Offshore/subsea systems
This paper explores the application of a modular, high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor to a Very Large Crude Carrier-class floating production, storage, and offloading vessel.
This paper describes the potential of combined-cycle technology (use of a gas turbine and a steam turbine together to turn fuel into electricity) in offshore carbon-capture applications.
This paper uses the structural-integrity-management framework to evaluate the current structural integrity of chosen platforms, highlighting their potential and limitations for carbon capture, use, and storage purposes based on in-service assessments.

Trials of the robotics company’s Hydronaut and Aquanaut system are expected in the third quarter of 2022 after the companies conducted a successful feasibility study.
-
Many hurdles for marinization of green hydrogen production already have been overcome in the offshore oil and wind sectors. A fresh set of challenges, however, will rise around developing and deploying hydrogen production facilities offshore.

The paper provides an approach to mitigating the adverse effects of mercury found in production fields, including treatment-facility requirements and suitable technologies for production fields and onshore facilities.
-
The paper describes a systems-engineering-guidance document currently being developed, and outlines the benefits associated with the use of formal systems-engineering processes when designing complex facilities.
-
The partnership of Subsea 7 and Flasc has a plan to use out-of-service pipelines as pressure vessels in a hydro-pneumatic energy storage concept.
-
The paper describes the components of an all-electric system, how it fits within a subsea application, and how it compares with traditional electrohydraulic systems.
