A hydrodynamic analysis of deep-water moorings
The move by the offshore oil & gas industry to deep water has an impact on the selection of mooring system configuration and design method. Methods of analysis need to be re-evaluated as water depth increases. The primary purpose of this thesis is to study the hydrodynamics of deep water moorings …

The design of a deep water catenary riser
… concept suitable for oil reservoirs situated in deep (1500 m) water which can be quickly and safely installed in areas with limited weather windows. The proposed design is based upon a steel catenary riser which will connect an FPSO directly into either a wellhead or seabed pipeline system …

Cenozoic deep-water agglutinated foraminifera in the North Atlantic
… observed among flysch-type assemblages. Modern deep-sea agglutinated foraminiferal faunas provide an analog to fossil flysch-type assemblages and serve as models for paleoecologic studies. Core-top samples from the Panama Basin, Gulf of Mexico and Nova Scotian continental rise were examined in …

LARGE-EDDY SIMULATION OF DEEP-WATER HYDROCARBON PLUME DYNAMICS
During a deep-water wellhead blowout incident, the dynamics of the released hydrocarbon plume is strongly affected by the gas dissolution and hydration process that weakens the bubble-induced buoyancy for driving the plume. In this study, a new modeling strategy is developed to efficiently …

The Evolution and Impact of Weddell Sea Deep Water
… overturning circulation is partially driven by deep water formation along the Antarctic continent, which is strongly modulated by interactions of surface water with the floating ice shelves. These processes are crucial for the evolution of the climate in the past and future, but remain generally …

"Inhabitants of the Deep": Water and the Material Imagination of Blackness
… a black ecocritical study of the trope of water in African Diasporic Literature. Over the course of three chapters treating fiction, drama, and photography, in a study both multi-generic and interdisciplinary in scope, I illuminate the ways in which black literature recursively figures the …

Stability of Methane-Ethane-Propane Mixed Gas Hydrates under Deep Water Conditions
… their fully-saturated levels in the surrounding water phase. This process can be described as dissolution. In situ observations of marine outcrops of gas hydrates indicate that these hydrates exposed to surrounding seawater are more stable than predicted using diffusion-controlled models based on …

The role of North Atlantic Deep Water formation in the thermohaline circulation
… ocean thermohaline circulation. North Atlantic Deep Water formation is an important component of this system and the role of this process in the ventilation, structure and variability of all the world ocean basins is studied. The production of deep water in the north Atlantic Ocean has profound …

Comparison of heart rates between deep water running, treadmill running, and cycling
Deep water running (DWR) has become an alternate training technique among injured runners. DWR uses similar movements as running and can be a training modality for injured runners. It has not been well established whether the heart rate (HR) in water exercise and land exercise is the same when the …

An approach for upscaling the flow effects of multiple deep-water genetic units
Developing a deep-water basin raises many issues and challenges; one of the most significant and necessary issues is overpressure prediction. Basin modelling to construct full scale models is an effective way to find out overpressure distribution in many conditions. However, with current modelling …

The Impact of Fishing on Populations of Deep-water Chondrichthyan Fishes of the Northeast Atlantic
… of a reference fleet of French commercial deep-water bottom trawlers from Lorient operating to the west of the British Isles have been described between 1999 and 2001, and their subsequent impact on several species of deep-water chondrichthyans from the area were assessed. Landings from a …

Thermal modeling for calculation of formation temperatures for deep water wells with chemical heat source
… and the fields mature. To be able to access deeper sections of the reservoirs, it is essential to drill through depleted zones effectively. This need brings around the challenges including severe lost circulation and poor zonal isolation. Artificially strengthening the wellbore is of crucial …

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon determination in liver of Menhaden exposed to the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill
<p>The April 2010 BP® oil spill has caused great concern for ecological impacts in the Gulf of Mexico. Crude oil contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) and oil spills increase the exposure of aquatic organisms to this class of chemicals. The overall detrimental health effects associated …
