Thermal Property Determination Using Optimization of One-side Known Radiant Exposure
… including aircraft, ships, and offshore oil drilling platforms, have witnessed a surge in composite material usage. However, exposure to elevated temperatures poses a significant risk to these materials, especially in scenarios such as fires and high-temperature exhaust gas impingement. …

Visualization of vibration experienced in offshore platforms
… experienced by marine risers in offshore drilling platforms due to ocean current flows, and appears to be perpendicular to the direction of such flows. VIV causes oil companies large capital losses, supply chain disruption, and environmental and brand name damage. For these reasons, both …

Some aspects of the analysis of offshore structures
… forces on self-supporting steel and concrete oil drilling platforms. Various methods of estimating the forces on the structure, and various ways of idealising both the forces and the structure itself, are compared, the - objective being a realistic and safe design.<br/><br/>The sea is here …

Mobile NMR for rock porosity and permeability
… devices are conveniently shipped, e.g. to drilling platforms. They allow rapid wellsite analysis of large-size cores in a fresh state without prior preparation. The sensors are experimental prototypes and differ in their magnetic field strength and homogeneity. The magnetic field of the …

Damping estimation, response prediction and fatigue calculation of an operational single pile platform
A comparison between predicted and measured damping controlled dynamic response of an operational single pile platform (AMOCO's South Marsh Island Block 33B platform) is presented. In the predictive analysis, a finite element model of the structure and a theoretical assessment of damping phenomena …

The fate and distribution of subsurface hydrocarbons released during the 2010 MC252 oil spill in deep offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico
<p>The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform on April 20, 2010 resulted in the second largest oil spill in history. In this study, the distribution and chemical composition of hydrocarbons within a 45 km radius of the blowout was investigated. A complete set of hydrocarbon data were …
