... gained using drone services and AI resulted in a faster reduction of overall operational risk. It is understood that there is a current backlog of inspections related to risers across offshore platforms. The time required to carry out inspections of all risers using traditional rope-access methods...

... 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...

..., and practical applications, three key technologies have been proposed, forming a set of efficient development technologies for offshore platform space, significantly increasing the number of well slots and wellbore. Abstract Well slots are the most essential resource in offshore oilfield development...

... operation in the early injection life, especially between the onshore hub to the offshore platform. Transporting CO 2 as multiphase flow is also acceptable downstream of the offshore platform, if there are no critical flow assurance risks such as hydrate and flow instability issues. Two ambient conditions...

..., pressure, and solidification were investigated for prevention severe problem at offshore platform. Lab-Scale & Pilot-Scale Experiments Preventing formation of dry ice and CO 2 hydrate is an important issue for safety, thus understanding solidification process & discovering methods...

... decarbonization pathways for an offshore platform. It is assumed that the platform is already in place and in operation, and that the industry is already taking the required actions to reduce flaring and venting and mitigating methane leaks. The analysis starts by identifying the major contributors to the GHG...

... for out-of-date control systems. As such, in many circumstances implementation of such systems can lower the capital expenditure needed to de-man an existing platform. For certain systems, artificial intelligence can be leveraged in de-manning an offshore platform at cheaper cost. Advanced...

... Abstract The objective of this study is to provide an approach to quantify the environmental benefits of the structural optimization in offshore platform design. As the interest in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has surged among investors and corporate stakeholders, the offshore...

... as they are outside the scope of this study. Federal offshore platforms should also be evaluated for re-purposing with geothermal power production potential using a similar process. Results from this study show that some wells within the bays reach sufficient temperatures, but many lack the flow rates needed...

... in 20 m water depth to withstand unidirectional environmental forces due to a maximum of 10.5 m high waves. Subsequent installation of an offshore platform with more wells can be undertaken to facilitate production operation only in case of a successful drilling outcome. If more than two wells...

... Offshore platforms, fixed or floaters, are a well-established design concept for oil explorations. It is fundamental to design these structures such that they can resist moderate to severe earthquakes without causing any severe damage to the occupants and to maintain the integrity...

... Abstract The oil and gas industry is known for its volatile boom and bust cycles, and this has a particularly strong effect on offshore platforms, which are substantial investments that do not always succeed in generating profit. To generate value and remain competitive in the offshore sector...

... Abstract Previous research indicated that interconnecting offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico with wind energy and the onshore grid can provide significant advantages. This research considered groups of offshore wind turbines as energy hubs to provide electricity to nearby offshore...

... wind energy for assessment for use on more than 4,000 offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico from data provided by the USGS CMGP, while simultaneously evaluating interconnection feasibility with the onshore grid. The results for the distance analysis were favorable, considering the criteria expressed...

... equipment exposed to the harsh offshore conditions and due to human error. The different types of gases which may be released in the offshore platforms in the petroleum industry are described in the following: Gas Type Location Methane (CH4) Combustible Containment Equipment, Topside, Drill Rig, Test...

... of extreme event response of fixed offshore structures have not been documented extensively in the literature. This study presents findings and conclusions from assessment studies for a range of offshore platforms. The findings of this study are expected to provide guidance for future assessments and help...

.... There have been several incidents where adverse effects were reported due to the effect of these waves on offshore platforms. This paper studies the effects of these waves on tension leg platforms (TLPs) and semi-submersible platforms within a coupled analysis framework. The physics is modeled by the second...
