There is a strong likelihood that additional requirements will be identified to conduct either an increased frequency of inspection of subsea infrastructure, or to benefit from the emergence of enhanced...

While some elements of design may be prescriptive, most prescriptive requirements do not originate at the top of the hierarchy of codes and standards. When fire safety systems are required, NFPA...

... Abstract The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is currently in the process of developing operational performance requirements for a future Great Lakes Icebreaker. Part of these efforts are revisiting the technical requirements for the propulsion diesel-electric system. Diesel-electric propulsion...

..., the asymmetric hull form results in more even transverse cargo distribution. It is shown to reduce ballast operation, reduce structural strengthening requirement and improve cargo loading/offloading operability, in addition to improving storage and ballasting capacities. The hull form exhibits excellent motion...

The topsides design focused on an "industry solution," by partnering with industry firms to evaluate the minimal equipment required to meet the nameplate capacity...

..., and batteries were rigorously tested. After years of in-water testing, the vehicle surpassed TRL 6 requirements for pipeline survey and inspection scopes. The unit can work as an ROV or operate in an autonomous and tetherless AUV configuration, with a working range of 120 km, a working depth rating of 6000 msw...

... 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...

... Abstract In 2009, the Vito field was discovered in more than 4,000 ft of water approximately 150 miles offshore from New Orleans, Louisiana. The project produces from Miocene-aged reservoirs nearly 30,000 feet below sea level. The Vito project was the first deep water project to require in-well...
