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.

The paper highlights key learnings in well and reservoir surveillance analysis and optimization that have been developed using early production data from the Wheatstone project offshore Australia. -
Flow assurance in subsea oil and gas fields often presents significant challenges. Every field has its own combination of difficulties, and no universal process or system can be used to mitigate these. Detailed knowledge across a broad range of competencies, therefore, is required to find solutions that can minimize the risk of not getting the hydrocarbons safely to t…
