scenarios, we examined public production data from the Corpus Christi Bay and the Galveston Bay in Texas Coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico for geothermal power potential...

... containment, oil and gas still consistently eminates from the seafloor. A multi-mile sheen continually presented itself on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico. Abstract In September 2004, within the Mississippi Canyon Area, a platform was toppled by a subsea mudslide that occurred during Hurricane Ivan...

... (ML) models creates an opportunity to assess potential hazards and the infrastructure they impact. We present a use case demonstrating the combined application of published ML tools to U.S. federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico, an actively explored region for offshore energy that is affected...

... Abstract Recently, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) designated wind energy areas (WEAs) within the Gulf of Mexico, including six areas on East Texas and West Louisiana shelves. The objective of this study is to expand upon a previously completed BOEM-funded desktop study and focus...

.... Gas hydrates have been found in the area with water depths exceeding about 1,500 ft in the northern Gulf of Mexico ( Brooks et al., 1989 ; Cooper and Hart, 2003 ). The study area is located in the region of potential gas hydrate formation as its water depths and temperature gradients are within...

.... 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...

... of depleted oil and gas 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...

... 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...

... Abstract This paper describes the challenges and opportunities facing 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 northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) coast using data from the SMU node of the NGDS (2014) geothermal database. The geothermal gradient is used to understand the thermal resource in the GOM and select areas that are thermally perspective. Production data used to complete the well assessment were public data...

... Abstract The activities in the Gulf of Mexico are thriving with a considerable number of oil and gas platforms operating in this area. Wave power can provide a substantial portion of clean power to substitute for the inefficient gas turbines used on the platforms. Wave power density (wave...

... 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...

.... Accordingly, many Gulf of Mexico wells and facilities will soon reach the end of their useful lives. At that point the Operator will incur substantial wells (P&A) costs in addition to facilities’ decommissioning costs. Extending the useful lives of these wells, fields and facilities, while deferring P...

... 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...

... Abstract 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...
