Asset integrity case development for normally unattended offshore installations
… of incidents. This stems from incidents to key offshore systems and areas. For example, gas turbine driven generators where 22% of fuel gas leaks were undetected with 60% of these 22% having been found to have ignited. Accordingly, there is a need for dynamic risk assessment and improved asset …

An investigation of energy-based planned maintenance of offshore drilling mud pumps.
Mud pumps used on offshore installations for drilling operations have been known to experience unpredictable breakdowns, including during critical stages of drilling. The fluid end has been identified as requiring more maintenance work due to component failure, compared to the power end. The most …

Automated anomaly recognition in real time data streams for oil and gas industry.
… are ideal in deep sea exploration studies, offshore installations and space exploration. This thesis firstly reviews studies about anomaly detection using machine learning. It then adopts the best practices from those studies in order to propose a multi-tiered framework for anomaly detection …

Design and assessment of a super high speed, hybrid hydrofoil/SWATH crew boat
… transportation of crew and cargo, to and from offshore installations. The design builds on Brizzolara's unmanned high speed hybrid SWATH/hydrofoil vessel concept (Brizzolara, 2010), maintaining the dual operating mode: foilborne to reach top speed of 85 knots in moderate sea states and a …

Aerial jurisdiction over safety zones surrounding maritime installations
… extensions of terrestrial mining than as serious offshore attempts. The technological feasibility of offshore oil ~nd gas mining has increased rapidly from the late 1950's onwards. 2This coincides, and more often than not is related to, recent vast developments in the Law of the Sea and pursuit of …

Assessing Dynamic Seabed Change on the Scottish Continental Shelf
… fluid mechanics can reduce the lifespan of offshore construction by modifying the foundational stability for offshore projects such as wind turbines and subsea cables. Dunes represent wave-like bedforms that range in size and mobility. They are generated by the mobility of sediment forced by …
